While I am on the road for #acs26 and doing post-event stuff for #btconf in parallel, I also started working on the videos. 🤪 Here is the first one with Kimya Gandhi and “The Act of Pressing a Key: The Journey of a Letterform on to Your Screen” https://youtu.be/jSBoXCsCyNI

@btconf It’s really a challenge these days – especially with the community’s fragmentation… I’d say YouTube is where also the younger people are very active(ly watching). And they also use LinkedIn. Bluesky – is there a friends of #btconf starter pack? – and Mastodon for the (older? sorry!) more tech-savvy audience. And maybe something like Discord or reddit as well? But that would probably only work with a lot of engagement in various servers/channels… 🤔
Nearly 60% of people who come to #btconf come by recommendation. That is wonderful! On the other hand I ask myself how and if I should get more visibility on any platform that addresses new attendees also. And which one these are?!
@matuzo … and sadly it is also not really good for what it costs. Plus when I signed up a couple of years ago to host meetups next to #btconf, they deleted my account and said, I won’t run meetups 🤷‍♂️
This happens if you invite @andremichelle to #btconf and he wants to live-demo #openDAW … (attention: includes @bastianallgeier rocking the stage) … https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX8-VL7g9In/?igsh=MTh5ZW00NG1oM3c2cw==

While my social battery is still recharging from #btconf (it was amazing) I got inspired by watching the #2mr livestream to improve on my little Mastodon plugin for @getkirby. Version 2.0 is no longer just for showing replies but also boosts, favourites, and posting directly from the Panel:

This is my (for now) last #btconf post, promise — or at least that’s the plan.

I just want to say a few more words about @marcthiele.

As a visitor of the #BeyondTellerrand, it becomes pretty obvious very quickly: you don’t do something like this to make money. Marc’s on a mission. With a surprising level of selflessness, he brings people together and gets them talking.
