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 ❤️

@_elena oh very very good luck to you! you will ace this. I've seen you present and you're so clear and confident. they are lucky to have you.

(in my terrible French my testimony is that aux autres résaux sociaux je lis, je vois des choses, de temps en temps j'écrit. c'est bon mais ce ne change rien dans ma vie. chez mastodon j'APPRENDS. quand je le ferme j'ai appris des novelles choses et vu des liens nouveaux entre les choses que j'ai su.)

@mariafarrell thank you Maria, it means so much coming from you ❤️ and I completely agree with you re: learning here.

I once replied to someone (toot gone bc of autodelete sadly): "14 years on Big Tech platforms and I learned nothing. 4 years on the Fediverse and I feel like MacGyver" 😆

@_elena ha! that is a fantastic quote! you go girl. x
