    Considering that most western media is completely insufferable, maybe it’s not such a bad thing that Eastern animation tries to keep the target audience in mind. Sometimes stuff that is the coolest thing on earth to a 15 year old boy it’s just cringe to us adults.

    That’s fine, it’s not for us. There can be other media that’s meant for Us.



  • WordPress is an option, so is writefreely, but so is just using a normal activitypub compatible platform and just increase your maximum character limit.

    One thing with wordpress, make sure that you test it. I had one plug-in installed, and it claimed to be federating okay, but then I subscribed to my own feed and there was just nothing.







  • Cost of hosting an instance is highly variable based on the way it’s hosted, the size of the instance, and what sort of instance it is (since there’s many different kinds such as mastodon, peertube, Lemmy, etc)

    Self hosting from home can cost just the price of hardware and power. Once you outsource hosting as many large instances do the price starts to rise. It’s the large instances that start asking for donations as well, since it does cost more and more.

    The fediverse vs. Big tech is the tortoise and the hare. It keeps slowly growing and as big tech takes a nap under a tree and pisses more people off by making more bad decisions. There’s nothing fundamentally impossible about the concept – email is federated and most boomers are just fine with email.

    Does saying a false thing about COVID mean that everything you’ve ever said can now be banned everywhere forever?

    Since not every one of the guys songs were about COVID, but they were all taken down.

    Does this apply to disinformation like “If you get the vaccine you won’t get COVID”? How about “If you get the vaccine you won’t spread COVID to others”?

    One thing that most reddit alumni won’t care about, but one of the nicest things about doing it decentralized is censorship resistance.

    Bandcamp at some point decided that the political views of the artists on their platform are a reason to get rid of some artists.

    You might not see a problem since you agree with bandcamp’s politics, but companies change their politics on a dime when it becomes useful to do so.

    One problem with open source commercial sites is you’re typically going to need business partners to handle credit card transactions.
