Moderation and Migration for a Better Social Web, with Fediverse Leader Tim Chambers https://flipboard.video/videos/watch/5856b195-a8b0-4b61-a386-f57cd0276936 The Fediverse is not a monolithic place. It’s constantly evolving and being shaped by smart, passionate people who want to make sure that the open social web is better than the social media we’ve had before. One steward everyone should know is Tim Chambers, the co-founder of Dewey Digital out of the Dewey Square Group, a public affairs firm in DC. Tim is the author of the quarterly Twitter Migration report, which tracks the exodus from X and other trends unfolding as a result. He is also the server admin of indieweb.social, a 1,500-strong instance on Mastodon where he learns by leading. Tim brings an informed perspective on many of the most important elements of life on the open social web.

It sounds like he's saying "fanpee", which doesn't exactly yield the greatest search returns. There's gotta be a different way to spell that name, but I have no idea what that might be.
