I've had a few folks asking if I'm going to have a presence on X/Facebook/Youtube/TikTok, etc aka "big tech". They have a point that I'm currently preaching to the choir and we should attempt to spread information as far and wide as possible, but Fireside Fedi (FsF) is about folks around the Fediverse, for folks around the Fediverse, powered by the Fediverse. So I'm not certain what to do. So I need folks help.

I'm also planning on doing videos about how to set up your own Peertube and platforms and how to reach out to folks about the fediverse. So it's possible that could be a completely separate account that does share across the other social platforms.

So I've thought of a few options. Please let me know your thoughts in the poll or if there's some other recommendations, please message me.

Thank you so much to @potterybyosa for joining me today on Fireside Fedi. It was so wonderful talking with Osa, learning about pottery and the outreach programs she does. I highly recommend checking out her beautiful pottery at potterybyosa.com .

FsF Post:

Good day all you wonderful folks.

I have been so honored by all of the folks I've spoken with and I'm humbled by such a positive reception.

I am currently speaking with a few folks about joining the show. One person mentioned that "they're not my normal interviewee". They're not a nerdy techy person that's building the Fediverse is how I took that.

I wanted to let everyone know, I don't plan on having any specific person on the show. I have said before and I'll continue to say, this show is about all of us on the Fediverse. I want you to share your opinions and experiences using the different platforms. I want to know and speak with absolutely all of you.

Tech folks get a lot of attention as they try to build he platforms of the future. But those platforms are built for ALL of us. The #fediverse is for the techies, the grandparents that want to stay in contact with their kids, the freedom fighters, the people that just want to feel a little less alone, the people just want a choice, the people sick and tired of conceding privacy to be a part of society.

You're all beautiful, you're all wonderful, and each and every single one of you has a unique story to tell.

I can't do everything. But together, we can do ANYTHING. WE CAN DO ANYTHING!

#weCanDoAnything #together #people #fedi

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

Tomorrow, May 23rd at 1000 Eastern / UTC-4, we are going to be speaking with @nikclayton with the @pachli project.

If you're not familiar with #Pachli it's a best-in-class #Android #client for #Mastodon .

Pachli is also a part of the @nivenly #foundation , who support and endorse open projects.

If you're not familiar with Pachli or #nivenlyfoundation you might be familiar with @hachyderm which is also a member of #nivenly !

So an absolutely amazing group of individuals!

As usual if you have any questions or friendly comments for Nik about Pachli or anything, please don't hesitate to toot @ me and we'll see if we can get them answered!

Friday May 23th - 1000 - @nikclayton with @pachli - Nik is a "gentleman programmer" that is the primary developer of #Pachli a "A full-featured Android Mastodon client, developed under cooperative principles." More clients, more choice, more innovation!

I'm already getting very excited for tonight! For those that don't know, I'm going to be talking with @pluralistic , Cory Doctorow, tonight on Fireside Fedi! If anyone has any questions feel free to message me here.

If you'd like to watch LIVE, please come and join us! If you don't know Cory, you should, but you probably know the term "enshitification" which Cory termed. As well as having many many other accolades.

Please share this out, not for my own fame, but I see these opportunities as ways to introduce new folks to the Fediverse and get excitement about it.

Everyone have a wonderful day!
