  I feel the same about PeerTube. And the fact it is a defederated network with opt in to federation is a bad model IMO. There’s no way for a creator to get paid, either AFAIK. 

  I tried it out. First sign up, I was shuttled to an instance federated with only two other instances. Second sign up, I found what looked like an active instance but there still is just a lack of content. I’m not sure how to fix any of its issues as I see them. I’d love an actual YouTube competitor

  Anyone that gets little attention will likely be easier to get with because they’re so unused to anything like it.

  It’s overwhelming and intoxicating to suddenly seemingly be the center of someone else’s world and desires when you never experience anything like it in your day to day life. Or maybe ever.

  It’s like not knowing you’ve been living in a desert your whole life and it suddenly starts to rain and you realize you’re not a cactus, you’re a willow tree and you need rain to live.

  As an American, I find all of these criticisms largely true and things I also find annoying about us and our culture.

  They’re the most incremental upgrades ever now, with very little innovation outside the foldable space.

  I’m going to use this Pixel 8a until it drops dead. I’m not sure how other people feel, but smart phones have largely plateaued to me. It feels more like my PC. Like I only upgrade when something fries or I can no longer run the latest applications I need.

  Holy crap, this takes me back to high school when I was a gigantic party going degenerate.

  My friend and I each took a box in his backyard one night because we couldn’t find anything better to do as far as drugs went.

  I stared out the window of the trailer we smoked weed in for like… 4 hours? My friend got lost outside the fence. It was strange. He was the only thing that remained normal during the hallucinations. He said it was the same for him. That’s why he freaked out when he wandered out the gate because the calm center of his universe vanished.

  Ah, memories of teenage degeneracy…

  Definitely not a recommended trip from me, even at a lesser more “proper” hallucinogenic dose.

  Northeast would be one of the 8 already. North by northeast is the direction between north and northeast

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isint lemmy more popular?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Having to choose a server before you know what that means or the differences between the slightly different versions of federated networks makes it more confusing.

  Yes, “it doesn’t matter which server you choose,” because you can see the posts from anywhere, in theory.  Except, it also kind of does matter. Places defederate from each other. If you pick a smaller instance, it may suddenly just go down and then you’re back at the start again.

  Honestly, I’ve made… 5? 6? different versions of me on different instances. Kbin went down, didn’t get into Mastodon, lemm.ee went down, didn’t like Mbin as much as Kbin, tried fedia.io sort of liked it, ended up largely on piefed.social, but also like being on sopuli.xyz because it’s defederated from less and has more global content.

  It’s confusing and niche. I honestly really love it even when I kind of hate it. I end up ahead of the curve in a lot of tech news because of the hardcore enthusiasts on here.

  Something to keep in mind with edibles is that they will hit harder if you eat them with any fat in your stomach. So I like to eat some cheese after eating mine to give it a boost.

  You might be doing something similar if you’re finding your dosage feeling off.
