    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 ❤️

    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.

            @psoul c'était moi et c'est mon vélo 🥹
            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 🥹

                @_elena Le Fédivers construit des ponts — entre les humains. Ici, je ne suis ni un utilisateur, ni un point de données, ni une cible marketing. Je suis simplement moi. Et le Fédivers n’a pas été conçu pour le profit, mais pour nous.

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