@gauteweb@snabelen.no @jon @ruari Yep, there are plans for this!

And you are most welcome here or if you decided to stay, you are welcome to chat with us from there as well. Federation is great!

@DoctorG @ruario It is just how Mastodon does this (at the moment).

Dev tools will get you the transcript if you want that

@gauteweb@snabelen.no Yes using our service requires an element of trust in us. @jon has however built been very consistent over the years, as has the entire team. See this earlier post from @ruari.

https://velocipederider.com/@ruari/108 311098811924890

However, this is the fediverse so you do not have to use our service to interact with our users. That is fine, expected and good!

Also we are certainly not preventing migration away to other instances, if people prefer that.

@icedquinn Here are our changes thus far, largely limited to allow login for users of our current services.

@aral I suggest you look at things our founder @jon has said during the course of his career at both Opera and Vivaldi. He has consistently pushed for open protocols and interoperability. I can promise you we will not go back on that now and try and embrace and extend. It is against the very core of what we want to do.

I realise this requires a leap of faith and we are open for more discussion.

@aral This is a really tricky balance though. Right now smaller instances struggle and not everyone can self host even with great services like @mastohost

If you do not know as as a company it is hard to see and trust our motivations. We get that but our motivation here is to try our best to help, not take over the fediverse.

@aral Decentralisation is indeed super important and there are clearly already growing communities around specific topics. We want to see more of that! In addition and number of organisations have started to open instances. This is also fantastic… more please!

We will see how this plays out. Our primary motivation here is to provide something for people who cannot find an instance that works and is snappy and as a service to our own users.

@DoctorG @ruario On the plus side this means our message is accessible to people using screen readers and I am sure you will agree that is a good thing.

Video transcript

[Presenter Mumbles] "…would be hilarious" (someone in the background laughs)

[Man sits at a desk]

"Shall I just talk?"

[Vivaldi Social logo. Below it states "Powered by Mastodon" with their logo]

[Back to the desk] 

"Hi everyone, my name is Ruarí and I am from Vivaldi. And today, I just wanted to get together to give you a really exciting announcement. I am sure a few of you are on Twitter, and you have heard some news and some issues. And people may have talked about the word Mastodon."

[Blue screen showing the Mastodon logo]

"So Mastodon is an open social network."

[Back to Ruarí]

"Where everyone can kind of contribute. And we decided to start an 'Instance'."

[Vivaldi Browser displaying content from social.vivaldi.net]

And what that means for our Vivaldi users is, they can just go ahead, log in right away—use the login they already have—and be part of this wider community. And if you are not with us that's fine, you can sign up as well. It's open to everyone!

[Back to Ruarí]

And we really love this idea because it brings us back to the roots of the web, where everyone is an equal and people are not "monitored and checked and so on" [a clarification appears on screen the means monitoring in the "profiling" sense as done by "Big tech" where you data is used and sold—the instance will be moderated]. So come and check us out at vivaldi.social.

[End Screen featuring a blue version of the Vivaldi logo and the word "Vivaldi" in caps]

@icedquinn What you see here is basically vanilla Mastodon. If we do decided to make big changes to Mastodon these will be Open Source.

Recently, we experimented with a new social media account on #Mastodon. Now we've taken a few steps further. We run our own server open to all.
It's great to be on the #Fediverse with https://vivaldi.social

Our post history is a little empty at the moment as we have just moved to this cool, new account.

If you want to get to know us better and see what we have written in the past, you can still look at our old posts (prior to migrating) for the time being.
