Er, what?

I love RFF. In fact I’ve enjoyed listening to it more than any other online source of music for a long time.

It’s a community internet radio station that plays music (and some spoken word) from artists on the Fediverse.

I love it, especially their ‘Comfy’ channel.

I think that the commission should remain at exactly the same percentage but that they should be required by law to do an amount of work that represents it. Like take home the 20k on Monday but then spend Tuesday to Sunday working full time in whichever brothel gets assigned to you by the buyer. Or participating in concurrent human medical experiments or somesuch.

I had to learn to remember this within the dream and to forcibly wake myself up from it to stop this happening. Which I think is quite an accomplishment, if I may say so myself.

I suspect it goes back to wearing nappies/diapers as a baby. Babies naturally try to wait until they are unclothed to relieve themselves; they essentially have to learn how to go in a nappy, or else let it happen because they can’t hold it in any longer. Then they have unlearn this with potty training. It’s crazy really.

OK, apology accepted. And I do agree that commodified/appropriated speech is annoying to hear by the way.

How about a deal; you make more of an effort to be nice, and I make more of an effort to avoid corporate language?

Woah, shame on me for not getting my thesaurus out for you. I’ll be more careful next time…

There’s no need to be rude and swear at me. Be polite, offer a correction. If you’re against corporations (like I am) then maybe leave their culture of antagonism at the door and help keep the Fediverse pleasant, helpful and cooperative.

What’s happened now?

You’re not doing it wrong. It’s just a bit like that at the moment.

What Peertube needs is for other Fediverse platforms to build in a filter so only posts which contain video are displayed.

Peertube posts do federate but because there are way less videos produced than text and image posts (for obvious reasons) they are drowned out. Filtering by content type seems like the obvious solution. This is how Pixelfed works (but for still images), so it’s clearly possible.

My feeling is that we’re still in the first iteration of the Fediverse, where it’s mostly trying to replace the functionality of corporate platforms. Which I think has mostly been achieved now. Hopefully it will start leaning into its unique strengths now and become really innovative.

Of course there is also the issue of adoption and Peertube has had less publicity than Mastodon and Lemmy, so it’s understandable that there is less content. If you can, contact your favourite youtubers and ask them to start a Peertube channel. If enough of us do this it starts to become a thing :)

lol

I hope people are using that power for worthwhile things.

Pretty much like everything else corporations do then!

I don’t want to see commercial content. I also don’t want others to see it because it will pollute the culture of the Fediverse.

It’s funny how members of the same species can seem so much like different species.

‘Defrutum’ is exactly what I would name an alcoholic fruit syrup if I was a drunk Roman.

How do I do that? Thanks

Is it possible for an instance to send out false vote data that can’t be verified? Lemmy doesn’t seem like a plausible target for it at the moment (and i dont pretend to know how this works beyond a conceptual level) but I can imagine a bad actor at some point seeking to manipulate voting.

Really interesting to read about your experiences - thanks for sharing.

I think what we have is amazing for a bunch of nobodies with no corporate cash. We’re all volunteers, building the social media we want to have. We should be proud of it, no matter what stage it’s at.

No matter what the challenges are currently, this is what makes the Fediverse so brilliant. It flies in the face of the system which is currently ruining almost everything in the world. It’s the online social facet of the all-encompassing reclaiming of power that has to happen for us to be a healthy society on a healthy planet. Lemmy (and the rest of the Fediverse as far as I can tell) basically functions in much the same way as the corporate social media it replaces, so it comes with the same downsides e.g trolling, being addictive, potentially misleading and so on. But the fact that it’s ours to develop/change/adapt, according to our own shared values, makes it fundamentally diiferent. We’re already seeing improvements over what it’s replacing and I’m really excited to see where it leads. In the grand scheme of things the mass use of the internet is still quite new and right here is at the cutting edge of navigating how it should work for us.

Being able to do this in Lemmy and configure it would be amazing. In Piefed’s implementation does it leave ‘orphaned’ responses to the hidden comment visible or does it hide those as well?
