oh neat, we mainstream now
I’ve been thinking for ages how someone like MKBHD hosting their own Mastodon instance could really solidify the Fediverse’s presence. I bet a big chunk of his audience would be willing to spend a dollar in order to get an @mkbhd.com or @matteblack.com or @24fps.com or whatever handle, too.
I don’t listen to hour long podcast episodes
Podcasts are a last bastion of mainstream web freedom.
They’re great to pop in some earbuds and listen to while you’re cooking, cleaning or driving. I also put them on while going to bed cuz they don’t keep me up like videos or socials.

yes, I’m well aware of that, but it still doesn’t change the fact that I just don’t listen to them - especially when an episode is an hour long.
Have you tried listening to them at 1.5 or 2x speed?
Much easier to listen to.
yes I have. it’s just not my thing, thank you very much.
Many podcast apps also have a “skip silences” feature.
I don’t use it, but I know others find utility in it.

Perhaps. But then moderation costs etc enter into it. But to host himself and friends/employees absolutely. Unlike X they’d have complete control.
