Lemmy and mastodon have been very usable for me.
Peertube and friendica on the other hand…
- Comment on Pixelfed's first plateau in progress 6 hours ago:
This is usually where these apps stop for me.
I genuinely don’t care about what other people have to share.

Do you think saying women can’t think for themselves is hate speech?
- Comment on Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad? 1 day ago:
Good question. My honest answer is 🧩.
I’ve seen it enough in the tech sphere to recognize it for what it is.
- Comment on Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad? 1 day ago:
I’m actually referring to both. Instance owners are afraid to allow users to host content and they’re afraid to link to servers that host content.
- Comment on Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad? 1 day ago:
Remember, federation is copying, not creating some kind of remote view.
Is this true? It’s my understanding that, lemmy for example, has the protocol in place for servers to communicate their content with each other, but each server’s content is hosted separately.
Are you saying all federated services copy each other’s data instead of only linking to it?
- Comment on Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad? 1 day ago:
No, I don’t think it’s anywhere near that bad.
I just think that going forward, Peertube developers and instance owners should make the platform more accessible and interconnected.
It’s a bigger responsibility to actually host content instead of just links to content, which I don’t think most peertube instance owners can handle.
- Comment on Do you like the Mastodon approach of consistent branding for different instances? 2 days ago:
Yes. Having the OPTION is great.
- Comment on Do you like the Mastodon approach of consistent branding for different instances? 2 days ago:
Absolutely. I think there should be sane defaults, and whoever deviates from them should know why they’re doing it.
- Comment on Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad? 2 days ago:
The frontend is nice, I actually enjoy it. Lots of functionality and fairly easy to navigate.
The problem is the culture around peertube instance: most owners are copying each other by not federating or allowing users to easily upload videos.
Essentially, most of the admins are afraid to actually host a video platform so they do anything in their power to prevent others from using it.
- Comment on Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad? 2 days ago:
There are no great instances because all federation is opt-in.
There’s also no general, standard “Peertube affiliated” instance that tries to federate with as many others as possible.
I think there were just some very poor design decisions made for the platform by people who don’t know what they’re doing.
Ex: Blurring sensitive videos blurs the title as well, without the option to change it.
The community doesn’t help because most instances have “request an account” nonsense or literally don’t allow users to upload videos.
I re-iterate my previous comment: “most instances are just places where the owner can jerk themselves off for excluding everything.”
There will be great peertube instances, but the culture needs to change first.
- Comment on Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad? 2 days ago:
Both.
Peertube made this asinine decision to make federating opt-in, so most instances are just places where the owner can jerk themselves off for excluding everything.
- Comment on I hate how many people are against russian ancestry 5 days ago:
It’s typical among losers that try to piggyback on the accomplishments of their own ancestors.
Stupid people intrinsically see value is taking credit for the work of others, and they project that mindset onto everyone else.
- Comment on I hate how many people are against russian ancestry 5 days ago:
There’s a lot of hysteria going on right now. I don’t subscribe to it, but most useful idiots do.
I’m sorry for any discrimination you have received from these idiots; they don’t know any better.

“Bigot watch” sounds like the exact kind of dumb entity that would lie about their opponents being trolls just to discredit them.

What I can say is, sarcasm isn’t half as funny as you think it is.
It isn’t witty. It isn’t clever. It’s pretty cringe for people on reddit, which is why it gets upvoted so much.
Try to rise above that if you want to be better than it.

The modern internet has been conditioned to invalidate their opponents by saying they’re opponents aren’t being serious.
Reddit has caused immeasurable damage due to its bandwagon mentality and overreaching censorship.
- Comment on Modern designers are shit these days and they have degrees to blame. 5 days ago:
I immediately think less of anyone with a design degree. Odds are they are making the world a worse place and are too stupid, ignorant, greedy, or complacent to realize it.
