i think i can say that i am a stollen ambassador on fedi

some people might have bought stollen more

@hansw
Pretty good idea. And with the advent of owncast.online and PeerTube livestreaming, we could talk to and immerse newcommers in the Fediverse right from the start.

@zleap

@torresjrjr @savjee@masmsddn.io With this guide, how many people hang out in IRC ? I am asking as would it be worth, at a set time each week a group of us being in an IRC channel to answer questions about Mastodon / Fediverse. ?

It may help bring people over if they could talk to someone and ask questions. It is easy enough to put a widget on a website and then publish a link, (we can do this with my blog as I have a widget on there),

Is there a free software equivalent of say meet up, ?

For explaining the gist of the Fediverse to your unenlightened friend. Feedback and contributions are most welcome.

Yay, I think I have a development setup on elementary OS that I’m happy with. Will talk about it more in the coming days.

This is the best I’ve felt yet since switching to Linux.

Finally have something calm and dependable.

Looking forward to contributing to this lovely ecosystem.

The UK has the 5th Richest ECONOMY in the world, and yet we are now being given handouts by UNICEF

Is this evidence there is something seriously wrong with our system for us to end up like this.

Sadly, we’re cancelling this as our web host has suffered a distributed denial of service attack and things are still shaky with a couple of hours to go.

We might reschedule or pick things up again next year.

@TonyStark Unfit Presidents do a lot more damage than people think.

@peertube @zleap Interesting idea. 👍
As a workaround, I guess you could upload the video to #peertube as private, and publish it manually later. 🤔

NB: support and discussion about peertube happens more on the #discourse #forum here :

(You’ll need an account to interact afaik.)

In case you missed it, a couple of years ago Mastodon made an animated introduction explaining how it works.

✅ Mastodon's official promo video is available on PeerTube at tilvids.com/videos/watch/887e7 and on YouTube at youtube.com/watch?v=IPSbNdBmWK

The same video is also useful for explaining federated networks in general.

Age is not the issue. Competence and character are. You can be 90 and if you're capable, there shouldn't be a problem.  There are lots of 30-year-olds who fail the competence test.

Voters elected her. Let's not be the party who wants to overturn our own people.

Most of the progressives who are whining about age would be shimmying like a cat in heat if Bernie Sanders had been elected, or chosen for a Cabinet position, anyway.

We’re currently monitoring the situation and preparing for our Small Is Beautiful live stream with @laura but there’s the chance that we might have to cancel it if the DDOS attack continues and our site is down.

Will update you.
