@BTFree your message says "move to Twitch". You should probably edit if you don't want people getting the wrong idea about your intentions.
@siv@mastodon.praxis.red editted. Good suggestion. TY.

I meant FROM Twitch. What tools do people use on Twitch that don't exist in the Fediverse?
@BTFree Twitch *is* Big Tech. Why would I want to help migrate people to it?!

@badnetmask @ozoned when you're invited to do a TEDx talk or TED talk they assign you a professional speaker coach. That's what they did for me. She wrote the book on TED talks https://catheyarmillas.com/ and my talk is at https://www.hanselman.com/
@shanselman@hachyderm.io @badnetmask@hachyderm.io how do you get invited? I've put in a form indicating I'm interested. But I'm guessing it's kind of a lottery or something that just grabs them from your proposal.
@elettrona@poliversity.it I am so sorry for your loss. THat sounds like an amazing person.
@elettrona@poliversity.it How did you get your foot in the door to do a talk? Did you just sign up and fill out a form and they picked you?

@ozoned I know a few people who have done TEDx talks… and one who did a TEDTalk… but we lost contact. From discussions we had, if I remember correctly, once a speaker gets the green light, the TED organization trains them (for months even!) about how to do a presentation.
In terms of topics that interest them, the people I knew who got selected had of course merit but also somewhat knew organizers or had someone in their network helping them - it may be about who you know
@elena@aseachange.com I have no merit and IDK anyone. lol but I'm going to try at least. 😁

Has anyone ever given a #TED talk that could mentor me? I'd like to know how to submit a presentation that actually interests them, how to do the presentation, and what comes after.

@autumn@triangletoot.party that's amazing. I can't even get my dog not to pull on a leash and yours can do chores.

There are amazing developers creating the platforms today to allow others to join the open social web tomorrow.
A lot of these platforms though have tools built around them that everyday folks rely on. Streamelements, nightbot, etc.
What are some tools/features/expectations YOU have from standard big tech that doesn't exist today?
Calling on all free and open source developers.
We need recommendations for current platforms that exist to support Owncast streamers via bots, tips, etc that can help people convert from Big Tech platforms and easily move away from platforms such as Twitch.
I'm guessing they don't exist ATM, but I'm willing to start a platform if folks know tools we can use. Such as easily running bot commands in chat.
I know Le Fractal as emojiwall.
What else exists?
What features would YOU need to make your conversion to Owncast or Peertube easier?

Mastodon return step one is turning on Advanced view and pinning the local timeline.
I feel there has to be a better UX design that keeps a simple default view but highlights the Local Timeline, given it's a unique feature the fediverse has over closed platforms.
@tchambers@indieweb.social @zoneghost@theforkiverse.com this is the way. Take your community and build YOUR social network around it. Awesome to see it in action.
And the really cool part. We all flow in and out of communities. You can take your digital self with you to a new community or even your own!
