Salutations fujoshi fudanshi fujin and friends!

Just a reminder of our presence at CitrusCon this Friday, August 23rd! CitrusCon is a free, virtual 18+ convention dedicated to BL, queer media, and all things fandom. 

Our founder Ms Boba has been invited as a speaker, and will give a talk titled “Rebuilding Community on the (fujo)Web”. To attend, all you need to do is register (for free!) by August 22.

Here’s the abstract: 

It’s hard to agree about anything on today’s internet… except that it isn’t the place it used to be! In this talk, we will explore the erosion of community on the modern web and the challenges in the way of building a more user-centered online ecosystem. 

There will be some time to answer questions from you all, so submit them (before Thursday) at this form for a chance at getting them answered and to spare us some awkward silence. They can be about anything that has to do with fandom, community and the social web! 

Excited for the talk? We sure are! Here are some slides for your (early bird) pleasure:
Preview slides from the upcoming FujoCoded talk at Citrus Con 2024, entitled Rebuilding Community  the (fujo)Web in nostalgic tumblr style because brand identity). Below, the FujoCoded logo, a lemon with a bite taken out of it.
Slide 2: "We can fix them" with arrows drawn between early platforms and those that came to take their respective places: LiveJournal to DreamWidth, fanfiction.net and fanlib to AO3, and Facebook/Tumblr/Twitter to the "what are birds? we just don't know" meme (a question mark above a photo of a little bird)

A slide reading Community: shared identity + shared experiences + shared values + mutual concern. On the side is the tumblr "they crave that mineral meme" with mineral crossed and replaced by community.
We sincerely hope to see you there,
The FujoCoded Team
