If folks would like links to anything as well, let me know. My primary goal isn't to have all the answers. it's to help folks find communities that fit them. 😊

No one can do everything. Together, we can do anything.

@cleanduck@mastodon.social @Mrfunkedude@beige.party @TheLegendOfThrill@mastodon.online my recommendation, find a project you enjoy. Find where they congregate. Learn the project. Be vocal in helping. Profit. I'm not a developer. But I've been working with the Bonfire group, just running it, asking questions, giving recommendations, reporting bugs. There are TONS of Fedi projects on Matrix.

I'd honestly LOVE to see people starting to play with and test drive Fedify, Emissary and Bonfire. Because those 3 are attempting to be a solid base that allows folks to build on top of it. They worry about the Fediverse part and you build whatever you want.

Fedify is a low level library essentially that Ghost is using to enable ActivityPub.

Emissary ( emissary.dev ) is trying to allow folks to build HTML and CSS on top of it. If you look at bandwagon.fm that's built on Emissary.

Bonfire is a more out of the box solution, but is highly extensible.

Again though, just running it, giving feedback seems to have been invaluable to those developers. I haven't run Fedify, but I have run Emissary and Bonfire, and Manyfold, and I just gave feedback and the devs seemed to REALLY appreciate it.

Hell I even started "Works On My Machine Live" where I install from the docs with the dev and folks seemed to learn a LOT from that. I only have a few episodes, hoping to do more in the future.

I also apologize to @zzepposs@chaos.social for missing their incredible donation as well during the livestream the other day! We're still working on alerts for donations, so I totally missed it.

Thnak you SO much for supporting me, @BTFree and Fireside Fedi.

And to @evan@cosocial.ca , folks LOVED the mustache. So another vote for that. 😊

Thank you so much to @naj@posteo.de for the generous donation during the livestream on Wednesay. I completely missed and I really apologize. Hoping to get audio alerts and things set up someday!

Thank you so much Squirrel for supporting @BTFree and Fireside Fedi! <3

@jandi@mastodon.social thank you so much!

You can find all the videos here: tubefree.org/c/firesidefedi/...

I have a playlist here, but I need to update it to include the latest folks: tubefree.org/my-library/vide...

If you're on Matrix, I have a matrix space folks recommend future guests. I also started a shared doc for folks to suggest people, though I haven't had anyone use it yet. Probably because I forgot about it. Lol.

Or just message here and @ the person so they know folks are interested as well and I'm not just soom random person asking. 😁

Really appreciate the kind words. It means more to me than just number go up. 😄 Started this to talk with folks, so it seriously means a lot to me.

@Xavier@infosec.exchange lol born in the '80's? 1980 for me. Maybe we're twins. If so, I'm so sorry. 😁

Just watched Star Trek TNG S3E10 The Defector. Love that Trek. Picard the strategist, but also doing eventing he can to prevent bloodshed.

I was a latch key kid. Never religious though I was raised Catholic. I've been told by friends, some very religious, that I have very strong moral code. I honestly often wonder if it was TNG that helped me build those beliefs. Not like I had anyone, but the crew of the Enterprise around to teach me. 😁

@TCMuffin@toot.wales he's incredible. Teaching science in such a fun and interesting way. But also showing that he's not perfect and has to iterate to get things right.

Just watched Mark Rober's #TED talk on engaging science in the classroom.

He's created Class Crunchlabs to engage students and make a teacher's job easier. All classes are FREE forever.

@fuzzface@epsilon-ix.masto.host I'm a big Trekkie. Grew up watching reruns of TOS and watched TNG as a kid when it released. Rewatching as an adult.

@quadrivial@beige.party my kids might enjoy it then as well.

@fuzzface@epsilon-ix.masto.host excellent point! Never thought if it that way. 😄 tY!

Yup. Still missing the mark with Young Frankenstein.

@argonaut@mastodon.social I'm only familiar with Nausica and Monoke. I'll check out the others as well tY!

@theeclecticdyslexic@mstdn.social yeah I think this is exactly it. I've watched a LOT of movies and I think you've named it exactly.
