Fedi promo video in numbers - a mini thread
I originally published the video "Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media" on my self-hosted Ghost blog / PeerTube 11 days ago.
So far it has 10k views on PeerTube with 33 comments. Mostly positive.
I also uploaded it to YouTube 5 days ago - to spread the message farther - and it has 14.4k views there, with 166 comments (initially positive, but they've turned dark and critical lately).
Anyway these numbers don't tell the whole story

Do you want to know what my favorite numbers are?
14
As in 14 foreign language subtitles - and growing - because of the incredible generosity of people of the Fediverse - YOU – who loved the video and wanted it translated in your own language
2+
2 languages for the voice-over narration so far (English and French), plus Italian next week, German and Czech soon. And more languages done by volunteers...

I have never had a video translated in so many languages.
I'm just so grateful for your generosity and for the fact you've taken the initiative to translate it and/or share it with your friends and loved ones.
The ultimate goal of the video is for it to spark the curiosity of those who are not yet on the Fediverse... and to help them understand how amazing this place is.
Thank you for all your help
P.S.: dear PeerTube admins who mirrored the video on your instances to help offset its bandwidth consumption...
and dear regular PeerTube users who kept your browser on my PeerTube page to take advantage of the P2P function and also help with bandwidth
you're real life superheroes to me. I cannot thank you enough!
I only got a couple of reports of the video being down, but it was mostly up and very fast, traffic surges and all
Your video is so well done, I almost wish, I had kept some social media outside the Fediverse, just to share the good word.
Well, there's still email, right?!
