For French-speaking people 🇫🇷

Voici la rediffusion de l'événement qui s'est tenu au ministère de la Culture à Paris le 15 avril dernier – et qui revient sur les résultats de l'expérience de l'instance Mastodon accueillant diverses institutions culturelles:

Mon intervention commence à 1 h 05 🙈

Un immense merci à @nprofile1q... et @nprofile1q... de m'avoir invitée à prendre la parole à cette occasion. Ce fut un immense honneur 💙

You gotta love #phishing attempts targeting a self-hosted #GoToSocial account that start with "Dear Mastodon user..." 😂 (it was addressed to my @aseachange.com account)

Dear Fedi friends stay safe and beware of messages like this one...

#safety

A routine reminder that it's always a good idea to boycott #Substack.

We have long known that it platforms and profits from Nazi publications. And now: #manosphere influencers with multiple accusations of serious crimes... so much so that there is a dedicated Wikipedia page about them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_affairs_of_the_Tate_brothers

No problem for #Substack though! They happily take a 10% cut from all paid subscriptions.

There are many great alternatives to SS: Ghost, Buttondown, beehiiv, Patreon... no more excuses

#3GoodThings from yesterday

📡 I successfully carried out my first #mesh experiment - communicating with my friend @nprofile1q... in Germany... some 400km away!!! It only took 6 hops - including the iconic Jungfraujoch radio relay station

🍀 I found my second 4-leaf clover in a field near a bike track - when I took my little one biking

🐑 on our way home we stumbled upon a flock of sheep - it was fascinating to see a couple of adorable Border Collies in action herding them

Update: the Heltec v3 is here!!! 🥳

I'll keep you posted regarding my experiment with off-grid mesh communication.

And if you are intrigued about this world, there is a SUPERB documentary about it by @nprofile1q... on ARTE (thanks @nprofile1q... for the heads-up!)

#Mesh #Meshtastic

Yesterday I had the incredible opportunity of giving a presentation for the service numérique of the French Ministry of Culture, as part of their experiment with the Mastodon instance @nprofile1q...

My talk: "The Fediverse: the original promise of the internet"

It was super inspiring to listen to all the talks of the participants, from the @nprofile1q... to @nprofile1q.... And the results of the poll by @nprofile1q... were fascinating! I will write more soon. For now: THANK YOU for having me there ❤️

Good morning Fedi friends!

Today is the day of my big presentation advocating for the Fediverse in a very special place. I’ll be keeping this in my pocket - a heart hand sewn by my 5-year-old - as my good luck charm.

I love this online space so much and I hope I will represent it well 💖

Dear Fedi friends,

Next week I have the honor of doing a presentation advocating for the Fediverse in a really prestigious venue (I can't share more now, but I will after it takes place).

I'm currently working on slides and I would love to hear testimonies from YOU. Why the Fediverse is so special to you in contrast to Big Tech platforms (bonus points if you speak French & can reply en français).

I'll share a selection of your testimonies in my slideshow presentation.

Merci beaucoup ❤️
