@torresjrjr @hansw Indeed,

@hansw @torresjrjr I am involved running a tech jam here in Devon, we are starting up again in Jan., but neither of the people I run that with think it is worth even having peertube / mastodon (everyone uses Youtube / facebook) so for me it is about also breaking that down.

But we may need a different approach, I do have access to a big blue button instance, which is going to probably appeal to the business types, but that doesn't (as yet) support peertube vidoes, I can copy / paste a youtube url in and it will play inside the chat / video room. (nice feature that)

@torresjrjr @hansw I think it needs a team effort, so more than one person, to help each other.

it depends on who we aim at, younger people, business (SME) community, charities, local tourist type stuff. Just letting people know this all exists

@torresjrjr @Demosthenes Good point, I think a Major selling point is the federation I can watch and reply to your peer tube video from Mastodon or peertube. I think either way the counter reflects number of views regardless of the platform viewed on.

@feditips Thanks for this, will add to my digital skills page

Thanks for this though, and yeah we kinda need to work out how to do this, but we can look at 2021 being the year of the Fediverse,

@torresjrjr @Demosthenes The video is also really nice too.

@torresjrjr @Demosthenes Well it was just an idea, if we can find a platform people can use, I know there are friendly interfaces to IRC.

@Demosthenes @torresjrjr I am on freenode, but I surely q/a is not marketing, there is a #libreoffice channel for support / questions.

We are not selling anything, if on IRC it woudl actually promote freenode, but I do see your point.

I started using freenode back in er mid 90s :)

@FinancialTimes If not that, what about a nationwide class action lawsuit for making a total mess of the response to it.

In the Uk this vaccine comes in 2 does something like 2 weeks apart, also needs to be stored at very low temp, it may also have a short shelf life,

Do these officials ever listen to the people that make these things, ?

@torresjrjr @savjee@masmsddn.io With this guide, how many people hang out in IRC ? I am asking as would it be worth, at a set time each week a group of us being in an IRC channel to answer questions about Mastodon / Fediverse. ?

It may help bring people over if they could talk to someone and ask questions. It is easy enough to put a widget on a website and then publish a link, (we can do this with my blog as I have a widget on there),

Is there a free software equivalent of say meet up, ?

@torresjrjr Thanks for this, will share, see if I can get more people to use free tools and the fediverse. Starting to see some great content on here now so that is going to help.

@thestrongest @coyote The strains could be similar enough that the vaccine works on several strains, it is about training the immune system to recognise and provide antibodies I think.,
