Honestly half of the list sounds like trolling.

Have you ever verified that?

I don’t feel something like crowdsourced tagging would work for the Fediverse unless it has some sort of approval system built for either post’s author or commuity admins (and those are already busy). Otherwise it would be far too easy to do things like brigading, or pushing government-style “self-censorship” (or straight out censorship of others: just get an army of bots “volunteers” into one instance, let the resulting blocks federate). Something closer to AO3 style tagging, where the author retains most control but readers can add tags to things that are valid only to them (and maybe to people they share data with too?) should workbetter IMO.

Blocking keywords is not reliable to block topics because a keyword does not a topic make, for example in this post I mention queer, socialism, musk and islam yet it’s not topical to any of those things.

Terrified Blanco

Well yeah, it means the system can’t keep torrentin’ stuff!

i am un-admining

Pretty much this. I just manually handle stuff when needed. I already work at IT so this feels quite liberating, the last thing I want is to annoy myself more, and the stuff I manage is not Critical™.

Easy money, easy power, easy delusions of grandeur I’m guessing. Pick any two of three.

…Huh, it seems I’m quite out of date with the advantages of opus then!

what is the endgame of this cat and mouse game?

Same as usual: the mouse loses unless it assembles and unionizes with other mouses and they bring in a guillotine.

on the scale of YouTube

That’s precisely the trick. Don’t try to copy Youtube. You’re gonna lose. And it’s not the Peertube intended use case anyway.

Instead, Peertube and other such platforms should work as cross-indexing domain-specific, configuration-specific video galleries. A retro videogame video archive does not need 4K 120fps Dobly 14.3 audio; they can just encode most of everything in 480i 30fps and their storage costs will go down significantly. A news report / news reel archive can save some costs by encoding as SDR (or even lower) with ~80kbps mono MP3 audio or somesuch, since most of everything past the intro jingle is human voice.

Play to your advantages. Trying to break into a monopoly game where the rules are broken, the only other player is broken, and the entry fees are broken is self-defeating.

May this be the hoped-for token of enshittification that will spring Peertube and other platforms upwards!

I hope we don’t kill this like how we kill Mozilla when it makes a plan to make money.

Dissolving a collonialist state doesn’t sound bad tbh.

What? Not tell them? But governments love information!

Nothing less to expect from a neo-fascist country like Spain, tbh. They also deny Cataluña the right of cultural self-determination, to the point of not even being able to use signage in their own language.

Oh btw: Proton collaborates with them.

as with F------k, R----t, T-----r

My dude. My gal. Sibling of my Fediverse. We are in the Fediverse. You don’t need to tiktok-censorship yourself like that. You don’t need to fallback to 2000s cringe. Embrace the Fediverse. Embrace the truth.

That’s quite senseful yes. In the cases where I want to host somewhere that already has a Postgres service going, I just up and use that.

…How come so few people are using SQLite?

It’s on poob. Poob has it for you.

Someone is projecting, I see.
