rabble
Rabble (Evan Henshaw-Plath) is a technologist, activist, and one of the original members of the Twitter founding team, where he helped build the platform in its earliest days after previously working on activist communication networks like Indymedia and TXTmob. Today he is the creator of Divine, an open-source decentralized social video platform exploring how social media can be rebuilt around user ownership, authenticity, and community governance rather than centralized corporate control.
Sessions
Presenters tabling at Thursday's Demo Night Market are invited to gather on the Main Lawn to practice your pitches, hone your storytelling and receive feedback from mentors and peers.
We'll also test out equipment and internet connection, and ensure you feel ready to demo tomorrow!
Back by popular demand: the DWeb Demo Night Market -- a festive evening kick-off event where you can get a taste of tech from around the world, directly from the decentralized tech stack. We’re highlighting “ready to test” new tools, in a beautifully lit outdoor market, where you can grab a cocktail and wander through dozens of select projects demonstrating their latest breakthroughs.
In part, check out projects to help plan for what sessions to attend in the week ahead.

Divine began as an attempt to bring back Vine, but quickly turned into something much bigger: a decentralized, human-first social video platform built to resist enshittification, AI slop, and centralized control. Since its announcement, the project has drawn massive attention — from hundreds of thousands of curious users and former Vine creators to coverage in outlets like TechCrunch, The Guardian, and TechRadar — revealing a deep hunger for a more creative, user-owned internet.
