After I shared this great new Mastodon promotion video by @_elena, I am seeing quite many replies stating that her sharing it on YouTube is bad, because YouTube is evil.
YouTube has 2.7 billion monthly users (yes billions), so if we are to get more people to join Mastodon, that is the perfect place inform people.
You do not catch more fish by fishing inside your own boat.

Listen up Mastodonians, because this is important:Right now we have a unique chance to rise up and hit back against Zuckerberg and Musk. Because italian filmmaker @_elena and her friends have made an OUTSTANDING short film, which explains why people should quit the fascist social networks and come join us in the fediverse.
Hit the fascists where it hurts — make this go viral by watching it and liking it on YouTube, then hit the share button and share it everywhere!

Does it litterally mean hypocrisy swallow? Like the bird?

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •andahl@mastodon.social Ah, sorry. Yes, it does mean swallow, which in Dutch would be a "zwaluw". We do, however, use the German word "Schwalbe" for a soccer player fake-diving intended at fooling the referee. (I think you call this "film")
It is a whole cultural story including national traumata why we use the German word for that.

in reply to Randahl Fink • • •In fact Elena is specifically addressing the non-fediverse to tell them about the fediverse. Where else would she put it but YouTube?
I’m sorry Elena that people are idiots!
I actually found it useful and I’m already here, so thank you.
