As I posted recently, the continued growth of mastodon.social is putting the in danger (here's why: fedi.tips/its-a-really-bad-ide).

The quickest, easiest and most effective way to solve this would be if the official apps stopped promoting mastodon.social, and instead promoted a rotating selection from a pool of reliable servers with solid track records.

If you're comfortable using Github, please give thumbs up to both these issues:

            Now they've launched Social 1 .0 & are busy working on Bonfire Open Science Network. These apps share code, but the focus of each ‘flavor’ of Bonfire is slightly different. If you have the opportunity to support them, it would be greatly appreciated!

                    Pretty excited by @bonfire, especially by the Open Science flavor (see openscience.network). The project in general also seems to be well thought out, in terms of roadmap or governance (putting maintenance first in the roadmap and making it strongly visible = 👏).

                    Congrats to the team for the release and good luck for the next steps!

                                        Dear Fedi friends,

                                        I'm really proud to share with you a video I made: "Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media" https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/

                                        In this 4-minute video I explain what the #fediverse is to people not familiar with it, mentioning some of its great features and benefits (interoperability, no ads, no surveillance...) and I set it in contrast to the world of Big Tech social platforms. I argue that, with the rise of Big Tech oligarchs and the current political climate, there has never been a better time to join the fediverse.

                                        I hope you will enjoy this video and that you will find it useful (maybe as a tool to introduce your friends, family, colleagues, school administrators, local government officials to it).

                                        The fediverse has truly changed my life, making me a better, more empowered digital citizen. I am endlessly grateful for it, so this is my contribution to the cause ❤️

                                        I am also incredibly thankful for the work of @samaaberg and @patel.riyen who helped me bring my vision to life with their amazing cinematography skills and their assistance throughout the process, providing brilliant feedback to the script / edits from the POV of fedi newbies.

                                        And I was also moved by the generous help of people of the Fediverse who volunteered to translate the script into many foreign languages: @jan @fritjof @erikkemp @sknob @severin @clabru @tarcisiosurdi @hongminhee @danielcasanueva @ainali @nacly

                                        Lastly, I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to premiere the video last week at #FediForum - thank you @j12t and @anca

                                        The video is up on my self-hosted PeerTube instance (thank you @yunohost) and for now it is unlisted as I have no idea how my VPS will hold up. I also included an alternate location in the blog post.

                                        I hope you'll enjoy it! It's been a real labor of love (a month of full time work on it)... I see it as my love letter to the fediverse 💌

                                          Just a little bit frustrating to read people saying "the Fediverse should have starter packs" when I've spent the last four+ years hand-curating recommended accounts to follow on @FediFollows and fedi.directory

                                          I'm not the only person doing this kind of initiative, the Trunk directory (communitywiki.org/trunk) was the first, and the Fediverse.info directory by @dansup (fediverse.info/explore/people) is an automated way for people to add themselves to suggested lists.

                                          We already have these things on the Fedi, people just need to ask around and discover them, and let their friends know about them.
