lots of indie musicians on the fediverse. :-)

Oh I absolutely do it for passion. LOVE talking with folks, especially about foss and open platforms. And definitely haven't made really any money. And any money goes to TubeFree or back to the Fediverse somehow. I've definitely spent way more than I've made. Lol

TY for linking. :-)
Asking for constructive criticism reasons, is there a reason you don't watch or listen? I've been told my mic quality bothers folk, so working on getting a new setup for that this week hopefully. :-D If you just don't listen because you're not a consumer of that kind of content or just not interested, totally understand. I just thriving on constructive criticism. :-)

lol wow I hope folks don't follow my ramblings. :-) But I do like Voyager and TY for suggesting!

lol I am here. I'm all in on the Fediverse. ;-) If there's a platform in the Fedi I'm not on, please let me know so I can learn about it! :-D

Thank you for your hard work! Let me know if you'd like to talk on Fireside Fedi with me sometime!

When I say quality I'm not talking about like Hollywood. I'm more trying to talk about good, fun, no misinformation, NP hate speech etc. Right now I've funded this nonprofit myself. And I have so much I can put into it. I'm just trying to give folks choice as well. I talk with a lot of people and while I've been able to recommend platforms people kind of turn off if I don't ha e a direct way to help them. And lots of folks don't want to trust some random dude, but are more open when they hear it's a real business.
As for charging for storage, I don't know if we'll do that. Right now my goal is to get people involved. Hopefully donations, or sponsorships or grants can help with that. It was one avenue of thought.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Any thoughts, suggestions, etc, I'm always open to hearing it. :-) Hell, the good luck is still a great start. Thank you. We'll need it.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I already have some folks interested in joining. I didn't want it to be attached to me as a personal entity, so no. I don't think it's backwards. You can't ask people to come to a restaurant that doesn't exist yet.
Maybe it is. I've never run a business. So this might all flop. But I have to try at least. I personally believe the Fediverse is the next evolution of the web. And we need to help it where ever we can.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
It's just an idea at the moment. I don't know if it's feasbile, practical, or even allowed legally. Hence why I have to talk to my accountant.
But my idea is to generate income either through donations, funding drives, sponsors in the banner, etc. Or to do like a service where you can upload X amount of videos for $/month.
Then once we've hit break even, assuming we do (yes I know this is a difficult task atm), to share the additional revenue with content creators.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Definitely a difficult task. Thinking more of a service fee for storage space or faster transcoding maybe. IDK we're still figuring it out. Also checking with an accountant about maybe being able to do a revenue share or something for content creators. All very much a work in progress though.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I agree. We're in a chicken and egg problem. No creators because no viewers, no viewers because no creators. I've started Fireside Fedi to help make some kind of content. I'm setting up this NonProfit to show there's an actual business behind it. I've opened the Peertube to attempt to make that barrier to entry lower.
I have some ideas on how to help people upload to multiple places easier, but I'm no dev and need to talk to a friend I could probably interest.
Thank you for the welcome. :-)
I'm running my own auto-follow index at ptindex.btfree.org if you'd like to get added to it.
Also going to attempt to create a search index this week. I have found far too many unsavory instances on the public on. So attempting to provide value with building our own.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Yup. I'm never going to be able to give Youtubers Youtube money. But I'm asking my accountant about some kind of rev share or something. It's still a work in progress. This instance though is to help onboard those that are interested in an alternate platform that do it for their community. Hard ask, but we'll be here for the long haul, hopefully. :-D

Let us know your thoughts! I've been using it for years. Definitely some jank, definitely not for everyone, but again it's been pretty good for me. And if you really want you can run your own server.

Lol that's an absolutely fair request. Have you asked on Element github? Sounds like a Mich needed feature.

Happy to have folks on e2ee matrix. It supports calling directly and group voice and video chat rooms quite well IMO. :-)

Cory is amazing. I interviewed him on Fireside Fedi and that dude has so many well thought out points. He changed my mind on Threads coming into the Fediverse.

This has been tried and tried again. The first time I remember seeing this was in the '90's where a "free" dial up ISP was trying this. NetZero maybe? Didn't work then, won't work now. They'll pay out so little it won't be worth it. Don't do it kids!

Planka looks beautiful. I have a friend that recommended this as well. GOnna try out Planka.

Thank you for the link. Just trying to spark conversation. :-) Do you have any specific experiences with any of them that you like?

- Comment on Minio strips away almost all features from OSS interface and suggests people use their paid "AIStor" service instead 2 months ago:
That's because it is another bubble. They're all bubbles IMO. Since the boom of the internet they've all been scrambling from one fools gold rush to the next. Crypto, nft, metaverse, AI. Heel even social media that was given freely isn't returning the expected investments and that's why they're all enshitiffying.
