🎥 officially entering pre-production for my video series about the #Fediverse 🎬
THANK YOU for encouraging me to do this. It feels really energizing ❤️
I’m often thinking about this brilliant quote by filmmaker Ava DuVernay: “If your dream is only about you, it’s too small.”
My dream / lofty goal: for everyone to know about the #Fediverse and why / how to join it.
Striving to create an easy to follow, persuasive video explainer.
P.S.: I changed my bio 👀 (I’m no longer a “filmmaker on hiatus”)
Alt...
A screenshot showing how my profile appears in the app Ivory. Under my name Elena Rossini, there is this bio: director of The Illusionists documentary. Soon: a Fediverse video series. And then a letter emoji followed by the hashtag The Future is Federated
So it is decided. Yes, I will make promotional videos for the #Fediverse: explaining what it is, how to use various software... and setting it up in contrast to the current horrors of Meta and X.
Anger and frustration have been building up in me since November. This week has been a hell of a ride. I gotta channel all these negative feelings somewhere and turn them into something positive instead. Promoting the Fediverse and resuming making films seem like the perfect match...
Happy 7th anniversary of becoming an official W3C standard, ActivityPub!

We're creating something truly special here with the fediverse, and I am so thankful for everyone who contributes to it, whether with your time, money, or just by sharing your thoughts, your creations, your silly little jokes. Keep it up!
I created some #Mastodon inspired #DigitalArt using #OpenSource software - Krita.

This took me about 4 hours to create.

A vibrant, artistic depiction of an elephant serenely resting on an crescent moon-like arch. The elephant features bold shades of blue & purple, with intricate detailing in its ears & trunk. Surrounding the elephant is a crescent moon & decorative swirling vines add an ethereal quality. The background incorporates soft clouds & a hint of a circular shape that resembles a sun creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
I'm hoping to pull in more tech, retrocomputing, BSD stuff etc for my #snac instance.
Please boost this and thank you. ❤️
My profile's bio may need to be tweaked soon. I'm thinking of coming out of filmmaking retirement to make promotional videos for the #Fediverse.
I just rewatched a video I made years ago to criticize Big Tech and oh my goodness it's so tame when you consider the horrors we are facing today: https://vimeo.com/292544650
Images from Monday's spectacle (feat. Big Tech oligarchs) would be PERFECT as promotional material for the Fediverse.
Oh my, I'm so tempted to make a video. Talk me out of it 🙃
Good morning, friends of the #BSDCafe and the entire #Fediverse,
it's Wednesday, the day of the Sea. Let’s begin this new day by focusing on the beauty of nature, forgetting for a moment the problems of life and the world.
Because we are alive, now.

A breathtaking sunrise unfolds over the horizon, painting the sky with hues of soft gold, vibrant orange, and delicate pink. The calm sea mirrors the sky’s warmth, signaling the start of a new day. Silhouettes of palm trees stand gently against the morning light, while a quiet, distant structure anchors the scene. As the first light of dawn breaks through, it brings with it a sense of renewal and hope - a reminder that each new day holds the potential for growth, beauty, and the quiet peace that exists in the world despite everything.
My new relay instance in the #Fediverse launched successfully :)
Just added a blog post: As I could see, not everyone was aware of the benefits of using such a service which is especially very important for smaller instances or even single-user instances. So, nothing new in the post - just a recap to summarize the things for newcomers :) #activitypub #mastodon #snac #pleroma #social #socialmedia #community

Anyways. #Fediverse.
Very serious offer.
I will trade you all 137 years of my musical experiences, history AND insight as an educated Black Woman with too much historical knowledge of how America was before the nazis took over, and all the fun that comes with it if you just help me get out of Gilead.
Heavy lifting already done. Valid passport for 7 years. Familiar with visas. Willing and able to pull student visas. Need remote employment. If you have any leads or info. Please help. 🙃
wow, that was quick - more than 30 instances already connected to my relay in just such a short time :) Let's be federated and help even smaller #instances to distribute their content & posts!

Since people new to the Fediverse are joining lately, it's a good occasion to share again my tips for overcoming the empty timeline barrier by seeding and populating your Mastodon feeds in a world with no algorithms:
https://journal.paoloamoroso.com/how-i-populate-my-mastodon-feed
@TheGibson eh, isn't that the whole point of the #fediverse ? If you want private discussions there are other tools for that.
@thegibson Is any #SocialMedia really private? The #Fediverse does have the ability to connect to private messaging #Hubzilla

Hmmm was going to subscribe to https://fedi-
relay.gyptazy.com/ on my #snac server but there is one rule that even though I hardly post about might get my instance removed. It says "No political related content" but occasionally ( very rare ) I will boost a toot that I agree with to do with politics or make a random moan about our government but that too is rare. Mostly it's tech related and life. I totally agree with @gyptazy@gyptazy.com rules, it's just that politics that might catch me out ? So I guess I better go look for other relays like Intahnet.

Some of us are thinking of running some #Fediverse services catering to #India. I've run personal and small-group instances before (but never moderated on a larger scale 🫠)
Suggestions welcome, both for what to host and how!

