I've looked at peertube a few times, and everytime I do, it seems to be filled with nothing but videos about the latest cryptoscamcoin. I have zero interest in that at all. Until they get content worth watching, it's not going to happen.

And people wonder why I prefer forums. The "Discordifcation" of everything is out of control.
undefined> I disagree, once your open source project “sprouts wings” you enter an unspoken power battle
You've seen Hackers one too many times. Again you can run your instance however you want, and can defederate from instances that don't implement things they way you are demanding they should, but you do not dictate how others (or the developers) run things.
The beauty of open source is you can always fork your own. The beauty of federation is you can block whoever you want or whatever instance you want.
Other than that, you have no right to demand anything of anyone.
I find myself really ticked off at other Admin’s abdication of duty when it comes to engaging with the developers.
Abdication of duty? Seriously? Do you think this is a job for people? Or that people that want a privacy related instance are "abdicating their duty" by not using captcha? Talk about hyperbole.
Run your instance how you want. Raise an issue with the devs if you want. Throw a fit if you want. But do not attempt to tell others how to run their instances or talk for other people and their "duties" when it comes to their own servers.
There's probably a matrix instance someplace, which would be my personal preference. Maybe someone has some suggestions.
It can also be self hosted, but I'm sure there are hosted instances out there for this kind of thing already.
Zuckerberg’s company is already courting celebrities and influencers to test the app.
Even if it was someone other than Zuckerberg doing this, reading this bit would immediately turn me off to the platform.
I guess I'm old enough to have gone through they heyday of the internet at an impressionable time in my life, but I have zero time for influencers or opinions by celebrities on literally anything.
You're showing up on my personal instance.
Things do sometimes take a bit to come across, and I tend to get a bunch of posts from a single instance come in at one. It does make a bit of a pain at times as I won't see anything at all from an instance, then my front page fills up with nothing but posts from one community within an instance (that's how I came across this thread).
I was going to include that, however in my literal minute of searching him, I couldn't find a verified source. I will admit, I didn't try ~~very hard~~ at all so I may have just overlooked it.
But yes, he needs step 0 as well!
Holy crap, this man does not have an original thought in his head does he?
He thinks he'll become the next Musk by emulating the next Musk. Only problem is, he skipped steps 1-10 which involve owning a company (X.com) that another merges with (Confinity) which becomes a huge company (Paypal) that gets bought out by a massive company (Ebay).
Then you can start acting like a massive asshole while throwing money at everything.
Unfortunately, Spez doesn't realize steps 1-10 exist, and thinks he can just treat everyone like shit and have people think (at least for a while) that he's a genius. Also forgets about steps 11-200 which is to surround yourself with brilliant people that can build your shit so you become more rich. Then you can become the asshole everyone hates.
Sadly Spez is on step 200+ without the cash from steps 1-199 and has surrounded himself by "yes men" instead of brilliant people that know what the fuck they are doing, which leads him to by whatever next big think like Twitter was will be.
Well well well, what a nice vacuum cleaner!
r/Wellthatsucks is now a subreddit about vacuum cleaners.
I love it
I wonder how many of those reddit premium members have cancelled their subscriptions. I know I did. I had premium for years as it seemed like a good way to give a little bit back to a site I was using multiple times a day, every day. As soon as Spez started his bullshit I cancelled it and won't be back.
