Happy Bandi Chhor Divas to all celebrating today!

The Sikh holiday is a celebration of the day the Sixth Guru was released from prison, carrying with him 52 Hindu kings. It's a time to celebrate freedom and reflect on the importance of human rights.

CrowdBucks update:

The CrowdBucks team is working on adding Euro (€) support.

⁂

CrowdBucks is a open-source, Fediverse-native, self-hostable way to FUND THE FEDIVERSE.

To help support Fediverse server sysops, to support Fediverse developers, to support creators, and more.

⁂

Accepting Euro is relatively easy. But, there is some work to add Euro support to the user-experience.

The way people connect will outlast us — 10, 20, even 200 years into the future.

What we build today will decide whether that future is free and open, or owned by corporations.

Build software. Build communities. Spread awareness.

The foundation starts now — we call it the #socialWeb

"Real-time sharing of short text messages and links — so-called “microblogging” — is the heart of social networks from LinkedIn to Twitter. But articles and blog posts, with finer details, deeper thought and more analysis, are a crucial part of what the Web is for..."

the term microblogging is confusing. it's a social news feed. what's unique here is the "boost". not just posts/links, but just add #ActivityPub and any media can go viral. we decide together what deserves attention. #SocialWeb
