Updating Mastodon Presentation

Intro

I last updated my Mastodon Presentation in 2020, I have been working on a new version using Overleaf and the LaTeX typesetting system.

I have tried to make sure it is clear what both the Fediverse is, what Mastodon is and how Mastodon fits within the Fediverse.

The old version, written in LibreOffice Inpress is here.

The new version is here

New version uses

• Overleaf Online editor
• LaTex + Beamer
• External assets e.g graphics
• main.tex

You can clone this in the usual way

git clone https://salsa.debian.org/zleap-guest/mastodonpresentation2024

I am still not very good at using git, and there is little in the way of support within Torbay at the moment.

Academics on Mastodon

Anyone now claiming that no one uses the Fediverse, clearly has no clue as to what they are talking about.

There is a large academic presence on Mastodon alone, and Mastodon is just part of the wider Fediverse. The first list below [1] is an excellent resource there is also Trunk, which also lists by interest / topic.

Fediverse Presentation.

This is early work in progress. A few years ago, I made a presentation to help promote Mastodon social network. As this is part of the Fediverse, it is much preferred to refer to the Fediverse rather than individual services that make it up so I have created a new presentation to focus on explaining what the Fediverse is.

I can't cover all the services, but have mentioned the services I am using.

• Fediverse Presentation

It is in open document format, or in this case LibreOffice Impress (.odp), and also in Portable Document Format (.pdf).

Hopefully it is of interest and of use, feel free to modify to your needs.

If you want the old Mastodon Presentation then it can be found on Salsa gitlan here
