Technology is neither good nor bad; nor is it neutral. Its impact depends on how it’s used, by whom, and for what.

Artists Against AI and Algorithms Creatives Showcase - Spring 2026 Come and watch live streams of various creatives to connect with people - not platforms - and fight back against the algorithms that manipulate our social climate online.
Who: Creatives and anyone who supports creative human endeavors. Artists, spoken word artists, textiles, ceramics, makers - all welcome. What: A Live Stream Parade featuring a different creative every hour over 2 days. Where: Online. No accounts are needed to participate either as a Creative or a viewer. All streams will be broadcast using non-big-social media platforms, primarily PeerTube. When: May 8 and 9, 2026 Why: People have little opportunity to discover Creatives in the flood of algorithms and AI-generated content. This event is a celebration of people, creatives, and the human experience without the influence of giant companies.
How does it work: There will be a Main Lobby live stream running for the duration of the event for people to come and get more information, direct people to the currently active stream, as well as progress on the current schedule. Streamers will be provided a custom URL to stream to during the event. Viewers simply visit a unique link for each stream when the time comes. Each time slot will have one streamer and when the stream is done, the "parade" will be directed to the next stream starting at that time. Streamers can use existing streaming software like OBS Studio with little change other than the destination to stream to. Creatives who are not streamers can use software like OBS Studio to get set up, or can use a simple mobile app to turn a smartphone into a live-streaming camera to be used for the event. Viewers do not need an account to view or comment. Viewers who do happen to have a PeerTube account on a server that supports the LiveChat plugin can view and comment using that account.
Additional Goals and Philosophy of the Showcase Live Stream: Another key goal is to have an event where everyone builds each other up in a wholesome, and free-from-hate environment. It's about celebrating each and every person in the event, building each other up in community and safety. Everyone supporting each other to the benefit of all.

I appreciate you being a part of this community and being a voice of accountability. Nobody should bet everything on one protocol. Governance is hard and nobody will get it right. More options more interop is more better. #PeopleNotPlatforms
The first post talking about Why PeerTube is up!

Hopefully there will be some video content soon as well talking about the ethos and thoughts behind why the events are using the discussed platforms and tools. All will be published on PeerTube of course!

This is the power of federation!
When platforms and protocols don't matter. PEOPLE are at the center!
That's why I always say: #PeopleNotPlatforms

A picture of an aluminum laptop sitting on a desk with a flatscreen monitor in the background that is displaying my Ivory timelines. The laptop has a SocialBC logo sticker in the middle covering the Apple logo and there is a black-ink-on white sticker with the words “People not Platforms - A new Social”
#SocialBC is all about People not Platforms!
Finally got these stickers together on my laptop :)

@mmasnick's latest piece for @techdirt.com is an absolute must-read if you're interested in democracy, technology, and the possibility of a better future.

This event is 100% volunteer. If there are any people who are interested in doing light help before or during the event, that would be hugely helpful as well. #noai #peoplenotplatforms #peertube #artists #fediverse
The Creatives Showcase is 100% a volunteer event not associated with any group, or entity. It’s purely to be an opportunity for creatives to connect directly with people outside manipulative algorithms. #noAI #peopleNotPlatforms #art #artists #creatives #liveStream #peerTube
We say: The future’s messy. That’s why we fight to shape it—not fear it. Crypto bros? Nope. AI cults? Nah. But solidarity tech? Hell yes.

They call it “unethical AI.” I call it tools in the hands of the people.
@jammerlee.bsky.social can keep their blacklist. We’ve got bigger things to build.

Well said. What excites me the most across all of these protocol-based platforms is the ownership I get over my relationships.
I've lost too many communities because of terrible decisions made by platform owners, and I refuse to let that happen again. #PeopleNotPlatforms
