Dear Fedi friends,
I would love to start a #GratefulForYou hashtag, doing shout-outs to Fediverse people that one finds inspiring, enlightening, or just plain cool.
The online world can be a dark, overwhelming place and I just wanted to encourage others to shine a light on people who make a positive difference... to say, "I see you, I hear you and I value you."
Today my #GratefulForYou goes out to @sylvia@social.lol, whose creativity & positivity always uplift & inspire me ❤
️
Who are you grateful for?

ICYMI: earlier this week I wrote a blog post disclosing my tech stack… arguing that anyone who writes about technology should be transparent about the tools they use.
TL;DR: I’m doing well on the software front. Hardware? Not so much: 🍎

Well, a few hours after publishing it, Tim Cook’s latest capitulation to the Authoritarian-in-Chief made front page news everywhere.
I can safely say my next laptop will be from @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org

« In this age of #technofeudalism every writer who covers technology - especially resistance to #BigTech - should disclose their tech stack. Here's mine »

Basically, a love letter to #FOSS and the #Fediverse… with room for improvement (especially on the hardware front)

Dear Fedi friends,
By now you might have seen the post announcing the release of my promotional video for the Fediverse. But in case you have boosts turned off, here we go: https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/
I posted about it this morning from my #GoToSocial account because I have a 5000 character limit there. And I had so many people to thank for their help. It really takes a village.
Thank you for all the wonderful feedback so far ❤️
My profile's bio may need to be tweaked soon. I'm thinking of coming out of filmmaking retirement to make promotional videos for the #Fediverse.
I just rewatched a video I made years ago to criticize Big Tech and oh my goodness it's so tame when you consider the horrors we are facing today: https://vimeo.com/292544650
Images from Monday's spectacle (feat. Big Tech oligarchs) would be PERFECT as promotional material for the Fediverse.
Oh my, I'm so tempted to make a video. Talk me out of it 🙃
✨ The rebellion will be federated & self-hosted ✨
On Dec 5, 2024 I published this blog post https://elenarossini.com/2024/11/the-rebellion-will-be-federated/ on @ele@elenarossini.com
On Dec 17 I signed up for a #VPS.
On Dec 22 I installed #GoToSocial and began personalizing my little corner of the #Fediverse: @elena@aseachange.com
On Jan 14 I installed #Pixelfed on my server: @ele@photos.elenarossini.com
Yesterday I installed #LinkStack on https://elena.social
All this feels really empowering and I wanna help others do the same! 🚀
