#telleveryone — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #telleveryone, aggregated by home.social.

  1. As some of you already know, although the #TootWales event has been planned for quite some time, due to a very sudden and unexpected death in the family last week the tenor of this trip took a very sharp turn.

    It's been uplifting to be home with family, and with all who attended the event and are now beginning to #TellEveryone about our app and our community.

    It's hard to describe how daffodils reach into your heart at this time of year as we witness rebirth, but they really being me joy.

  2. @jaz People are just so civilised here. It’s like being back in the EU again. #TellEveryone #Mastodon

  3. @jaz There's no algorithm to determine what I see. I see the posts from the people I follow. Period. #TellEveryone

  4. @jaz
    The people, of course.

    Every single person in here has made the deliberate choice of stepping out of the beaten track. So pretty much everyone here is self-selected for having the ambition of finding their own path through life.
    I 💖 it!

    [The flip side is obvious - self-selection has costs in terms of overall numbers, entry barriers, accessibility, etc. Unfortunate, but everything comes with both pros and cons.]

  5. @jaz You only really get the "own your own data" thing by running your own server, but that's what I do, so that's what I get.

    I know I can't be banned or moderated badly by the whole fediverse at once. I know where my data lives, I know where it's backed up, I know I haven't signed away wordwide reproduction rights to anyone. I know nobody will be inserting adverts or biased selection algorithms because I control what runs on my server.

    There are lost of things that I love about Mastodon, but the thing that saves me every day is the ability to edit posts.... there is a cottage industry among my followers spotting my typos (and also occasional analytical miss-steps) & being able to edit the post is just brilliant.

    #TellEveryone

  7. @jaz Interesting and intelligent people who talk about ideas, not celebrities. I learn something new everyday from my Mastodon feed. #TellEveryone

  8. @jaz A real feeling of community and no ads! This is how social media should be. #telleveryone

  9. @jaz

    The Fediverse is made up of individual humans. It's chaotic, some parts of it are rude, and there's a learning curve. But the path forward for Fedi is towards democracy, rather than authoritarianism.

    I actually see content that I signed up for. Not what a shady algorithm wants me to see.

  11. For sculpting the skull is like the line and box exercises for drawing. So, I took the challenge and made today's prompt. A skull.

    I just looked at images of the famous book "Anatomy for Sculptors" and on the one side I am very happy with the results but I see where I can improve, for sure.

  14. @jaz For me, it's the people.

    There aren't algorithms, or pages that spam you, or posts from groups you don't care about; you follow those who post things you find interesting, you follow hashtags to connect you with content that's right up your street, and your home timeline is tailored to your preferences and only show people or hashtags you choose to follow.

    People are helpful, kind, interesting; bad social media has lost sight of that. The #Fediverse reminds us of the good.

    #TellEveryone

  15. @jaz Engagement on the Fediverse feels more meaningful than on most mainstream social media. It feels like the percentage of lurkers is lower here too! #TellEveryone

  16. @jaz There are so many reasons I love the #fediverse

    The main one at the moment is that is gives me a safe and happy place to spend my time when I wake up at 2am with nothing to do and no one to talk to (they are all sleeping).

    I can scroll away for hours and be entertained and engrossed in new and interesting topics.

    I also don't have any pressure to be active until I fully wake up, which is now at 5am.

    #TellEveryone ❤️

  17. @jaz I like the diversity of people and their interests. #TellEveryone

  18. @jaz ❤️ tech.lgbt instance by @david where there’s real inclusivity for BIPOC & LGBT+

    Feel it’s more authentic to connect with real people here on the Open Web vs. enshittified Big Social

    Met awesome individuals like @Em0nM4stodon (when i 1st joined) due to shared interests in privacy & safety online for women and marginalized folx

    So many more reasons than what fits in a toot 🔥

    I LOVE the #Fediverse as there are no algorithms controlling what you see and no adverts telling you how to spend your money.

    The #Fediverse is a much, much #BetterSocialMedia as our conversations are civilised...even when we disagree with each other, we do so politely and respectfully.

    The #Fediverse is decentralised...it's owned by no one person and by everyone. Toots are moderated carefully without quashing free speech but still maintaining a safe space for us all.

    #TellEveryone ❤️❤️❤️

  20. 👋 If you can see this toot you are on the #Fediverse enjoying #BetterSocialMedia

    How flippin' awesome is that!?

    In one or two sentences, tell me one thing that stands out for you personally, one of the reasons you enjoy being here.

    And if you're ok with me using your answer in promotional material to get more people here, add the tag #TellEveryone 📢

    This is some of the best about the #Fediverse so far:

    ✔ Many high value posts
    ✔ Very welcoming, mature & friendly #community
    ✔ The majority of the platforms are #OpenSource
    ✔ The #Filosophy is amazing
    ✔ A lot of it is NOT for profit
    ✔ Alternative to corporations
    ✔... 😀 👍

    #TellEveryone

  23. @jaz The Fediverse is a much more welcoming environment in which I’m not harangued by adverts or promoted posts, and I’m safe in the knowledge that my words and activity are not tracked in order to sell me things, in fact not tracked at all!
    #TellEveryone 📢 #BetterSocialMedia

  24. @jaz

    Everyone (well nearly everyone!) on the #Fediverse behaves like civilised, intelligent adults. We all, at least try, to give others the right to speak and be heard without being attacked...just as one would do in a face to face discourse.

    Content Warnings are used liberally as is Alt-text on images, videos, and even GIFs, and hastags (#) use pascal case (freecodecamp.org/news/snake-ca) all of which makes the #Fediverse a more inclusive space for everyone.

  26. Thought jumping out at this point in Teri K's thread

    Equality (fairness / due process) have always been at odds with freedom ("negative freedom" as in "freedom from" - the urge to have the government leave one TF alone.

    This is our historical foundation: the attempt to merge equality and freedom. It's a delicate balance in reality.

    Lovely, when it works. But it takes all of us.

  30. Meanwhile, here are tips I wrote in 2017 about how to spot propaganda techniques. I'll probably update them, but they still work!

    Propaganda, including disinformation, works by pumping your emotions. Seeing it breaks the cycle, hopefully.

    Emotions are cool to acknowledge, but my oh my, we don't need to react upon them. We can kiss them on their heads, and shuttle them out of our way.
