Would you like your work viewed across the Fediverse and beyond? If you do #animation or #VisualArt submit to the Animation Array on #tibtv
It's like Liquid Television on MTV, but a million times better, because it promotes the artists, not some mega corporation.
Also, if animating is not your thing, I can help with making puppets, voicework, and more. PM me if you need the assist!
More info on how to submit here: https://robertafidora.com/animation-array

What I love about Mastadon and the #fediverse - I reported misinformation and propaganda, and it was reviewed and handled immediately. Other platforms would have taken days with an eventual "we found no violation" message.
Thank you to the real people moderating this service and making it a good place!

Once upon a time, I was very active on MySpace and then Facebook. Then things got really shitty, so I quit and joined BlueSky.
I felt horrible, like the smallest bit of the code, unrecognized, shouting into the void for robots and scammers. But it a good place, right? And then they banned trans people while bringing in the authoritarians.
So, I thought all social media is bad, and I should try and get a website going where I could shout at the void on my own space.
I came across [@_elena](https://mastodon.social/@_elena ) and started playing around with PeerTube. I saw @npub1fds…w6f6 talking about exciting things, connecting with real people, and rebuilding that good time I used to have being online.
It was exciting, but I wasn't sure. And then @npub15fs…l243 came on, and I was blown away. My people! There they are!
I hope other people like me quit lurking quietly and join in. It's fantastic here on the #fediverse

I don't know about other filmmakers or content creators, but I have never seen a dime from YouTube. Even when I pushed out regular content filming live events, even when I had huge numbers of followers and views, the only thing I ever got from YouTube was a bunch of nasty comments.
But unless they use ad-block, every person watching my videos sees ads they don't want for things they don't want. Google is making bank off my work, and I just want people to see it.
If you're like me, consider switching to a reputable #PeerTube instance that federates like @npub1g7y…47jr or @npub18p3…ks2l
Be like Mike. Sing up. Add your content. Follow, share links, and subscribe to real people making real content on the #fediverse

Hi #fediverse I'm 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞 - AKA 𝔇𝔞𝔯k𝔴𝔬𝔩𝔣
I'm a filmmaker, artist, and animator. I won 𝐓𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐌𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐜𝐨's 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐦 award for 𝘊𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘴: 𝘈 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘔𝘰𝘣 𝘙𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 in 2004. I also have a 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦, 𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩-𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭𝘴-𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩-𝘬𝘯𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 kind of movie you can watch for free on 𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐢 called 𝘓𝘦𝘧𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘥: tubitv.com/movies/662559/left-for-dead
I worked in 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 and 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 for TV stations in New Mexico, where I also did sketch comedy and variety shows on public access, and hired background actors for shows and movies filmed there. I used to self-publish electronic music as 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐁, and my music got played on college radio and rave clubs in the '90s.
I founded 𝐌𝐞𝐠𝐚 𝐔𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐬, making feature films, short films for the 𝟒𝟖 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐦 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥, music videos, and promotional videos for independent artists and small businesses. I make animated intros, logos, book trailers-- you name it.
I like to draw, write, and edit photos. Expect to see some artwork from me on here. :)
Nice to meet you! #introduction
