I nuked my YouTube channel. Turns out, I’d rather make shit for a handful of awesome freaks who still read blogs than spend my days begging Google’s algorithm to let me live. If I wanted to get crushed under a machine I’d go work at a Tesla factory.
we simply need to own the algorithm. The world is big, millions of people do good stuff. We need ways to find, filter, connect, keep updated etc. creating a manageable subset of the gigantic information firehose that can burn any brain to ashes. Open source platforms that are transparent, with their options laid out.
People are failing to see - for two decades now - that if you dont yourself "organize the world's information" (Google's motto), somebody else will do it for you.
A free software to take back control of your videos! With more than 600,000 hosted videos, viewed more than 70 millions times and 150,000 users, PeerTube is the decentralized free software alternative to videos platforms developed by Framasoft
Nice! I have a project I’m starting and want to document. And other than a blog, I’m considering PeerTube (particularly MakerTube, in my case). Idgaf about YT’s algorithm and I don’t want to dance to YT’s song. And I refuse to create shorts just to please the algorithm gods. Go fuck a cactus, YT and your poor TikTok imitation.
Hmm... Yes, I indeed still have some very old videos on YT, haven't really been there for years. Yes, I have been because other people linked to something there. I guess I could well login for a change, and just delete what's there. An other nice clear out.
I totally get it! There's something freeing about stepping away from all that algorithm nonsense and just focusing on your real audience. If you're interested in exploring more of that approach, you can check out this site nulsbrawl.com.tr—they’re all about creating content for a community that values substance over clicks.
I don't have hosting to offer you right now, but could you be interested in moving your old content to an alternative like peertube or and FTP server or similar?
I'm working to get off youtube fully as consumer. So content on alternatives would help. If you are interested, i'd try to find an alternative place for your content.
The best quality content (youtube videos included) is work of love. Not because or for money. So there is nothing wrong to have a YT channel or similar, as long you don't give two fucks about what the platform or people think or pay. Do it for the help/education of others. Not for money. Make quality, not quantity. make it searchable. a blog/wiki is perfect, if content is up to date and validated/tested. #sharing is caring.
Last month observed widespread warmer than average sea surface temperatures surrounding the #Arctic Ocean ice edge. Some of the largest anomalies were along the coast in the southeastern Barents Sea.
The NOAA 1/4° Daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (OISST) is a long term Climate Data Record that incorporates observations from different platforms (satellites, ships, buoys and Argo floats) into a regular global grid.
hey, chalk that up as the first major publication to admit, "we are biased and have an agenda, here it is". Now we just need The NY Times, NY Post, Fox, MSNBC, CBS, News Nation, CNN, PBS, NPR... 🤣
I keep wondering what kind of Kool-Aid this guy and his bunch have been drinking. The more I try to fathom what they are attempting to say the more disgust I feel. To use the work 'ethical" is completely alien to this person.
The Atlantic is billionaire oligarch-owned media, and it paywallwed this article on how Hitler quickly destroyed democracy. So here's the paywall-jumped archived version.
It's interesting because of its similarities to today; the power of the Nazis was acquired through the mechanisms of democracy.

Having to create an account on Kickstarter certainly is a threshold for me. How about lowering it and making it possible to donate more easily, such as via PayPal or credit card?
not sure where to post feature requests but I've noticed a growth in promotions on Pixelfed. Is that something to be encouraged, ignored or discouraged?
Personally, I'm mainly bothered by commercialization, particularly if it overwhelms the other content, so I'd be up for discouraging it.
Also, Markdown (raised by others previously) seems like a good, user centred way for people to express themselves efficiently. The world of comms elsewhere has evolved this richness (bold, italic, lists & bullets etc), so why not the Fediverse too?
Monday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the *lowest* on record (JAXA data)
• about 570,000 km² below the 2010s mean • about 1,140,000 km² below the 2000s mean • about 1,670,000 km² below the 1990s mean • about 2,040,000 km² below the 1980s mean
Was it Cory Doctorow who noted that the only way to stop a system being corrupted is to design it to be impossible to corrupt from the outset? AI involves surrendering a HUGE amount of power, and expecting no operator ever to surrender to the temptation to tweak it for their own benefit is ludicrous
Yes I believe it was indeed Cory Doctorow @pluralistic who noted this. As I recall, he called building in those restraints "Ulysses Pacts" to prevent #enshittification.
The first post I can find in which he coined the term is this:
Midweek ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the lowest on record (JAXA data)
• about 690,000 km² below the 2010s mean • about 1,330,000 km² below the 2000s mean • about 1,910,000 km² below the 1990s mean • about 2,330,000 km² below the 1980s mean
For the past two years, Radio Free Fedi has held a special place in my heart. The community operation started as a small experiment, but quickly grew into a Fediverse institution. In the time that it
We should as always continue to do our best to as directly as possible support our creative siblings as amiably as we can wherever we as artists can manage to be.
Seek change to build voices, don't shout them down.
We don't have to and shouldn't agree with every single platform and tool out there. Minimise harm where you can and do demand and celebrate good attribution and support paths.
Together we've proven it makes a huge difference being as direct and durable as possible.
Being positive in this timeline and tech climate is brutally hard.
Although the hamster is retiring from positive instigator, please continue where you can in your circles to support and uplift one another.
Same goes for advocacy, research, quietly testing of all the things out there competing for oxygen. We can be vigilant for each other and offer assists to those who ask AND warn when things smell off.

Tell me more please, about this … what did you call it? Peer tube?
I feel as though I am asking for mystical lost knowledge 😂
I am on YouTube just … so too much. Kiana Docherty & Belief it or Not & Wendigoon & Technology Connections & …
I love love love Nebula.tv but it is missing a lot of my fave creators …
And if we all move over somewhere better, creators will come to where the business is good, mayhaps …
Technology Connections is on Mastodon!

Thank you thank you!!
If it's half as wonderful as Mastodon has been, I love it already 🥰
:-)
in reply to Lady Artemis • • •@missladyartemis @zleap
It is not as content filled and mature as peertube yet. BUT it is there and we can make it grow.
It is actually part of the fediverse, so you can boost/fav/comment peertube videos directly with your mastodon account.
It is pretty great! If you check it out please leave much boosts, favs and comments to motivate the creators
(If you need help, DM me)
