Friend Camp has about 50 active users and I just noticed we have more than half a million posts here since August 2018! I mean that's 11 a day per person on average but still. That seems wild to me.
Last I checked something like 75% of our posts are unfederated. That's still 125 thousand posts sent to the fediverse. I think local-only posting increases the vitality of community, increasing the volume of overall activity, and contributing more to the fediverse than a less vital instance would.

i've tagged out 600+ open source, experimental and tiny tools by their qualities and built a new website for sorting through them!
these are all tools towards joyful digital creation, with the goal of enabling working entirely outside of proprietary systems- moving instead from one hand-made software to another.
(the list takes submissions if it is missing yours >:))

tbc, my job (criminal record clearance) is also in part funded by CZI. no shade, just honestly always shocked by the reach of that philanthropic org
coops reading & discussion group
ebprec's biggest chunk of money was from CZI last year? what? that zuckerberg money is *everywhere*
also: cooler, they got a chunk of change from rainbow grocery's foundation
