LibRedirect really gives you a taste of what the web could have been like had it not developed under capitalism.
(Thanks to everyone who suggested it to me here. I really feel the difference when I’m on my iPhone and I’m like, wait, why did the web become shit all of a sudden?) :)

The free open source livestreaming platform OwnCast has set up a demo server at:
It currently runs a loop of videos by people who self-host their livestreams using OwnCast, along with short videos promoting other libre projects.
If you run a free open project and have a short video (under 1 minute), you can have it added to this loop by contacting @owncast.
OwnCast servers include Fediverse compatibility, so you can follow them from Mastodon etc. When a stream you follow goes live, you'll see a message telling you about it in your timeline.

OwnCast is a sort of Fediverse alternative to Twitch. It lets people host their own video livestream with a chat window at the side, and OwnCast accounts can be followed from Mastodon etc.
You can find out more about @owncast at owncast.online, and they have a directory of streamers at directory.owncast.online
If you follow an OwnCast account from Mastodon, you will see a post from them in your timeline telling you when the account has gone live.
Also, if you follow an OwnCast account or boost its posts, this will appear in the livestream's chat window (see the attached picture).
Some OwnCast accounts you can try following right now include:
@live (soulful house music shows)
@hatnix (Linux gaming streams)
@Hamish - (retro gaming streams)
(Note that some OwnCast accounts do not have Fediverse switched on yet, so they won't be visible on Mastodon etc)

There have been many reports lately that Facebook is blocking links to joinmastodon.org
If you are still on Facebook, please keep spreading the word about Mastodon and the Fediverse.
If joinmastodon.org doesn't work, try posting a link to a reliable instance people can join. There are so many instances, Facebook cannot block all of them from being mentioned.
That Facebook are even doing this implies the Fediverse is on their radar, which is quite an achievement in itself!