There is something incredibly freeing about being able to like a post on Pixelfed without fear of screwing up your algorithm. I find myself just liking cool photos way more frequently now.
Pride about which country is purchasing surveillance of you from a social media business you are a user of underscores that you should solely participate in the #fediverse instead.

I just started my Fediverse relay service which is a powerful way to support smaller instances, especially single-user setups, by boosting their visibility and enabling them to connect more easily with the wider network.

✨ The rebellion will be federated & self-hosted ✨
On Dec 5, 2024 I published this blog post https://elenarossini.com/2024/11/the-rebellion-will-be-federated/ on @ele@elenarossini.com
On Dec 17 I signed up for a #VPS.
On Dec 22 I installed #GoToSocial and began personalizing my little corner of the #Fediverse: @elena
On Jan 14 I installed #Pixelfed on my server: @ele@photos.elenarossini.com
Yesterday I installed #LinkStack on https://elena.social
All this feels really empowering and I wanna help others do the same! 🚀

Wonderful piece! I'm trying to convince my most famous follows on this platform to set up their own instance on the fedi so am tagging them here.
Come on guys, free yourselves of corporate owned social media. Build and own your own site here.
@_elena @pixelfed @dansup @pfefferle @gotosocial @yunohost @phanpy happy new year!
I can't wait to hear more in 2025 as you continue your #fediverse adventures:)
I just went back and read your post on #Sharkey and have to say I'm considering setting up my own instance... That or #gotosocial but maybe I'll wait to read your upcoming conclusions.
I'm also using #yunohost and totally understand your gushing enthusiasm for being able to selfhost, what a time to be alive:). Thanks devs!!
The #BoxyBSD project is taking a pause from provisioning completely free #vps instances / #vserver. For further questions, reach out to @gyptazy or in our Matrix chat.
After publishing the new self-service portal and making it easier to use and get a free VPS instance, we got a lot more new users who requested an instance than usual. We’re not out of resources but we want to provide a great and reliable service and have a buffer for upcoming things.
We’re already restocking the resources and adding new nodes to the project but temporary stop provisioning new instances. In the meantime, we will provide new services that will make the overall experience for users much better and easier.
We already started this with the new #NAT64 gateways and the new free #loadbalancing service that allows you to serve your website also on #IPv4, even your box is #IPv6 only.
We’re addicted to the #BSD community and hope to provide your quickly more #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD and all the other bsd based systems again. In the meantime - have fun and #RUNBSD

Good morning Fedi friends! 🌞
On my to do list for today: finalizing / publishing a new article for #TheFutureIsFederated (a look back at 2024, plans for 2025) and... installing something else via #YunoHost: my own #LinkStack (for which I have the perfect URL)!

@hobbsc @notptr @Mrfunkedude we really need a "trending' feature in #peertube and a way to "boost" videos across the #fediverse
I imagine that @PixelFed's servers are getting overwhelmed by traffic these days.
I'm lucky to already have a pixelfed.social account. Still, in order not to add to @dansup's server load, I am taking the plunge:
this morning I'll try to set up my own #Pixelfed instance, thanks to the magic of #YunoHost (Pixelfed is in their list of apps).
I'll keep you posted on how it goes!
Good morning Fedi friends!
All eyes are on #Pixelfed this week, as #Meta censored all mentions and links to it.
Last year I wrote about the superb interoperability between Pixelfed and #Mastodon - it was one of my first articles for #TheFutureIsFederated, which inspired me to try out more #Fediverse projects.
If you have friends who are curious about the Fediverse and @pixelfed you could share this: https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-is-here-a-show-and-tell-part-1-mastodon-pixelfed-2/

The people should own the town square https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/01/the-people-should-own-the-town-square/ #Mastodon #Fediverse
alright, I'm seeing renewed interest in #pixelfed so I figured I'd explain the #fediverse in a way that makes sense to people. with pictures. sit back, it'll be interesting, I promise! 🧵
(note that this isn't about bluesky. they're built different and I don't know enough about how they work)

THE FEDIVERSE (explained with crudely drawn people)
This whole blog series by @_elena on The Future is Federated is great - accessible, friendly, and broken into digestible posts. Stayed up too late reading it. It's that good.
Her description of Friendica opened my eyes - what if: social media was about what you want and need, instead of making $ off you? 🤯
I continue to climb the learning curve re #fediverse
https://blog.elenarossini.com/the-future-of-social-is-here-a-show-and-tell-part-3-friendica/
Are there any Mastodon web apps that support using multiple accounts at the same time _over the same instance_?
TIL that on #Meta platforms now one can write terrible, offensive slurs against LGBTQIA+ folks and immigrants… with zero repercussions. But the second one mentions a #Fediverse project like #Pixelfed, the post is automatically removed.
Meta “moderation” policies in 2025: racism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia and sexism are allowed; mention of competition is strictly forbidden.
#Blog questions challenge answers! Thanks to @adamsdesk for the mention!
I would like to see the answers of @jedda, @alexandra, @zerok, @brianb, and @johnnydecimal
