Also stopped using Insta after the fuckers randomly blocked me and demanded access to my ID to release. I’m not giving them my passport just so I can doomscroll.
I dumped Twitter in the first wave after Elon took over and found a new home on Mastodon. Deleted my Reddit accounts during the API crisis (I still visit but no longer contribute) and spend some time on Lemmy (haven’t yet found the community to be as engaging). Sadly there isn’t a viable alternative for YouTube yet.
When is this out? I feel like I’ve run out of good TV at the moment!
I guess the Axolotls are totally fucked now then ☹️
If it makes you feel better I have a presentation to deliver in three weeks and so far I have created the deck in Google docs and given it a name. I’ve known about this for a month.
You go girlfriend!
FRANK AND BEEAAAAAAANS!
If you want to do AA without the god bit, the Satanic Temple has something called Sober Faction (in case you didn’t know, Satanic Temple is an atheist organisation and doesn’t actually worship Satan)
The priest one that has a small child attached at the waist. I have a sick sense of humour
The theme song from Enterprise (“Where my heart will take me” by Russel Watson). So many Trekkies seem to hate this song but I genuinely love it. I normally skip through the intro songs to most Trek shows but this one I sit through every time (and I have the song in a number of my playlists).
Also Blood and Glitter by Lord of the Lost. Every year I listen to a playlist of Eurovision songs for fun. LOTL have stuck with me (and I’m going to see them live soon!!)
Yeah the scale of infrastructure needed for video hosting at a scale needed for creators to move over is nutso. The creators won’t move without the audience, the audience won’t move without the creators. Only way it could work is if another “megacorp” decided to take on YouTube and incentivised creators to move.
Pretty much only Apple and Microsoft have the funds to pull that off.
