Nice overview of the new Thundermail service from Kev Quirk:

\n

My Inital Thoughts On Thunderbird Pro - Kev Quirk

\n
\n

If I’m honest, my first impressions are underwhelming. I get that this is an early preview but for the price, services like Zoho and Fastmail are better services, and better value for money.

\n
\n
\n

I don’t regret signing up though - it’s important to support open source services, and as Thunderbird Pro matures, it will hopefully evolve into a service that can contend with the OG’s in this space.

A nice overview of FediForum and 2mr.social - two recent fediverse conferences:

\n

FR#161 – Conference Edition

\n
\n

Across both events, the open social web is widening out a bit. FediForum gave the headline slot to a Dutch MEP and put introductory talks on both ActivityPub and atproto on the program. 2mr.social brought politicians, media and civil society together in Hamburg, and ended with a declaration framing Matrix, the fediverse, and atproto as three parts of one European social stack.
