@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.

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?

@BTFree 6 months ago

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!

Got this in the mail today. I have no recollection of ordering a recreational stereoscope, but I’m intrigued.

A cartoon of a geeky man looking through a stereoscope. This is what appears on the front of the envelope.

@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.

@ozoned 7 months ago

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?

BT Free

At BT Free we're attempting to create a Non-Profit organization that can run social web (aka Fediverse) platforms to allow people that do not want to run their own software to still be able to take advantage of digital privacy. We are advocates for the social web and we will leverage out platform to easily and quickly on board people on to the social web. Finally we know we can not run all content, so we are willing to consult on helping individuals or businesses to set up their own platforms to help them come into the social web. Check https://links.btfree.org for links to other socials including Fediverse, Bluesky, Matrix, Discord, etc.
