@ozoned@btfree.social sure, let's make it happen haha
@julian@activitypub.space hell yeah. Can I use the nodebb.org/contact page to reach you through email so we can discuss there as to a good time? 😊
I've NEVER installed a forum software, so I am VERY indimated. 😁 lol but I know with you there, I'll have a LOT of help. lol
@anca@mastodon.xyz if we do it and @ozoned@btfree.social can't hack it does it get published anyway 😝
@julian@activitypub.space oh ABSOLUTELY! I'm not against embarrassing myself if it draws attention to all the amazing folks and projects on the Fediverse.
But it's also educational for the audience as well as the developer. Because seeing how people interpret your docs can help understand how to refine them. And then the video could be used as a rough tutorial for installation if you don't have one.
And I will fall. Lol but I can ask the Dev for help and guidance and we talk about the project, etc.
But like fireside Fedi it's meant to be fun. 😄
Interested Julian?
@anca@mastodon.xyz I hope it's interesting! 😄
did an episode with @logan@social.logal.dev for his Owncast bot ( git.logal.dev/LogalDeveloper... )
and
@Floppy@mastodon.me.uk for @manyfold@3dp.chat ( manyfold.app/ ).
Coming up soon I hope to talk with @lefractal@mstdn.social and @mapache@hachyderm.io and @benpate@mastodon.social .

Fun thing I learned today at #FediForum. @ozoned runs a show called “It Works on My Machine” where app developers walk him through installing and running their thing, accompanied by fun banter.
That sounds like such a cool way to learn about new open source software.
Talking to @phillycodehound @ozoned @mayel @snarfed.org @jaz at FediForum.

YOU! Yes YOU reading this!
Thank you so much for spending your time and energy here.
Whether you are building the next great thing, talking with friends, creating a silly podcast, posting pictures of a dog, being a cat that hosts servers, or whatever.
YOU are making a difference. You are HERE. And we're all better off with YOU here.
So thank YOU!
I’ve said for a long time: the tech world likes to reinvent magic every few years. It can be exciting, but it’s also really dangerous when we wave the wand, tell people not to worry about things behind the curtain, instead of taking time to explain, and educate everyone. Transparency is key.
Magic can sometimes be very similar to snake oil.
(apropos of nothing specific, just *gestures wildly* you know, everything, right now; no exact point, just talking half-formed ideas into the ether)

Listening to @tommi bamboozle @ozoned with *gestures wildly* EVERYTHING. Such a joy! I’m learning so much this morning. https://tubefree.org/w/aAESq1Zco5vAFyuG83Y3Go
It was an absolutely pleasure to talk to @tommi@pan.rent. His energy is contagious. I love it. <3 Thank you @andypiper@macaw.social !
@andypiper @ozoned Aww 🌻
@tommi@pan.rent @andypiper@macaw.social I think if Tommi and I are ever in a room together we'll have to move all of the breakables, because we'd both be gesturing wildly everywhere. 😁

I was on a super-nice podcast called @firesidefedi with the brilliant @ozoned
I was talking about the No To Big Tech movement, and my career as a (reluctant) SEO consultant.
We covered a lot of stuff... some more radical than others... but hopefully someone enjoys it!
I love anyone who is working within the Fediverse space to support others trying to build this alternative to addictive Big Tech.
