    Dear Fedi friends,

    Next week I have the honor of doing a presentation advocating for the Fediverse in a really prestigious venue (I can't share more now, but I will after it takes place).

    I'm currently working on slides and I would love to hear testimonies from YOU. Why the Fediverse is so special to you in contrast to Big Tech platforms (bonus points if you speak French & can reply en français).

    I'll share a selection of your testimonies in my slideshow presentation.

    Merci beaucoup ❤️

      @_elena Le protocole « Activity Pub » permet de dépasser les limites des différents services et plateformes. C'est ce qu'il y a de plus génial dans le Fediverse.

        Car le problème majeur auquel le monde est confronté aujourd'hui réside précisément dans la manière dont les médias — qu'ils soient sociaux ou traditionnels — se mettent désormais au service d'un axe politique alliant ploutocratie et intolérance.

          @_elena and on the puritan tangent - our bodies are not automatically considered offensive, even if there is an agreed upon decorum to use content warnings if you want to display it and I don’t want to be a spectator

            @_elena Fediverse allows me to select/follow/ignore what I want, 24/7. This syncs up with how I navigate the rest of the universe, which is the only algorithm I care about.

              @_elena this instance has been a huge boon to my social and mental health. finding local, niche, topical instances enables busy adults to find friends and socialize in ways that aren't easy on conventional social media

                  @_elena il y a quelques années, j’ai “jeté une bouteille à la mer” pour essayer de trouver une location longue durée de vélo à Paris. Je ne voulais pas utiliser de velib pendant tout mon séjour.

                  Quelqu’un sur le fedi a lu mon message et m’a prêté son vélo pendant tout mon séjour ! C’était super. Ça m’a permis de découvrir un nouveau Paris, de rester en surface, de rencontrer un voisin qui m’ai aidé pour le garer la nuit.

                        @_elena le fédiverse c'est le premier/seul réseau social où j'ai pas honte de poster (enfin juste ce qu'il faut car ça reste un peu exhibitionniste) et aussi on est suffisamment peu nombreux pour pouvoir rencontrer les gens et se faire des nouveaux amis, c'est juste un bonus qui enrichit ma vie sans voler mon attention au détriment de tout le reste, ça me convient parfaitement ! j'aime aussi l'aspect "bulle" / safe space / echo chamber car ça donne de la force pour affronter l'extérieur

                          @_elena there is no better place for DIY ambiance. People don't just cheer good quality work, but the attitude, the wish to make art, fix things or just be a bit more self sufficient. It's optimistic and encouraging!

                              My French is beyond bad so in English:

                              The Fediverse allows me to connect to others how I always wanted to - on my own terms, in chronological order, without A/B testing, algorithms, adverts or biases from unpleasant CEOs being thrust upon me.

                              I have been extremely online since 1998 and have many treasured friends made via the internet from the pre-Big-Tech days, and now I'm able to make friends in the same way again.

                                @_elena Salut Elena!
                                J’adore le fediverse parce-que ça ressemble un peu le village mondial parfait. On parle avec tout le 🌍 , de tous les sujets- mais toujours d’une manière amicale et respectueuse.

                                Je me suis intégré l’année passée, je suis ici presque tous les jours- et je n’ai vu aucun post insultant. Sauf deux occasions, quand les modérateurs les ont publié pour expliquer l’exclusion de l’auteur de Mastodon.

                                Et presque tout le 🌍 contribue des choses productives - c’est bienfaisant. Thx😉

                                  @_elena The fediverse is beautiful because unlike its for-profit counterparts, it's not made to maximise profits, nor is it made to maximise engagement, and it's not even made to maximise views. It is made to create communities, and facilitate communication inside and between those communities.

                                    Dear Fedi friends,

                                    Next week I have the honor of doing a presentation advocating for the Fediverse in a really prestigious venue (I can't share more now, but I will after it takes place).

                                    I'm currently working on slides and I would love to hear testimonies from YOU. Why the Fediverse is so special to you in contrast to Big Tech platforms (bonus points if you speak French & can reply en français).

                                    I'll share a selection of your testimonies in my slideshow presentation.

                                    Merci beaucoup ❤️

                                    @_elena je peux décider quelles personnes et quels sujets je veux suivre, sans qu'un algorithme décide pour moi et sans contenus sponsorisés. Je ne suis plus dépendant des sautes d'humeur d'un milliardaire, et si jamais un jour l'administrateurice de Framapiaf devait péter les plombs, je pourrais facilement porter mon compte sur une autre instance.

                                      Je ne suis pas une accro des RS et mon principal objectif est d'y trouver une source d'information différente des médias mainstream.
                                      Mais depuis les qq années que je suis sur Mastodon, j'ai appris sur énormément de sujets comme le vege/veganisme, l'identité queer et trans, le validisme, l'anarchisme,... (ça fait cliché mais c'est la réalité. Ceci dit, je ne sais toujours pas ce qu'est un Brompton ^^)
                                      Les questions respectueuses reçoivent quasiment toujours des réponses ou des "boosts", il y a de l'entraide possible.
                                      Et sinon, on peut juste échanger des jolies photos qui font du bien ou des petites vannes rigolotes qui font passer le temps 🤗

                                        I like the freedom & ability to chose a homeserver for a federated platform, also self hosting is 😄 .

                                          Why I'm not on Facebook, whilst everyone else seems to be, and prefer the Fediverse:

                                          - I'm annoyed by the amount of advertising, which don't exist
                                          - In the Fedi the Moderation is dar superior to Facebook
                                          - I find my people in the Fedi, but not on Facebook (Facebook is somehow dead in my nieche.)
                                          - I feel much safer to speak in the Fedi than on Facebook. There is some toxic culture at facebook
                                          - The Fedi has no algorithm, which amplifies only, what brings engagement, which are mostly toxic things
                                          - Instead at the Fedi is much more genuine engagement even for positive and more rational things.
                                          - The Fedi is open to connect to the whole World wide web by open standards, no walled garden. A Link to something outside the Fedi isn't a crime unlike Facebook.
                                          - In the Fedi no interesting post suddenly disappear just because you got disturbed by something. It is a huge annoyance with Facebook.
                                          - If you post something in the Fedi and ask something, you get serious

                                          answers, not this superficial nonsense focused on someones public image.
                                          - Meta makes it too easy for scammers and betrayers to get away with it, without true help from their support, whilst in the Fedi the community stops scammers quite quickly. In the Fedi you can trust an account much more to be authentic than on Facebook, without the same privacy infringements Facebook imposes.

                                          So why I prefer the Fedi over Facebook? I'm fed up with the dark Patterns and the toxic culture Facebook supports, whilst not finding something and someone of Interest and looked for a place of genuine connection without all these unnerving things. You depend on the benevolence of Meta, Facebooks Parent company. The Fedi is not owned by a single company. I have much more agency, a real community, where I feel welcome, more like a real network.

                                          So I ask you back: Why are you still on Facebook? Social Pressure? Some Organizations and companys, who made it their only means of public relations? Is it @_elena
