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!
Just an hour left before we go look at a potenitional home to rent if we get picked 
We just really really hope they do since at this point the current situation is effecting our health even 
Don't think I ever wanted something more then move right now
@stux@mstdn.social best of luck!
#eli5 the #forkiverse stuff ... Please someone? I'm massively out of the loop on this one. 😂 😂

Got this in the mail today. I have no recollection of ordering a recreational stereoscope, but I’m intrigued.
@box464@mastodon.social how accurate is the picture to you? If it's close it might magic or a useful spy tool.
Also those are some crazy noodly arms.
I feel absolutely out of the loop. I know there's a mastodon server called the forkiverse, but what's the story behind it that I'm seeing so many folks mentioning it?

Do you think we need more independent,
fact-checked news? I think so.
Follow if you agree - and you can say you were here right from the start.

Hi all, excited to have entered the fediverse, here to provide any of your colonoscopic needs 😉 #introduction #newhere
@frankscott@theforkiverse.com welcome! I need a colonoscopy. Can I get that done over the internet?

Oh my. This is very fun, and just wonderful in a lot of ways. (It's much gentler and funnier than the preview makes it look)
The maker of this excellent video is also on Mastodon here: @bennjordan
@hollie@social.coop absolutely loved this video! Excited to see @bennjordan@mastodon.social here! VERY EXCITED! 😁 Such a great video. Thanks Benn! Keep up the amazing videos. If you ever wanna try Peertube, I have an instance, or I can recommend some or even help you set up your own. 😁

What in the fresh hell is going on with the economic numbers?
@jerry@infosec.exchange something smells REALLY not right man. I've read from some economists that NVidia is proping up a lot of the economy. One stated that once he removed the outliers and the Government firing/hiring stuff that the economy grew at 0.8% not the 4%.
ChatGPT:
Why this hasn’t happened yet
Because we skipped step 2 and 3.
The fediverse tried to:
Educate users first
Sell ideology
Expose complexity early
Mass systems do the opposite.
@mapache@hachyderm.io absolutely agree with this. People don't care about the underlying tech. They care about tech that fits a need. At the moment I'm attempting to find communities of people that are interested in investing in their own social communities.
