Iβm giving up on Twitch and YouTube and going all in on Fediverse. You can find my live streams exclusively at https://tekeous.live - enable Fediverse follow or browser notifications to see when Iβm live.
This is powered by Owncast, hosted on my own hardware, and Iβm looking into adding Peertube.
#Introduction Hi #fediverse ! Weβre the European Southern Observatory, and we design, build and operate ground-based telescopes.
One of them is our Extremely Large Telescope, currently under construction in #Chile. It will have a 39 m mirror, and its rotating enclosure will weigh 6100 tonnes, or about 700 mastodons!
Weβre looking forward to chatting with all of you about #astronomy
I really enjoyed reading this @APC interview with @Pouhiou .
@peertube is an enormous undertaking. The team is very small, yet many of us post video and livestream on the #fediverse using Peertube.
I find myself in agreement with many of the points brought up in the interview about politics and the mechanics of community with how we appeal to the general public. Also that we need to listen to their needs.
Although a lot of people in the eXodus are moving to the (similarly) American capitalist #Bluesky, we on Todon.eu and Todon.nl are also growing. People being here (new or coming back) made the right choice. The #fediverse is currently the only federated non-commercial/non-capitalist social network, powered by the #ActivityPub protocol, a W3C open standard.
@xikufrancesc la de usuarios de mastodon que no saben que sus publicaciones salen en pleroma, friendica, GNUsocial, etc.. las redes que forman la red del fediverso como tu bien sabes y por eso le llaman mastodon, pues ahora imagina los usuarios nuevos que van a saber y comparan mastodon como si fuera lo mismo y no, mastodon forma parte del fediverse, hasta donde yo se las otras no, mastodon es una red mas del #fediverse, pa los que no lo sepan-
@lufertec Es que con lo de los algoritmos ya no sirve eso de hacerse un TL de inicio con lo que te gusta o los que sigues no no, ahora el algoritmo decide por uno y eso no, eso no pasa en el #fediverse, como no puede ser de otra forma.
We may not be the biggest by numbers yet, but Mastodon (and the fediverse) has proven itself to be an effective and reliable communications platform over the course of the last 8 years, and does not depend on venture capital to survive. The #fediverse is the future.
