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 here you go:

Best social network money can't buy.

And:

Fediverse proves that if nobody is tipping the scales to artificially boost "engagement", toxic people end up being blocked. Mainstream social media toxicity is not inevitable, it's a business decision, a choice. And Fediverse chooses not to have any of it.

@rysiek @_elena Unfortunately this works 2+ ways or is multi-reasoned.

So the same good kind of blocking etc can be part of the similar culture of not going deep / teaching anyone / seeing others as your own (or as part of humanity) / work in progress etc...

Something positive in communication and not just fleeting (which counts) but something deeper / more frequently developed as humans.

Any thoughts on that?

@rysiek @_elena

I'm against the obvious #spam or #Nazism etc but I mean the #normal people are too sterile / not active (other than #job) and not able any longer to really be flexible / see past comments... too clean / doesn't grow the us (non-techies) as imperfect / human as we are.

Know what I mean?

Many kinds of #Truth to understand.
