Listen up Mastodonians, because this is important:
Right now we have a unique chance to rise up and hit back against Zuckerberg and Musk. Because italian filmmaker @_elena and her friends have made an OUTSTANDING short film, which explains why people should quit the fascist social networks and come join us in the fediverse.
Hit the fascists where it hurts — make this go viral by watching it and liking it on YouTube, then hit the share button and share it everywhere!

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •May I also suggest this 6 minutes long video (despite it being hosted on YouTube) by Simply Explained: youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&…
It focuses more on de-centralisation as a concept, the value of ActivityPub and platform-lock-in. Also I like that it provides sources and citations ( simplyexplained.com/videos/mas… ), and that it is a bit slower, and doesn't continuously jump from one scene to another.

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •wait, so you’re telling me that we anti-algorithm folks should use algorithm magic to help spread non-algorithmhood?
My brain hurts

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •one observation, if it helps resolve this cognitive dissonance for y'all, is that isn't algorithms per se that you should be against. Instead, demand algorithms that you control and understand, rather than ones that make Facebook money.
techdirt.com/2019/08/28/protoc… <-- this is the way. not sure where this aversion to algorithms came from in the first place.
worth noting: mastodon.social/explore has an algorithm. just sayin'

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •love the video and fedi.
but I don't think the algos will boost something against their owners' interests just cause we share it. they are smarter than that. being against algos and the way they force people to see stuff they don't want to, I also don't want to participate in that.
and I want fascists here (with mods to keep them from bothering people). I want everybody here. like the web and unlike places with algos, we can all coexist and not see stuff we don't want to.

in reply to micchiato 🍉 • • •@micchiato I think what you are doing here is not helpful.
I am posting about a completely different topic, and then suddenly you want to involve me in a discussion about a dispute you have had with Mastodon years ago.
I have no insight into your dispute with Mastodon, I am not involved in this dispute, and I have no way of knowing who is right or wrong.
If you do not like Mastodon that is perfectly alright, but it does not change the fact that Mastodon has been extremely useful for me.

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •Dear @_elena ,
I just watched the video. It is fantastic and I thank you for it. It was a time capsule for me, it reminded me at once all the hopes and expectations I placed in the internet when I started to use it in 1998. God it drifted.

Mark Wyner Won’t Comply
in reply to Randahl Fink • • •Ah, yes. Valid argument.
But I’d counter by saying folks here on the fediverse would do best to watch it on PeerTube, because it amplifies a better platform. And Mastodonians are already fediverse enabled. But for sharing with friends/family who aren’t yet convinced, who remain on big social, the YT link is probably best.

Why not #peertube?

Jon F
in reply to Randahl Fink • • •It's pretty obvious the intended audience is people who are still on the toxic sites, who don't know about the existence of the fediverse,
Randahl's post is directed at Mastodon users who maintain an account on youtube. I am not one of them, so I can't spread the word in this way... but the concept is sound IMO.

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •"no surveillance" is a bold claim, the fediverse is just as prone to it as anything else on the web.
Banger of a video otherwise. Fedi is the way.
Randahl Fink
in reply to Noxy 🐾🏳️🌈 • • •@noxypaws I think @_elena is right. I will much rather be here where my communication is not analyzed to death by the platform itself.
Screen scraping Mastodon is a lot let efficient and can only monitor what I make public — not my direct or unlisted messages.
Noxy 🐾🏳️🌈
in reply to Randahl Fink • • •Only what's public, yes, but if someone doing surveillance is able to get an instance they're interested in to federate with them, kinda does the work for them without having to resort to screen scraping, no?
I could be wrong, my understanding of federation isn't very deep, but I feel like surveilling someone's public toots should be as simple as following them from a remote instance, where data collection could occur

I have never used Peertube before but would love an ads-free alternative to my current medium of watching survival vlogs. Is that sort of content available there as well and how does one find it?
Emy love
