Good morning Fedi friends!

Now that my Fedi promo video is out and I'm no longer spending 7 hours a day doing motion graphics, I have time to pick up again writing for the blog #TheFutureIsFederated.

🔗: https://news.elenarossini.com/tag/the-future-is-federated/

This morning I will create a roadmap for the rest of the summer. There is so much I have yet to explore and write about.

At the top of my list: trying out #BookWyrm and the #Friends plugin for #wordpress

Any other requests? 👀

Wishing everyone a great day! 🌞

Salut Elena!

Have you discussed the potential role of the Fediverse in aiding citizen science projects?

As an amateur astronomer, my bias is toward the skies, but there are plenty of other citizen science projects to choose from.

@_elena have a look at https://neodb.net/ it will let you review books, movies, TV, music and podcasts. You can also set up lists of things to watch / read.

@_elena I stumbled across Lemmy. Not sure yet what that is good for but might be another interesting development?

@_elena Great idea, BookWyrm could use a boost so you writing about it will definitely help.

@_elena It's maybe been covered before, but how do we make fedi more... accessible?

Most of the people I knew from twitter went to bsky. Things (women in a large degree) they said about fedi was: difficult onboarding, cleaner/better interfaces, policing from not using TW on just about everything, too many techbros, fear of instances just shutting down, being at the mercy of a private person.

@_elena I've been told about https://hardcover.app/, it's not federated but I hope it may one day be. It'll be interesting to contrast bookwyrm with hardcover as alternatives to goodread.

@_elena tell me how you go with the friends plugin. My experience has been mixed, but that was about a year ago.
