The Fediverse video platform PeerTube is currently raising funds to improve the platform and its new mobile app. You can donate at:

PeerTube has been in continuous active development since 2018 and they have delivered all the features promised in previous fundraising drives. It's run by the non-profit Framasoft, France's main organisation promoting free open source software.

If you see an account profile marked "Automated" or "Bot", it doesn't mean anything bad!

The "Automated" label is activated by account owners who want to let people know that they aren't monitoring the replies to their posts, usually because a bot is running it.

Accounts that use this label are "good bots", providing useful services such as weather updates or interactive games. Bad bots simply wouldn't use the label at all.

Dear Fedi friends,

I'm really proud to share with you a video I made: "Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media" https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/

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 💌

You can restrict the audience of your posts on Mastodon using post visibility settings. You can set each post's visibility separately if you want, and you can also choose a default visibility.

There are four or five different visibility settings which let you control who can see your posts and how easily they can be discovered.

Instructions on how to set Mastodon's post visibilities (and lots of questions answered about this feature) at:

How to see which hashtags you are following in Mastodon:

- If you're on the website go to your profile page, click ⋯ and then "Followed hashtags"

- If you're on the official app, go to your profile page and click # at the top

- If you're on a third party app, it will be various different interfaces but it's often in the settings or profile settings
