Forget trad wives, the new influencer trend should be #NerdWives.
"Hey honey, I turned our old computer into a server so I could set up a #fediverse instance for our child and her friends."
"Hey all, today I am showing you #NextCloud as an alternative to #Dropbox and #GoogleDrive."
"Get ready with me! Today I am showing you how I check in with my friends with off-grid mesh radio first thing in the morning."
How awesome would this be? I mean, finally a trend where people LEARN SOMETHING and are more empowered as a result.
(Forever grateful to my Fedi friends for all the inspiration and encouragement in trying new tools) ❤️

in reply to Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂ • • •okay, re: Nextcloud. How difficult is it to set up, and if one doesn't need cloud services out in the world, just local network, is it still worth the effort?
My wife and I DO NOT have phones, and are rarely in a cafe or setting where cloud access is required, but at home, we could use it.

in reply to Callista Graves • • •I'm not sure you need NextCloud for your particular needs...
I actually wrote a while back a guide about how to install it with YunoHost, if you are curious about it: blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbie… (3rd article in the series)

I'm not aware of any formal associations... but it's always so nice to connect with them. Maybe we should start a group 😊

I just need to personally apologize if you never heard of trad wives and you found out about this trend via my toot. Sorry Suzanne. It's a thing.
Please do not look it up if you weren't aware of it, just carry along, you'll be much happier

in reply to Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂ • • •I have a nerd wife. Instead of arguing about which restaurant to eat at we argue about opening firewall ports, do we put the one device on the same guest network as the in-laws or its own (more out of fear of what the in-laws bring), who gets to upgrade their machine(s), why she gets a fancier web cam, what am I *really* storing on the NAS, etc.
Of course, the nerdly hobbies is where it gets fun 😁

in reply to Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂ • • •I want to try to convince the local rabbi to get a presence in the fedi. I might encounter two challenges:
1. How to get it technically work. Easiest way: recommend my instance. Hopefully he is okay with a ashkenasi diasporic Run instance, whilst a sefardi himself.
2. He is such a humble Person, that he fears the fame.
But maybe I get him to recommend the Fediverse over Facebook.
He discourages Facebook for reasons, you can easily imagine.
Best Arguments for the Fediverse for people, who value decency, privacy, true and deep connection and hate superficial presentation, big Egos and cheap entertainment, but know only commercial social Media so far.
Especially the last point is a very big problem: Commercial Social Media is all, what they know. Facebook, Instagramm, Tiktok, X, WhatsApp. They at least heard of Telegram and Signal and Matrix. Matrix has some Nerd status, the same for Linux. It is deemed nothing for the Masses. When I say I prefer Linux,

in reply to Elischeva • • •It is quasi automatically assumed, I work in Hightech. And almost no one is that technical literate.
You would look like an High tech person to them, @elena . Only, because you self host. Because, it needs a lot of skill. Thats what they assume.
So how to get these kind of people on board? How to overcome the notion of being a nerdy thing?
Maybe I should Translate your Fediverse introduction into Hebrew?
