schmonz.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.

Ever noticed how projects stall… even when everyone’s “busy”? 🤔
That’s invisible work — the silent velocity killer.
Teams wait → pick up new tasks → nothing completes.
The cure?
