Loops could be the most active fediverse platform by the end of 2026.

TikTok is the world's most popular social app, facing a forced sale to Oracle while US politics poison its algorithm. Millions will be looking for alternatives.

We have few real short-video platforms in the fediverse. This is our moment.

Let's make history together šŸš€

If you're lonely or isolated or finding the Christmas period difficult for any reason, you might want to follow the hashtag #JoinIn

This tag is intended for people to start friendly chats about everyday stuff they're doing like making food, going for walks, listening to music etc.

It's fine to reply to posts with the JoinIn tag as the person who made the post is actively seeking conversation šŸ™‚

šŸŽ„ 6,000 pre-orders before Christmas. What a pleasant present.šŸŽ„

The new Jolla Phone has just passed 6k pre-orders, and it really feels like a shared milestone. Quietly impressive. Very much community-driven.

In the latest forum update, we share hardware progress, details on cameras and battery, cellular connectivity configuration and more. There’s also a question to the community about how a future referral program should work, and what kind of rewards would truly make sense.

If you have a calm holiday moment between meals and walks, this is a good read.

šŸ‘‰ Join the conversation: forum.sailfishos.org/t/next-ge…

Warm thanks, and peaceful holidays to everyone building this together ✨

#AmazingWorld
In #Alaska, nature sculpted this lone tree into a frozen wave at sunrise.
Relentless wind, drifting snow, and rime ice stacked layer by layer until the branches looked like feathers made of frost.
That soft golden glow is the sun catching every icy strand, turning the whole scene into a winter sculpture for a few brief moments.
Bent by the storm, but still standing. Still reaching.

If you need a bit of ocean in your day (and who doesn't?), here's me in full ocean-enthusiast mode, on the BBC podcast/videocast The Climate Question. Now available both as a video-podcast and good old-fashioned audio-only podcast:

After our last yearly reconnection in Distant Feeling(s) We (Annie & Associação Liminal) would like to share the Distant Feelings Goodbyes 2017 – 2024 video that Daniel had been preparing before passing.

It is a beautiful piece, which showcases the moment, after every gathering, when we say goodbye to each other. Everyone can watch and download the 34 min long video, and it will only be available online until the 1st of February 2026.

ā€œPeople get used to anything. The less you think about your oppression, the more your tolerance for it grows. After a while, people just think oppression is the normal state of things. But to become free, you have to be acutely aware of being a slave.ā€
