#DigitalSovereignty doesn't mean tech for sovereign nations, it means tech for sovereign people.

Tech in the hands of a European billionaire class is hardly any better than what we have now.

Free it up, give people control, open source it, decentralise it, remove choke points and gatekeepers, encrypt all the things, remove the #SurveillanceAds industry from the equation, enable #SelfHosting and #SmallTech. And then let's talk #GoEuropean.

I'm migrating to a self-hosted Activity Pub instance (Go To Social) , I'm not exactly sure on whether all the followers/follows would be migrated successfully.

In case I was following you, you might receive a notification that I followed you. I hope you'd approve it.

In case I don't follow you anymore, it must be a quirk with the migration and I will try to follow you if I see you in my feed.

Previous posts are gone, But overall I'm glad that now I have an instance under my control.

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 128 (a bit Clueless edition) 🎬​

Bonjour Fedi friends!

I'm having a really interesting week: 4 adult caretakers in a house with 3 little children... as I admitted to someone on here, self-hosting is FAR easier than being a referee in fights about LEGOs 😅​

Now, whenever the cousins are busy playing in the garden, I try to do a bit of work, namely: figuring out #PeerTube from the POV of a self-hoster.

Yesterday I finally understood how I could create a user account (other than "root" - the superuser created during the PeerTube installation).

Today I'm busy trying to solve another problem: how do you tell your followers you've moved to a new instance? Because yes, PeerTube is powered by #ActivityPub, but it doesn't support the MOVE function.

I rarely posted on my MakerTube account and only have 150 subscribers, who followed me when reading about it on my blog post about PeerTube.

But I have to admit, the whole "following" thing is really convoluted on PeerTube because you can follow an entire account or specific channels. And I'm a little lost regarding how I notify my followers about the change.

If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears!

Oh and some news for you first... here is my new PeerTube home: https://videos.elenarossini.com/a/ele/video-channels

Special thanks to ​
@yunohost
for empowering me to set up my own instance ❤️​
