Im Steuergelder verballern scheint Jens Spahn besonders gut zu sein: 3,1 Mrd. € hat er während seiner Zeit als Gesundheitsminister rausgehauen – völlig sinnlos sagt jetzt der Bundesrechungshof. Wir leaken den Bericht und starten ganz offiziell in die Jens-Spahn-Mottowoche: https://fragdenstaat.de/artikel/spahn-brh/

Dear Fedi friends,

I'm really proud to share with you a video I made: "Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media" https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/

In this 4-minute video I explain what the #fediverse is to people not familiar with it, mentioning some of its great features and benefits (interoperability, no ads, no surveillance...) and I set it in contrast to the world of Big Tech social platforms. I argue that, with the rise of Big Tech oligarchs and the current political climate, there has never been a better time to join the fediverse.

I hope you will enjoy this video and that you will find it useful (maybe as a tool to introduce your friends, family, colleagues, school administrators, local government officials to it).

The fediverse has truly changed my life, making me a better, more empowered digital citizen. I am endlessly grateful for it, so this is my contribution to the cause ❤️

I am also incredibly thankful for the work of @samaaberg and @patel.riyen who helped me bring my vision to life with their amazing cinematography skills and their assistance throughout the process, providing brilliant feedback to the script / edits from the POV of fedi newbies.

And I was also moved by the generous help of people of the Fediverse who volunteered to translate the script into many foreign languages: @jan @fritjof @erikkemp @sknob @severin @clabru @tarcisiosurdi @hongminhee @danielcasanueva @ainali @nacly

Lastly, I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to premiere the video last week at #FediForum - thank you @j12t and @anca

The video is up on my self-hosted PeerTube instance (thank you @yunohost) and for now it is unlisted as I have no idea how my VPS will hold up. I also included an alternate location in the blog post.

I hope you'll enjoy it! It's been a real labor of love (a month of full time work on it)... I see it as my love letter to the fediverse 💌

Edit/update: THANK YOU for all the people who volunteered to have their avatar show up in the last shot. There were 750+ submissions and only 135 spots - sorry I couldn't include everyone 🥲

They say it's probably safe to keep orbiting for a while, but if it stays on or starts flashing we might have to call someone.

Denkt dran: Es läuft von Rechts eine großangelegte Kampagne gegen die Zivilgesellschaft. Jeder Skandal, ob erfunden oder aufgebauscht, dient dazu, sie finanziell auszutrocknen. Hinter Rechten stecken mächtige Konzerne & Milliardäre. Ihren Gegnern den Geldhahn abdrehen ist der Weg zur Machtergreifung

Interne Masken-Ermittlung belastet Jens #Spahn, berichtet die FAZ. Der bei der Beschaffung von Corona-Masken entstandene Schaden für Steuerzahler:innen liegt vermutlich viel höher als angenommen. Spahn, heute Unionsfraktionschef, wollte sich nicht äußern.
