We love hearing your lightbulb moments when it comes to the #fediverse! In our new short video series, we want the unconverted* to see its tremendous power through your stories. (*Which is why we’re posting these clips to “walled gardens” like TikTok.)

People who’ve figured out the fediverse understand its power. Hear from early adopters who explain their lightbulb moments in our new short video series. The use cases and potential of the system are awesome, and these stories are just the beginning. Tell us: what's your favorite thing about the fediverse? We're listening and looking for more people to feature.

When @DickHardt, founder and CEO of hello.coop joined the fediverse, he couldn’t find the news he cared about. So he launched press.coop, and created accounts mirroring the X or RSS feeds of sites he or others from the community wanted to follow. Some accounts got thousands of followers. When our publishers joined the fediverse, Dick and team decided that these publisher-owned accounts might be a more direct way for people to connect with the publisher and their content. So over the next week nearly 100 press.coop accounts will be migrated to official publisher Flipboard.com accounts. If you’re already following a press.coop account, you’ll automatically follow the new one, and there’s no need to do anything. Here’s the full list:

Forward-thinking journalists are not letting the “media apocalypse” happen to them. Instead, they’re doing the work that arguably has been most critical all along: building direct connections with their readers. @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler and @ProPublica's @ben join fediverse futurist @mike for a conversation about the discovery and sustainability of quality journalism.

“Beyond the battle between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, voters are deciding tens of thousands of offices and ballot measures,” writes @taniel for @bolts. He’s created a guide with at least one non-federal election for every state, broken down by states and issues. It’s essential reading for every U.S. voter this year.

Combined, Gabon, Nigeria and the Republic of Congo are the largest suppliers of crude oil to Israel. @thecontinent reports on whether this might constitute support of genocide, and how African countries have limited ability to do anything, thanks to the power of western oil companies. “Economically and geopolitically we are at the bottom of the hierarchy, playing the same roles today as during colonization,” says Fadhel Kaboub, a Nairobi-based senior adviser at Power Shift Africa. “This takes away a lot of your sovereignty.”

Hummingbirds live life on the edge. @KnowableMag looks at how these tiny creatures can shut their bodies down almost completely, fly thousands of miles, sometimes across open oceans, sometimes upside down and backwards, and can generate g-forces high enough to make a fighter pilot black out.

It’s legal for prisoners to unionize — and it can be invaluable for incarcerated people who are often laboring in difficult conditions without pay. @TexasObserver’s Michelle Pitcher talked to Texans in and out of prisons who are helping empower prisoners to seek better conditions — including the right to be paid and to refuse work.
