    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 ❤️

    The Fediverse is a great place to learn about queer identities and anti-capitalism stuff that the super rich don’t want you to know about.

    Plus it’s a pretty solid dating app.

      @_elena Mastodon is unique because it doesn't sell me anything or prevent me from seeing what I've asked it to show me. If I see advertising, it's for real things, posted by their creators, who are people I have chosen to follow, or that they have chosen to follow. Mastodon lets me build trust with others in a way other platforms no longer do.

          @_elena what makes fedi special is that it helped me to move away from my big social addiction and showed me that a social media system without ads and algorithm is possible.

            @_elena I grew up with Web1.0, a free garden of oddities, trivia, useful bits of tech knowledge, weird and wonderful stuff, which was maybe limited by scant access, and tech-savvy required.

            Web2.0 ("AOL") created walled gardens, where sheeple were allowed to see and go only where corporate goons wanted them to. Web3.0 monetized and enshittified that.

            The #fediverse is Web1.0+, the freedom to access wonderful stuff, free of corps oversight... now with obscene broadband and storage/processing =D

              @_elena Le Fediverse est le dernier coin de tranquillité, imperméable au marketing dans un Internet rendu inhospitalier par les Big Tech.

              Ce sont nos potagers qu’on cultive et où on se détend entre voisins, là où le reste de la ville est pollué par les publicités et manipulations de Meta et consorts.

                La porte de la Fediverse, c'est une communauté bien à soi, que l'on peut s'approprier à sa façon et selon ses propres besoins sans en déléguer le contrôle à autrui, tout en restant connecté aux autres communautés et à leurs membres, dans le respect des valeurs et des besoins de chacunes et chacuns.

                  Nothing fancy, but here's my take.

                  I've been on the 'net since it was called Arpanet. When the commercial social networks first came around, I was already jaundiced enough that their future business model - advertising, surveillance, exploitation, extraction - was obvious and inescapable.

                  So I never signed up for any of them. No Facebook, Twitter, or even any of the early ones. Sometimes I knew I was missing out on something that others weren't, but the costs didn't outweigh the benefits.

                  When Fedi came around - decentralized, independent, non-commercial, ungovernable, cooperative - I finally knew I could join something "social".

                  I love it here.

                    @_elena the Fediverse allows me to choose what I will see (and why). It feels like a more natural way of social networking than the other platforms.

                      @_elena Le Fédivers, c'est le seul vrai réseau social. Ces deux mots sont importants. C'est un réseau parce que c'est décentralisé, il n'y a pas de point central (à la différence de Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, etc, où tout le monde se connecte au même site). C'est social parce que ça appartient à tout le monde et à personne, et surtout pas à une seule personne ou entreprise. C'est donc une place publique, pas un espace privé. De plus, le code est ouvert : tout le monde peut le lire et le modifier, et vérifier l'absence d'algorithmes de recommandations automatiques, de censure ou de mise en avant de certaines opinions. On ne lit que ce que l'on choisit de lire.
                      On entend parfois parler de tentatives d'interdire l'accès aux réseaux sociaux avant un certain âge, mais on se trompe de cible. Les problèmes qui y règnent ne sont pas intrinsèques aux réseaux sociaux, ils sont intrinsèques aux entreprises qui les détiennent. L'économie de la publicité et de la surveillance : c'est ça qui est à la source de la plupart des problèmes des plateformes appartenant aux big tech. Les gens resteront dépendants à ces plateformes (puisqu'elles sont conçues pour cela) quelque soit l'âge auquel ils les rejoignent. Au contraire, le Fédivers est la preuve que sans ces motivations sous-jacentes, Internet est un endroit bien plus agréable et fréquentable.

                        Tu étais la 1ère personne de Mastodon que j'ai rencontrée "en vrai", je venais d'arriver sur ce réseau 🤗

                        @_elena
                        J'ai retrouvé en Mastodon la raison pour laquelle j'aime internet depuis toute petite : l'internet qui rassemble et crée du lien.

                        Auparavant peu habituée à m'exprimer sur les réseaux, Mastodon m'a apporté de la force lors de mon 1er voyage à vélo solo.
                        Depuis, les échanges avec la communauté ont largement contribué à développer ma passion pour le vélo et continuent de me faire grandir. J'aime que les interactions y soient si simples et de voir certaines connexions se transformer en de vraies amitiés 🥹

                            It's hard m there's so much good to say about the fediverse...
