John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night’s episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed
It’s brief, around 25:15

If you’ve been sitting on making a post about your favorite instance, this could be a good opportunity to do so.
Going by our registration applications, a lot of people are learning about the fediverse for the first time and they’re excited about the idea. I’ve really enjoyed reading through them :)

John Oliver’s the GOAT, along with Jon Stewart.
John Goodman, John Candy, John F. Kennedy, John C. Reilly, John Denver. Trust in the Jo(h)ns…
John Wick?
I would trust him to watch my dogs.
I don’t know, man, his seems pretty dead.
That’s a lot of John son.
Johnson had a big johnson
His videos are uploaded on PeerTube as well. I don’t know if his team is doing it or a fan. lastweektonight_channel@tube.fede.re
It says its an unofficial mirror
given that the name contains “(unofficial mirror)”, I’m willing to take a guess
Is there a Roku client for PeerTube?
Looks like there is one PeerVue as per the following link:
Thanks! I’ll check it out.
isn’t this that skibidi biden guy
This might actually be kind of huge. Doesn’t he have a pretty big outreach?
He did that a month ago: https://feddit.nl/post/29282674
Oh, so it didn’t do that much then. Oh well, still good exposure!
Its like with normal advertisement. If you heard the name of it before, especially from a trustworthy source, then it instantly becomes more trustworthy to you. When people seriously start looking for alternatives, they will think back or try to find that episode again.
Yeah the question is where does he personally have his social media? X, facebook, instagram by the looks of it?
I don’t see him on mastodon
Hmm. If people like himself were to start using Mastodon and Pixelfed, there would be a bigger increase of users for sure.
That was nice of him
Pixelfed is growing fast.
A few months ago, it was like me and six other losers. It’s great to see!
Now if only he promoted XMPP as well
Signal? Does it have channels like Telegram?
Yes, but a cabinet level government official has to add you
So it’s pretty easy to get in.
Signal is more like snapchat with people you know. With its stories.
WhatsApp. It’s a direct WhatsApp clone.
Not really.
I’m a big signal proponent, but it’s very barebones. There is a half ass story implementation, but otherwise, it’s a pretty lean messaging application with voice and video and that’s pretty much it.
Signal doesn’t really have a mechanism for following accounts the way you can on telegram and WhatsApp, and while it supports group chats, it’s more akin to an old school group text rather than a channel like on telegram or Whatsapp.
I guess I didn’t know WhatsApp caught up that much to Telegram, the WhatsApp I knew used to support group chats and voice calls but nothing like channels, supergroups and following users, yet.
@lord_ryvan @Evotech It may not be the most private (unless you use private chat), but Telegram is the best alternative to WhatsApp, both in terms of user count and usability. It’s the easiest transition.
