A video celebrating the Fediverse - available in English, français & italiano
Dear all,
By now you may have already watched
my video that celebrates the Fediverse and introduces it to people not familiar with it.
I published the English-language version to my
self-hosted PeerTube instance on June 10th:
Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social MediaThis video is a colorful introduction to the Fediverse, guided by filmmaker & Fediverse advocate Elena Rossini. Watch now to discover a whole new world of social media, one where privacy is res…

Then, encouraged by my wonderful interns
Sam Aaberg and
Riyen Patel, I also published it on
YouTube, so that it could reach a wider audience – and, this is key: people not familiar with the Fediverse.
The original version of the video features an English-language narration - by yours truly - along with
subtitles in English, Catalan, traditional Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Spanish and Swedish - done by wonderful Fediverse volunteers (
full credits here).
One of the perks of speaking multiple languages is that I was able to do the voice-over narration for the video in
French:
🇫🇷 Découvrez le fédivers : une nouvelle ère pour les réseaux sociauxCette vidéo est une présentation haute en couleur du fédivers, guidée par la cinéaste Elena Rossini. Découvrez un tout nouvel univers des réseaux sociaux où la vie privée est respectée, les utilisa…

And
Italian:

There are
additional foreign-language versions in the works, by Czech- and German-speaking volunteers. Coming in July! I will update this page as soon as they are ready.
The video has received overwhelmingly positive feedback - thank you! - and earlier this week it was mentioned and embedded in an article by
Thiago Ferrer Morini in the Spanish newspaper El País:
El santo y el mastodonteEn las redes sociales públicas, los mensajes de las instituciones no dependen de la voluntad de una empresa. Allí es donde deben estar

What is next? Aside from versions in more foreign languages, I would very much like to adapt the video into a
zine... to spread its message even further.
As always, thank you for the incredible support!
Elena
