Huge shoutout to @elena for that incredible explainer video - it perfectly captures why we're building a better, people focused social web for everyone 🌟

Share it far and wide! The fediverse needs more voices like ours.

I like the video, great work @elena

but about the the interoperation - there is a big #pixelfed bug @dansup - which really should be fixed.

Please have at least a look for the bug report what do you think about it.

@elena - is this video available on peertube?
I would love to add it to https://punx.social but would prefer if it's not on YT

@joergi @pixelfed @elena That would put the costs of hosting/bandwidth on her, rather than YouTube.

This is geared towards newcomers, I used the privacy friendly YT embed option, this is the best compromise IMO

@elena regarding the post from @dansup - if we want to use the video too on our https://punx.social (an introduction to the fediverse to the punk scene...) is it okay to use your peertube one? or is it okay to host it ourself on peertube.net? (or do you mind uploading it yourself there?)
