Good morning Fedi friends!

This is the last week my wonderful interns @samaaberg and @patel.riyen are here in Paris 🥲

We're currently creating short extracts of the Fedi promo video that anybody could use on their own social media accounts. We'll share them by Friday.

And Sam & Riyen just talked me into uploading the video to YouTube, to spread the message far and wide. Here we go: youtu.be/YRJHIJy5Nno

Adding more subtitles by volunteers (Polish, Catalan, etc.) soon! ❤️

I posted the video link on my Facebook account and will do the same on my YouTube account. It's an AMAZINGLY GREAT video! Your team has done a WONDERFUL JOB!

Your blog is beautiful 😻

Update: I just had to edit the description on YouTube to say that the video was originally released on PeerTube last week... because I was getting inundated with complaints ("why isn't this video on PeerTube?"). Ouf.

You know you need to go offline when you start replying to people all in caps "IT WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED ON PEERTUBE!" 🫠

Anyway, I'm off to a screening of the film as part of the internship program Sam & Riyen were in. Excited to show it again ✨ 🚀

Thanks for the update!
Bug report: I just noticed that the "For more info...." link is chopped of in the video description and not clickable. Might need to fix! :)

Thank you for perfectly illustrating why defederated platforms alone aren't the solution when you're trying to survive as someone who makes any kind of online content (videos, movies, art, etc) and you want more than five or so people to even know your work exists (:

"have you tried using peertube?" has become an in-joke among my topless equality community...given how often a new fedi person stumbles onto us and offers unsolicited advice for something I've been doing for YEARS.

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂

try sharing it with the organisers of the #NoKings movement. It is timely. People can transfer their digital activisism to the fediverse.
in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂

thank you for also doing the emotional labor concerning the unmotivational and lazy “why not PeerTube” messages… 💪🫶🏽

And even if it was published on YT… berthub.eu/articles/posts/yeah…

@snaggen Oh yes, it really is. Really.

And if you don't find it on peertube, that's because Elena decided to not make the video listed in order to protect her peertube instance from ActivityPub-related overpowering by excessive popularity. As she stated at least a couple of times already. Nothing to do with PeerTube.

@snaggen @jorgecandeias Unfortunately, I've encountered numerous fediverse users who tend to get quite vitriolic if you ever suggest that the fediverse has flaws, especially as a creator who wants more than a handful of people to find out your work even exists. Not saying Jorge necessarily goes to this level, but a lot of fediverse users do. Listen, fedi definitely has its qualities...but discovery of content by new people is NOT one of them, and that's vital to survive as a creator.
in reply to Topless Topics

@toplessTopics @snaggen That's not what this conversation is about.

This conversation is about some people refusing to understand that finding people where they are to try to bring them over doesn't have the slightest thing to do with real or imaginary flaws in Fediverse services, but with simple demographics.

unbelievable…. and worrying.

Trump: I don’t like this Twitter, I will create my own socials platform…

9.000.000 MAGA-lunatics: let’s go!!!!

Filmmaker: let’s tell important stories such as about the Fediverse and its role!

People: who in the world dares to enable peer-2-peer within peertube?!?!

Again… thanx for the emotional labor besides your artistic and urgent work.

Congrats on proving the existence of the very same kind of fediverse users I just lamented about 🤷‍♀️
in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂

This is the first time ever I've been asked to give a feedback on YT. Gave it gladly and without hesitation!

in reply to Elena Rossini ⁂

I embedded your video in a blog post.
I hope this is OK.

Happy to take it down if you are not comfortable with it.

Also...thanks for making the video!
