@greytheearthling @Forbearance Yeah, sadly most creators that I know who use the usual corpo social networks fall into category 2. Even when the platforms actively screw their "reach" they're reluctant to try some weird alternative they've never heard of.

@mauve @Forbearance I reckon there are 3 categories of YouTube uploaders with different needs:
1. If you just want to publish videos, PeerTube is great!
2. Some people believe they need YouTube for the reach, so that their videos will be discovered by their potential audience; this is something the Fediverse could fulfil in future (or perhaps already, depending on your expected scale).
3. But the hard problem is that some people depend on Google's advert money to make a living. (If Liberapay or Patreon would be enough, you're in category 2 instead and we're back in the race.)

@Forbearance It's hard to convince creators to migrate. I think some science channels are migrating to https://curiositystream.com/ which I've been curious to try. Else I think we need to archive channels onto peertube instances. 😅
@taulant Yup! Sadly a common side-effect. I try to take it earlier in the day to combat this effect. 😅
Magnesium dreams are weird as heck
Instead of profit, society should be optimized for "the love of the game"
@Forbearance It'd be nice if all the weird youtube nerds got enough UBI to just make stuff without having to seek sponsors

Made a rly big soup for dinner and got to use the new bowl my mom bought from a local indigenous artist. 🥰
I hate advertisements so much. Whenever a 10 min video is interrupted by a "sponsor segment" it just makes me hate whatever product more and often leads me to just block the channel. I pay for the premium ad free stuff and yet I still can't escape the ads
Got mauled by a vicious beast today. My cat got spooked while I was holding her up to look at my gecko
Bring back social networks and ditch the "media"

I'm not going to waste my precious human time reading something that you didn't spend your precious human time writing.
I really don't care about the well-aligned randomly stolen words of a text-generating machine you are using for cheap marketing.
@joykill Yeah I mean it as a metaphor.
@douginamug @rosano @liaizon @rabble did some interesting projects focused on communities that built on the nostr protocol

Efficiency is the removal of redundancy. Redundancy is a necessary element of resilient systems. The unbounded search for efficiency has one result: brittleness.

Cyborg problems. I was laying in bed reading something on my phone.
Suddenly YouTube opens to never gonna give you up.
My phone got close to the NFC chip in my hand. The chip has one url... A link to that video.
I fucking rickrolled myself with my implant

just saw some video of Waymo's Chief Safety Officer having it laboriously dragged out of him in a court hearing that they do employ remote drivers and that a bunch of them are in the Philippines. and even still, the insistence on personifying their products eg "the waymo asks for help", "the human recommends" is such a conspicuous odd contortion that it's almost certain there are legal + business imperatives behind it that they don't talk about and won't until a regulator forces them to.

There are two problems in computer science:
1. We could do this better
2. We should not do this at all

Senior Developer in the Civil Service. I always feel unmotivated and depressed this time of year, so to make myself feel better at work I draw small pixel football kits in MS Paint, like I did when I was a kid.
