    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 Ça répète sans doute un peu ce que d’autres ont dit, mais pour moi un point très important est que ça n’appartient pas à un milliardaire, ni a personne, y’a une souveraineté sur nos données, à l’échelle désirée, et on peut bouger de l’une a l’autre sans trop trop de contraintes, donc on est pas coincé par l’effet réseau. Les implications sur la modérations sont complexes, mais saines, pas besoin de forcer tout le monde a avoir la même, on trouve où ça nous va.

      @_elena Le fait que ce soit plus européen est une bonne chose pour ceux qui en ont marre que le discours soit dominé par les américains (qui ne comprennent même pas la place qu’ils prennent), et a suivre un peu plus ce qu’il se passe chez nous. (À voir si ça marche aussi pour les autres non-américains).

      Les fonctionnalités comme suivre les hashtags et l’absence de publicité sont des "a coté" quand même très appréciables.

      Bonne chance pour la présentation!

          hi @_elena fingers crossed for your talk, here is a testimony in French (feel free to cut some parts if it's too long).

          « J'aime l'idéal que porte le Fédivers, d'un internet collaboratif, pensé et construit par et pour des humains. Différentes communautés (individus, institutions...) peuvent y créer des espaces où elles décident de leur objectifs et de leur fonctionnement, mais leurs membres peuvent aussi continuer d'interagir avec d'autres communautés au sein de cet écosystème plus large. »

                @_elena I've met a handful of people from here in person, just from finding local folks I have more things in common with than anyone I found on corporate social media. I've also met with friends from here who have visited my city. (mon français est terrible, je suis désolé)

                  @_elena My Fedi story changed my life. I've always had bad teeth. Over time I've had many pulled; been w/o molars on the bottom & 1 side of the top forever. Had to be careful eating focusing on soft foods to avoid choking. Gone to US dentists for implants & got 2 estimates at $60,000 US WITH insurance which I can't afford. 2 years ago, a Fedifriend posted: if you need high quality lowcost dentalcare let me know." She sent details & I've been going to Spain for my whole mouth for 1/4 the US cost.

                    @_elena It feels durable in a way that other platforms aren't - individual instances might go down, but the wider, federated whole continues without a blip.

                      @_elena What I like about the Fediverse is that there are real communities here in a way that there isn't and cannot be on websites where every bit of interaction with other humans, every who and what, is shaped by optimization to maximize some metric, like "engagement" or "ad views". It feels more natural here and more normal, and at the same time, messy, the edges haven't been filed off like they have off like they have off the experience of Consuming a continuous stream of content selected to keep you on a website as much as possible.

                      Most of the things that absolutely destroy peoples brains on social media sites are *just not a thing here*, which is healthy in a way that is genuinely difficult to explain to people who haven't tried it and don't remember this kind of thing.

                      Not that we don't still have problems (boy do we still have problems), but here, we can start working on fixing them. while on the corporate social media websites, everything just always gets worse, by design.

                          @_elena Pour nous ( @2bcompany ), c'est le moyen de donner une image plus vivante de nos activités (théâtre contemporain), sans passer par les réseaux commerciaux quittés début 25. Nos graphistes et webmestres (Atelier Poisson et Lionel Tardy à Lausanne) on pu (je crois relativement facilement), intégrer nos publications sur notre homepage 2bcompany.ch

                            @_elena pour moi le Fediverse c’est:
                            - une expérience bien supérieure aux autres reseaux: pas de pub, flux chronologique, accès facile aux news ; un réseau plus petit mais convivial avec des échanges intéressants; un concept honnête et clair qui me conduit à participer aux frais de serveurs de la communauté php; pas de défauts majeurs. J’espère juste que tu vas faire du bon boulot et que plein de gens vont arriver ici 🙂

                            @_elena et pour moi plus personnellement, c'est aussi de retrouver un réseau à l'ancienne, où l'on peut rencontrer (presque) réellement des gens, communiquer, échanger, sans se voir balancer des publications commerciales à tout bout de champ.

                                @_elena The ability to:

                                Filter my feed using keywords. Every platform needs this.

                                Cater my own feed to something meaningful and manageable instead of being at the whims of the slop algorithm.

                                The lack of ads and there being no incentives for them or any enshitification to be added in.

                                I can decide exactly what notifications I want or don't want, instead of having to choose between none or too many.

                                The privacy options are much stronger here than every other social media or content platform.

                                  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 pense savoir dans quel cadre tu interviens (l'annonce est publique sur... d'autres réseaux 😅) et je regrette infiniment ne pas pouvoir être disponible. Je me suis manifestée pour obtenir l'enregistrement.
                                  J'ai hâte, mais vraiment hâte de voir ta présentation !

                                      I left Twitter, expecting to find a similar experience on Mastodon. But what i found instead was community.

                                      I'm brought back to the ways of the old internet, where humans matter and interactions are not fueled by algorithms, but curiosity.

                                          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 🤗

                                          Je pourrais t'expliquer ce que c'est qu'un Brompton, mais je ne veux pas faire trop reply guy. 😅
