This was definitely one of the most energetically received talks I've ever given
I talk about the technical and political challenges we're facing, why the current fediverse is not enough, but why there's hope, and why joy is essential to our success
For people not in the know, @librecast is a R&D initiative that's innovating the internet stack with support of @NGIZero and @nlnet
First, to enable #multicast on the unicast internet an overlay network is planned, based on #WebRTC. See:

#Librecast LIVE will bring all the technology together, to demonstrate and be a reference implementation. With #ActivityPub support being planned. See:
You got me hooked to spritely! I hope to e able to test it soon.
(I mean if there were any ambiguity, I am saying neither the current fediverse, nor bluesky, and definitely not any of the present proprietary social media systems are enough to meet the needs of activists, organizing, vulnerable people today)
This is a small personal instance of Bonfire in the Fediverse.
