new years day 2024 global 24 hour stream parade!
Broadcasters, performers, friends!
Are you on the fediverse? Do you use Owncast or Peertube? Would you like to have a stream on new years day and be part of a fun 24 hour global marathon, train, parade, “raid”? Let us know if you want to do a special 1 or 2 hour stream of whatever it is you generally do. Are you already doing a bigger event and would be happy to acknowledge or accept having a specific time slot for the marathon pointing to you? All good let's do it.
Here is the parade route ie. schedule
Rules?
Are you a decent fedizen, does your content cause no harm, is your content original open or fully consented, will chat be available and moderated, that's pretty much it, hop aboard. As a distributed event RFF nor any other participants can guarantee all the content but as a community we'll do our best and look out for each other.
The idea is multi focused. We want to: – celebrate and introduce the community of streamers using “alternative” and self powered platforms – facilitate a bunch of hangouts on a day that may already be a party, and may just be another day to get through for others so let's assemble! – inspire more folks to have a go at self powered and community broadcasting
If you are a fedi/owncast/peertube broadcaster or streamer and want to join the parade please message @radiofreefedi@musician.social or join matrix room NYD24StreamParty:matrix.org.
We'll do our best to coordinate a contiguous parade. RFF will act as a lobby and information desk for the day and between ourselves and a few other broadcasters we will try to fill any gaps. Inversely, the more the merrier and if things get really active there may be some overlap, so at that point it's a festival not a party!
We can also simulcast any original and/or fully consented content to the radio free fedi Specialty audio channel on the day if you are able to send us a signal we'd be happy to receive as much as possible. If you are an audio only streamer or podcaster, we could live host you on radio free fedi which we can relay to our owncast video channel et voila!
If you broadcast elsewhere and haven't dipped a toe into the calm waters of non corporate streaming, we may be able to align you with a host broadcaster for the day, however this availability may vary if you are non cleared and consented, commercial material.

Our Friends at Owncast https://directory.owncast.online Are helping with connecting broadcasters, hosts, their directory and have made a darn good platform empowering many of us.
As we get more broadcasters, performers, and friends onboard for the event we'll update the schedule, links and planned programming from everyone here, probably a dedicated RFF url and hopefully a few affiliates will help amplify as well!
Let's find more friends and hangout and discover and celebrate each other on a predefined Monday :)
More ways you can help or contribute: – volunteer for a some time to moderate and hangout in the fedi chat on the RFF video channel acting as a lobby, info desk and traffic management for the duration of the parade. – can you help with amplifying, boosting, or other creative means to excite the community? – have some technical resource or chops to help provide some infra or mentorship? – can you help do fedi announcements at crossover times during the event or help with some ways to automate some affiliated promotion? – want to make some fun graphics or art for RFF to use on our video channel acting as the lobby and info desk on the day?
