<p>Hello World!<br><br>I just spoke with a <a href="/tags/us/" rel="tag">#US</a> <a href="/tags/senator/" rel="tag">#Senator</a> office about the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> . They're asking for more information to help spread around <a href="/tags/capital/" rel="tag">#Capital</a> <a href="/tags/hill/" rel="tag">#Hill</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="/tags/movie/" rel="tag">#movie</a> on the <a href="/tags/fedi/" rel="tag">#fedi</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"><span class="invisible">https://</span>fediverse.info/</a> and <a href="https://fedi.tips/" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>fedi.tips/</a> which are great websites. I figured I'd give them examples of amazing <a href="/tags/ap/" rel="tag">#AP</a> projects such as <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#mastodon</a> , <a href="/tags/pixelfed/" rel="tag">#pixelfed</a> , <a href="/tags/peertube/" rel="tag">#peertube</a> , <a href="/tags/bandwagon/" rel="tag">#bandwagon</a> , and <a href="/tags/bonfire/" rel="tag">#bonfire</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="/tags/boost/" rel="tag">#boost</a> <a href="/tags/boostplease/" rel="tag">#boostplease</a> <a href="/tags/government/" rel="tag">#government</a> <a href="/tags/laws/" rel="tag">#laws</a> <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#activityPub</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>
