@hpod16 Sorry – it's me again. I sent you a bit too much text.
Here are two short videos.https://fedi.video/w/cbQE3NRw76FayQCSdb14TU

No YouTube – enjoy them. Have a lovely weekend!
@Trojaner awww thanks!

@der_schrank
you may have to explain to me this difference between Mastodon and fediverse. It's one of these things I don't fully understand yet (be kind, I'm new)@hpod16 @der_schrank another fairly good analogy is email: if a Mastodon instance (server) is an email provider, like Gmail or an organisation's own email server, then the Fediverse would be email as an interoperable technology. Gmail and Outlook work very differently and have their own features and apps, but you can still send messages between these systems.

@dalcacer I'm loving my first day on Mastodon!
Did not expect this much reaction and now feeling a little shy.I'm here because we need more people who understand Mastodon / the Fediverse. I know noting, but I'm keen to learn.
And quite frankly, we owe it to Europeans to promote European tech solutions.@hpod16 I’m glad you’re having such a good start!
My point is that others struggle with the concepts/software for whatever reason.
There are dedicated pages for onboarding, but I feel a broad coherent campaign with sane defaults would be a greater pull factor.

@twaagoo @der_schrank I think I have heard this analogy before.... Thanks! :)
That does help explain -

@dalcacer I have to admit this is my second attempt at Mastodon. Or third.
The first two times I found it too discouraging and gave up.
I think these days we expect things online to come to us very easily, and we are equally as easily discouraged -
Here's my first Mastodon post!
My mission out here? To understand and promote Mastodon, the only large European social media platform (to my knowledge).
How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16 Welcome! 👏👍

@hpod16 Welcome!
To promote this alternative, it is helpful to invite colleagues and friends to participate and give them reasons why it is important and better for the European and personal autonomy. This document may help to explain this.
https://fedi.tips/Wholeheartedly seconding the recommendation of FediTips, i..e bullets 3-6 of the QUICK START on the landing page!
It's a guide for "how to ...", "what is ...", "where do I find ..." questions, but if you're looking for content recommendations, you need to be your own algorithm. 🌞
If you're into things like hashtag games, musical hashtag games, motto photography and similar, it's here too, but not "on the nose" to find, so just ask.
Enjoy!

How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16 Hi Hannah 😃 Not just Europeans, we should be using European tech globally, plus of course this advert and bias free! Anyway, nice post, and hope feel welcome.

@BrennpunktUA @hpod16 So we’ll meet again… in a different shape and form. It gets mysterious 😀

How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16 Personally, I talk about the Fediverse and why it is important a lot and there are many opportunities, even when just doing small talk. Most people are not happy with being manipulated by big tech, ad-driven social media. For many, I'm the first person to even tell them about the Fediverse. Of course, the vast majority won't join right away, but every impulse helps. I like focusing on positive aspects and advantages, and try to reach the person where they're at right now. And depending on the circumstances it might not be more than namedropping, but I still think it's very important to do. And I do look out for other opportunities to promote it.
I also like pointing people here:

How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16 Be a role model yourself. Use the Fediverse. Bring celebrities and politicians into the Fediverse. Preferably publish content in the Fediverse.

I'm enjoying Mastodon so far because it reminds me of a different time on social media.
There was a time I was to taken with social media, I loved it enough to make it my whole career. It's been 10 years since I started working with social media, and I've seen a lot of... change, much of it for the worse. Still believe that social media can be harnessed for good though. -

How can we make more Europeans come to the Fediverse?@hpod16 Hello from the UK.
It's much more about values (like Václav Havel) than explaining rules. And some fun! -

On EU politicians: the first European Commissioner Henna Virkkunen just joined last week.
@HennaVirkkunen
She was set up with an account on the official EC instance, so people know it's really her.
But I'll promote it amongst other politicians when I meet them too! -
@karlos there is an instance by the European Commission, but not by the European Parliament, so you make a fair point. A project for the future could be to get all EU institutions onto one EU Instance...
Inspiring comment, and thank you! -

I tend to sign up for all the new platforms (I'm a social media manager, so I want to stay on top of it all) but only the ones that really engage me keep me coming back.
Oh, an active community, that's important. Impressed with reactions here so far!

It would be fantastic if the primary online presence of the union could be European.

L’America che non si fa intimidire da Trump: il Minnesota sciopera per dire «basta Ice»
> La repressione violenta condotta da Ice e le derive autoritarie dell’attuale amministrazione Usa trovano un fronte di resistenza anzitutto a Minneapolis, luogo dell’assassinio di Good. Negozianti che chiudono, solidarietà di vicinato, preti e parlamentari che sfidano le manette: la politica non può non tenerne conto

@adriananselmo @vonblubba Perdomani, ho letto e interpretato male il primo messaggio. Non mi sto riferendo a chi deve essere reperibile ma agli altri. Voi siete esclusi.
Personalmente, per me ha senso, visto che il telefono/sveglia mi permette di essere granulare nell'impostazione giornaliera, cosa che una normale sveglia non fa. In più ho risparmiato soldi e salvato un dispositivo dal macero.
Non giudico nessuno, ci mancherebbe. La mia è semplice curiosità.

@fucinafibonacci @giochi quindi come al solito si punta il dito contro i videogiochi.
Uno ha fatto una strage in una scuola, aveva installato Doom, la colpa è del videogioco non che si fosse procurato un arsenale...
-
@stefano_zan @filippodb @emanuelegori @attualita @thegib dunque l'immagine di Trump per mano al pinguino solitario significherebbe che i due stanno dirigendosi verso la loro fine in un inconscio impulso di autodistruzione. Corretto?
-
@fucinafibonacci @giochi sono di sinistra, e mi piace giovare a Crusader King II, come Civilization e compagnia. Questo articolo del post è fatto male, come se la colpa fosse di paradox o del gioco e non di quelle teste bacate che si radicalizzerebbero in ogni modo.
Poi non ci gioco da un po', ma mi pare di ricordare che puoi prendere il controllo anche di una casata islamica e difenderti dagli europei.
Sicuro si potevano fare unioni miste ed allearsi con i saraceni.

@emanuelegori @attualita ma non è che volesse comprare l'Antartide😳

il capo della polizia di Brooklyn Park (Minnesota), Mark Bruley,ha dichiarato:
"se queste cose accadono ai nostri agenti di polizia,mi addolora pensare quanti membri della nostra comunità sono vittime [dell'#ICE] ogni giorno. Questo DEVE FINIRE":
