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]
