Some good news: the team at @bsky.app just awarded Gifthood a $2,000 AT Protocol grant. Thank you, sincerely. It means a lot that the people building the open network believe in what we're trying to do to build stronger connections among neighbors.

Our application to a fiscal sponsor was rejected. It’s fine. We’ll figure things out without their help.

New_ Public’s @blaine.bsky.social reveals to @rabble.nz how Twitter was almost decentralized — like Bluesky or Mastodon — way back in 2008. Nearly 20 years later, Blaine is now the Head Engineer of Roundabout, our local community app, where he's helping us create a better social media.

Good morning. Notifications have gotten a bit of a sprucing up, as we say around here 🌲. You now have fine-grained control over what the app may bug you with and what should go unnotified. Find it under Settings → Notification Settings

Gifthood.community notification settings page. A 'Notify me on this device' toggle is off, while a master 'Allow notifications' toggle is on. Below it, individual toggles for Messages, Interest in your listings, New followers, Notes on your listings, Exchange updates, and New listings nearby are all on. A distance selector for nearby listings is set to 'Same as my feed (within ~5 km),' with options for ~1.2 km and ~5 km.

Congratulations to @brittanyellich.com on her first month at Bluesky. Gifthood is actively (as time allows) participating in Atmospheric Groups on Atproto, as I feel this will be an important aspect for many future participants in a healthy mutual aid platform that Gifthood strives to become.

The summertime requests are coming in. 🍨

Ice cream maker

Requested in Mississippi · Portland, OR — Someone in my home REALLY wants to make their own ice cream. Anyone have an unused machine lying around to give to the cause?

Because Gifthood is a proud Portland, Oregon-made project. You can find us now at gifthood.portland.or.us. We are also nerds, so this absolutely had to be done.

Gifthood — an open gifting community

Neighbors giving freely. Free things, offered and asked for by the people who live near you, on an open network you actually own. No money, no marketplace, no catch.

You know, it's a funny thing. My neighbor has a ladder. I need a ladder maybe twice a year. So what did I do? I bought a ladder. Now there are two ladders sitting in two garages, doing nothing, forty feet apart.

The Condition of Giving

Why I'm building a gifting community on a network you actually own, and what that has to do with a couch, a geohash, and the open web.
