       There's a recent video by @paigesaunders about why people should join Mastodon and the Fediverse.It takes a VERY different approach to other vids you may have seen.It's, um... very straight-talking with some strong language 😱 and  written by someone who found Mastodon too confusing. This is possibly video's strength though, as it may reach people that others cannot.Anyway, see what you think, and if you know someone who might find it useful share it with them:➡️ https://urbanists.video/w/aaf9d24b-d537-423e-aa87-5dc34da79fc2

       @feditips @paigesaundersI subscribed to his peertube channel from my mastodon account, which is a thing you can do with ActivityPub.  You can't do that with X. I don't know about BlueSky or Threads, but I doubt it works there either.https://urbanists.video/c/paige_saunders/videos

       @bruce @paigesaunders BlueSky and Threads do not (yet?) federate with anyone, despite all the pre-launch hype they had about doing so. They are both conventional centralised social networks owned by billionaires.The "other server" option on BlueSky doesn't do anything, you are forced to sign up on BlueSky's only server.

       @feditips @paigesaunders I ultimately dig that this is done in a way that’s more tonally diverse (this kind of video sure appeals to a different crowd than most I’ve seen), but I wish the advice wasn’t to just sign up for mastodon.social. I feel like if that continues to get bigger they’re going to have the same kind of moderation and content problems that traditional, non-fedi socials have.

       @guitargabe @feditips @paigesaunders "I don't know which server to sign up on" is the very first "WTF this is confusing" that potential Mastodoners face.If you have better, less confusing advice, than "just use mastodon.social", please share it.

       @jztusk @guitargabe @paigesaunders Suggesting a server at signup is fine! 👍 The only danger is if it's always the same server being suggested, and if it's the largest server being suggested.If they could rotate the suggested server occasionally, from a pool of reliable servers with good track records stretching back years, that would do a lot to protect the Fediverse without complicating things for new people.

       @jztusk @guitargabe @paigesaunders The danger of everyone being on one server, is that it then becomes extremely easy for some rich nasty person to buy the server and take over the network.If we're spread out on multiple servers, that's a lot harder for anyone to take over, and the network would stay in the hands of the community.
