“A new way to describe the Fediverse and its opposition to Big Tech”

https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-new-way-to-describe-the-fediverse-and-its-opposition-to-big-tech/

I think I may have finally found a way to explain the Fediverse and make it appealing to people not familiar with it - a very Italian, highly accessible way to frame it, via an analogy that anyone could understand.

A new way to describe the Fediverse and its opposition to Big Tech

I may have finally found a compelling, accessible way to describe the Fediverse - and make it appealing to people not familiar with it.

On the two year anniversary of joining #Mastodon I'm super proud to share:

The Fediverse has helped me regain control from the behavior modification empires of Big Tech. Now I want to help other people do the same.

Hello Fedi Friends!

This week I won’t be able to publish a new article for my series #TheFutureIsFederated – I’m traveling with family, moving on to a new location and I won’t have the luxury of grandparents helping out with my toddler 🥲

Next week I’m back with my family in Italy and I look forward to adding a new chapter to the series.

First I will write an addendum to the original Friendica post, showing things I didn’t have time to include (because that post took 12 minutes to read!) Expect this on or around August 22nd.

After that: #Lemmy will be in the spotlight. I’m currently testing out Lemmy and its integrations with the Fediverse… planning to publish a post about this topic on August 29th or 30th.

A HUGE thank you for all your kind words and support, I’m delighted to hear my series has been resonating with you 💗

The Future of Social is Here: a Show and Tell (part 3: Friendica)

A "show and tell" of my favorite features of Friendica, which has fast become my favorite place in the Fediverse

Hello Fedi Friends! I'm planning to cover #Friendica in the next issue of my newsletter #TheFutureIsFederated and I have a question for power users.

What is a feature you love, that you wish new users would know about right off the bat? Or something that is not widely known and that makes Friendica really special for you?

Personally I love being able to follow my favorite blogs via RSS integration...

I would really appreciate it if you could boost this ✨🙏✨

#Fediverse

I'm working on a new post for #TheFutureIsFederated that aims to show what interoperability looks like on the #Fediverse.

As I said before, it feels like ✨ magic ✨

I logged in @phanpy for the first time using my @pixelfed credentials and I used its incredible catch-up feature to see posts I had missed. Mind = blown 🤯 😍

Blog post coming by the end of the week, in the meantime you can read previous issues and subscribe here: https://blog.elenarossini.com/tag/fediverse/#post-list
