Not bad but I’ll stick with Brave and Brave Search.

Anything but promoting homeschooling or arming teachers, amirite?

I respect your choice to do that (kinda sick of arguments in general) but honestly, that’s part of the problem. Seems not too many people are willing to have civil discussions these days, it’s all so polarized. Have a good one.

Sure, but Odysee is an American platform. And ultimately, the only reason your viewers would blame you for others on a platform is because we’ve infantalized the internet over the past decade or so. Used to be that netizens knew that trolls and bullies exist online and wouldn’t blame individual platforms for it.

Yep, this is pretty much what I was expecting to hear. You know you can block channels/accounts you don’t like, no? I don’t believe in censorship of legal speech. As long as no violence is being threatened, as long as drugs aren’t being sold and as long as children are not being harmed, it falls under the first amendment. If I don’t like what someone says, I just block them because that’s what the internet was always about: free expression, even of ideals we don’t like or agree with.

I agree with you on Peertube. I’d love to see it grow but I just don’t see it doing so until things change significantly.

Also, I don’t believe in censorship of legal speech protected under the US constitution so the moderation issue doesn’t bother me. I just block channels and accounts I don’t like.

I do, but the desktop version is still barebones compared to FreeTube or the Odysee webpage. It’s great on mobile, though!

And as for Peertube, I guess part of the problem is that it doesn’t feel as connected as other Fediverse services seem to feel. Not sure why, it just feels really disjointed to me.

I don’t know if I need to ask, but what’s wrong with Odysee?

I just can’t get into using Peertube. I love the idea, but in my experience, it just doesn’t work the way it should. Slow, low video quality, hard to get the federation working properly, and most importantly, a general lack of content creators I care to follow.

I stick with Odysee for this, and several other reasons.

Mastodon and Pixelfed. Mastodon is my main (Retro Gaiden) but I’m experimenting with the Fediverse to see what works for me and what doesn’t.

I understand restricting the macOS version because it costs money but doing this for Windows is just a scumbag tactic, to be sure.

Oh, the irony of that last statement contrasted with the rest of your post.

All these replies are extremely indicative of just how utterly ridiculous the Fediverse can be. It almost makes me want to leave again but no: this network needs opposing opinions from its “acceptable” narrative. It’s bad enough that the Fediverse is already an echo chamber as it is.

Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong, I know it can be worse. I just think it could also be better.

I love Steam but I’ve always felt like the refund policy was a bit of a joke. I feel like the time limit should be flexible, being a bit longer for games that have long tutorials or a bunch of intro cutscenes.

That’s because they’re classy and understand that the two are totally different projects. Skyblivion is impressive but that doesn’t even remotely mean that an official remaster/remake isn’t worth having.

I just don’t get the hype of immutable. Sure, it’s not easy to break and can be better for security, but it really does defeat the purpose of Linux freedom. It’s only really good for absolute and total beginners (meaning those who aren’t tech savvy), and for home console style PCs.

Yeah? Good. Bluesky’s community is atrocious. Nostr and the Fediverse are better and far more resistant to censorship anyway.
