BT Free<p>Hello World!<br><br>I just spoke with a <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/us" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>US</span></a> <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/senator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Senator</span></a> office about the <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a> . They're asking for more information to help spread around <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/capital" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Capital</span></a> <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/hill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hill</span></a> in small bite sized easy to understand pieces. I'm obviously going to give them <span class="h-card"><a href="https://aseachange.com/@elena" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>elena</span></a></span> beautiful <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/movie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>movie</span></a> on the <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/fedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fedi</span></a> (with some light editing which she's agreed to).<br><br>I'll of course show them <a href="https://fediverse.info/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://fediverse.info/</a> and <a href="https://fedi.tips/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://fedi.tips/</a> which are great websites. I figured I'd give them examples of amazing <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/ap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AP</span></a> projects such as <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mastodon</span></a> , <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pixelfed</span></a> , <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/peertube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peertube</span></a> , <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/bandwagon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bandwagon</span></a> , and <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/bonfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bonfire</span></a> ; even things like <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedimeteo.com/fedi/admin" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>admin</span></a></span> .<br><br>I'd love to know from folks any EASY to understand projects that best encompass the Fediverse and explanations of it.<br><br>What are some projects you'd hand to your friends and family that would explain and display to them what we are?<br><br>I'll say this isn't going to happen over night. There's lot of questions around regulations, trust & safety, etc. But I feel it's pertinent to at least get the conversation going, especially considering the current state of disdain for big social media and the impending legislation around these things.<br><br>I'll finally state if there's anyone in this list that does NOT want to be involved with this, that's totally fine and I understand and I can exclude you from the materials I give to them.<br><br><a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/boost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boost</span></a> <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/boostplease" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>boostplease</span></a> <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/government" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>government</span></a> <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/laws" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>laws</span></a> <a href="https://social.btfree.org/tags/activitypub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activityPub</span></a><br><br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@benpate" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>benpate</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://framapiaf.org/@peertube" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>peertube</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://indieweb.social/@bonfire" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bonfire</span></a></span><br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>stefano</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dansup" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>dansup</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Mastodon</span></a></span></p>
