Good morning Fedi friends!
Today marks the one year anniversary of the release of my video “Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media”
🔗: aseachange.com/@elena/statuses…
I’m super grateful towards:
💙 volunteers who translated the subtitles
💚 those who produced foreign-language voice-over narrations
💛 people who showed the video at conferences
🧡 everyone who shared the video
❤️ people who sent in positive feedback
It really takes a village 💜
Dear Fedi friends,I'm really proud to share with you a video I made: "Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media" news.elenarossini.com/fedivers…
In this 4-minute video I explain what the #fediverse is to people not familiar with it, mentioning some of its great features and benefits (interoperability, no ads, no surveillance...) and I set it in contrast to the world of Big Tech social platforms. I argue that, with the rise of Big Tech oligarchs and the current political climate, there has never been a better time to join the fediverse.
I hope you will enjoy this video and that you will find it useful (maybe as a tool to introduce your friends, family, colleagues, school administrators, local government officials to it).
The fediverse has truly changed my life, making me a better, more empowered digital citizen. I am endlessly grateful for it, so this is my contribution to the cause ❤️
I am also incredibly thankful for the work of @samaaberg and @patel.riyen who helped me bring my vision to life with their amazing cinematography skills and their assistance throughout the process, providing brilliant feedback to the script / edits from the POV of fedi newbies.
And I was also moved by the generous help of people of the Fediverse who volunteered to translate the script into many foreign languages: @jan @fritjof @erikkemp @sknob @severin @clabru @tarcisiosurdi @hongminhee @danielcasanueva @ainali @nacly
Lastly, I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to premiere the video last week at #FediForum - thank you @j12t and @anca
The video is up on my self-hosted PeerTube instance (thank you @yunohost) and for now it is unlisted as I have no idea how my VPS will hold up. I also included an alternate location in the blog post.
I hope you'll enjoy it! It's been a real labor of love (a month of full time work on it)... I see it as my love letter to the fediverse 💌

As a non-techie (ab)user* of computers and the fediverse I love it!
* (ab)user = user who doesn't know what he is doing half the time, and the other half struggling to put right what has gone wrong!
