Absolutely loved @cyberlyra talk on "Building A Social Movement Toward Alternatives". Addressed so many great ways to help "free" your family from being "captured" and slowly introducing folks to the #fediverse or #foss one thing at a time. You don't have to move the whole world at once.

Registered for the next @fediforum online UNConference in October! Hope to see you there.

Also just reviewed @cyberlyra 's talk from #fedicon #fedicon2025 last week - I highly recommend this one. It's not a product or demo talk or a how-to, it's a great WHY to on the topic of getting ourselves un-captured from corporate technopolies. August is #chuckZuck month, for those trying to exit the Meta properties.

Give it a listen.

Just an FYI: If you missed #FediCon, or just want to see the talks, they are being edited and uploaded to #PeerTube. There’s only three talks up so far, but I am helping @reiver to add more of them, and ensure that there are accurate captions and nice little thumbnails.

You can see a playlist of all #FediCon2025 talks, sorted in order, here: https://spectra.video/w/p/52g7HzMoUCxEm9nU339mPf

There's a typo in your link for the #fedicon2025 videos. It should be:

Final thoughts re: FediCon 2025

As I write this, I'm sitting on an airplane flying over the Canadian prairies on my way home from Vancouver, BC.

What an amazing group of individuals, who took the time out of their extraordinarily busy lives to see, hear, and learn about the fediverse! The connections made and ideas discussed were so important, and you could feel the energy in the air.

You'd think after a solid six hours a day in a lecture hall would be enough, but at every opportunity in between, there were lively discussions about ActivityPub and the fediverse. It turns out when you get all of us in a group together we can talk and continue to talk about the open social web for ages.

I now have a to-do list about a kilometer long, they all need to get done ASAP!

Thank you to @reiver@mastodon.social for organizing this conference, all of those who helped out and participated, and all those who attended.

From now on, whenever someone points a camera to me, I'll picture @jaz@toot.wales saying "say FEEEEEEDIVERSE".

#CoffeeWithCrissy s1e6 #FediCollective was born from #FediCon2025 The difference between Big Social (walled garden) vs. Fedi Garden (open web/Fedi) is about who's in charge.

In a walled garden (like big social platforms), one company owns the whole place. This means
1. You don't own your data. Your photos, your words, your ideas are used to make money for them
2. The rules can change at any time. The company decides what's right and what's wrong, and they can change the rules overnight
3. You feel like you're just a visitor. You're there to scroll, not to build

In the Fedi Garden, we have a different way of doing things. Here's what we believe
1. You own your data. Your content belongs to you. No one can track you or sell your info
2. The communities set the rules. Each small garden (or server) has its own rules, so you can find a community that feels safe and right for you
3. You are a co-creator. You are not just a user, you're a builder. You help create the culture and the space
