Aria Salvatrice<a href="https://mastodon.social/@fedilore" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@fedilore</a> The <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fediforum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediforum</a> conference was canceled for a specific reason: we have proven who she is conclusively enough even <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IFTAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IFTAS</a> members, normally complacent about enabling transphobia, felt reticent about the optics of participating. You can't simply make a twitter account go private and pretend it never happened: they knew it wouldn't work.

But why let the FediForum organizers' screwups sabotage a worthwhile conversation? We decided to go ahead with the discussion anyhow. Here's the notes.Feedback welcome!

@BjornW@mastodon.socialSometimes we need to remember that there's people behind all the bits & bytes we send & receive through the fiber optics over vast distances.Thanks <a href="https://j12t.social/@j12t" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@j12t</a> & <a href="https://mastodon.social/@fediforum" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@fediforum</a> for being open to change & willingness to do better. Take care! As mentioned during the discussion, I'm happy to help out with re-thinking Fediforum.These times require us to have a forum where we all can discuss, inspire and collaborate towards a Fediverse for us all & by us all.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Fediforum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediforum</a>

Andy PiperHuge respect for <a href="https://j12t.social/@j12t" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@j12t</a> for cancelling <a href="https://macaw.social/tags/fediforum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediforum</a> and taking time to reflect, listen and learn. I'm really sad that we didn't get the event this time, but there has been a good discussion around the issues and future opportunities.

Ben WerdmullerMy friend <a href="https://j12t.social/@j12t" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@j12t</a> is a kind, empathetic person, and this response to troubles with <a href="https://werd.social/tags/FediForum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediForum</a> was the responsible thing to do. I'm very hopeful for the event's future. <a href="https://wedistribute.org/2025/03/fediforum-canceled/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wedistribute.org/2025/03/fediforum-canceled/</a>

Michalis Famelis/ΦαμέληςIt is disappointing but the <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/fediforum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediforum</a> event for April 2025 has been cancelled: <a href="https://wedistribute.org/2025/03/fediforum-canceled/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wedistribute.org/2025/03/fediforum-canceled/</a>

Seth is a Perpetual Startup ⁂<a href="https://j12t.social/@j12t" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@j12t</a> Since Fediforum is not happening. It would be wise to refund people their $. Especially under the circumstances of this cancellation.It's unfortunate, but it would be the right thing to do.<a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/fediforum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediforum</a>

Seth is a Perpetual Startup ⁂<a href="https://indieweb.social/tags/Fediforum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediforum</a> was cancelled probably for the best! But still lots of us are out $$$$. This is frustrating.Update: Johannes the remaining organizer is refunding or applying tix to the next one.I feel for him. But he made the right choice.

Aria SalvatriceI have held a counter protest talk against the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fediforum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediforum</a> ( <a href="https://mastodon.social/@fediforum" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@fediforum</a> ) being held by TERF co-organizer Kaliya Hamlin-It turns out this will be the only talk given this edition. My talk is here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy5O2LjeuDY" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy5O2LjeuDY</a>In it, i discuss the harassment trans women from a working class background have faced on Mastodon for the last two years - and how it fits in Trust and Safety's participation to that conferenceTranscript later today - I worked all day yesterday to get my talk done in time.

Michał "rysiek" Woźniak · 🇺🇦So, this edition of <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FediForum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediForum</a> is cancelled due to one of the (now recently former) co-organizers turning out to be a TERF. :blobcat0_0: *Sigh*Don't make me tap the sign:<a href="https://mstdn.social/@rysiek/109306419120230778" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mstdn.social/@rysiek/109306419120230778</a>TERFs can go suck a lemon. 🍋 <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FediMeta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediMeta</a>

Ety, Ringer of Bells ^GI've got almost every permutation of 'fedi meta' muted to hell and back since the early days, which means that I'm just now learning that <a href="https://hive.institute/tags/FediForum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediForum</a> is cancelled.Catching up on it now, what a fucking mess. It feels oddly appropriate that we're yanking that one on TDoV.It's also oddly appropriate that some of the extant holdouts on defending it were some of the voices that led me to implementing the meta mutefest in the first place.Very mindful.

The Fedilore Otter 🦦Also: the summary at the top is very good, but the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FediForum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FediForum</a> part starts at this timestamp.<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy5O2LjeuDY&t=816s" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy5O2LjeuDY&t=816s</a>

Rach(el) Against The Machineafter busying myself with work and errands for a little while, I came back to find that, roughly an hour ago from this posting, the official account had posted a follow-up. the good: they canceled the thing and decided to reorganize.the bad: there's only one fleeting mention of trans people. and it's not even in the context of transphobia. instead, it's a vague commitment to including trans people, among others, in whatever happens next. <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/fediforum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediforum</a> had the opportunity to come out in support of the people whom their former co-runner hate-speeched repeatedly. they chose not to.

Rach(el) Against The Machineearlier today, I briefly engaged the official <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/fediforum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediforum</a> account regarding former co-runner Kaliya AKA <a href="https://mas.to/@Identitywoman" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Identitywoman</a> 's transphobia/TERFery. therein, I gave them the opportunity to emphatically denounce Kaliya's hate speech. I initially received a tepid reply simply quoting the organization's code of conduct. and so, I pushed back, gracefully but firmly, and waited for their response. you can view the series of posts here, and they're also screenshotted below in case something happens to them: <a href="https://mastodon.social/@fediforum/114258671876657662" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mastodon.social/@fediforum/114258671876657662</a>please note that my last reply - the one starting with "I appreciate the sentiment" - was never followed up on.
