An interesting quote from @geerlingguyJeff Geerling .

The TL;DR is that — for him to use PeerTube or any other Fediverse alternative to YouTube — he would need to be able to make a living from it.

He is not the only one who has expressed this sentiment.

This is something I have been thinking about and talking a lot about for a while now.

(I know I am not the only one.)

Alternatives

I've been slowly uploading my back catalog to my channel on Floatplane, though not all my content is there yet.

Some in the fediverse ask why I'm not on Peertube. Here's the problem (and it's not insurmountable): right now, there's no easy path towards sustainable content production when the audience for the content is 100x smaller, and the number of patrons/sponsors remains proportionally the same.

I was never able to sustain my open source work based on patronage, and content production is the same—just more expensive to maintain to any standard (each video takes between 10-300 hours to produce, and I have a family to feed, and US health insurance companies to fund).

YouTube was, and still is, a creative anomaly. I'm hugely thankful to my Patreon, GitHub, and Floatplane supporters—and I hope to have direct funding fully able to support my work someday. But until that time, YouTube's AdSense revenue and vast reach is a kind of 'golden handcuff.'

The handcuff has been a bit tarnished of late, however, with Google recently adding AI summaries to videos—which seems to indicate maybe Gemini is slurping up my content and using it in their AI models?

Maybe the handcuffs are fools-gold, and I just don't see it yet.

I figured a tool to migrate across federated networks would be technically possible, but I never would’ve guessed it would be available so soon! Well, it’s not available yet, but I’m glad to see this is happening!

And I think it’ll work with without much effort, if any effort at all!

A great video about the Community Moderation Features in .

I love PieFed. It has many great features, well implemented, and is easy, and fun, to use. If you want to start a community, it's a great application to start it in. And good moderation features are vital for managing a community.

And every day PieFed is much better than the prior day because the development team, no lie, comes out with new features daily along with bug fixes and improvements. Actually, it's breathtaking speed. I usually pull new updates twice daily. The other day I had to do it 5 times in one day!

Anyway, here's a 7.5 minute overview of the Community Moderation Features.

A tour of the community moderation features in PieFed

This is a public PieFed instance. We are administrated in the Boston, MA, area but open to everybody in the galaxy.PieFed is a platform where you can create and join communities centered around shared interests. Within these communities, you can post text, links, images, and videos, and then discuss them with each other. Unlike platforms owned by a single company, PieFed is built and governed by its various communities, offering a different way for people to connect and share.If you are familiar with Reddit, Piefed is similar, but instead of focusing the most on investors and profits, it serves its users. There is no advertising. It runs solely on donations, developer and Admin out-of-pocket contributions.何でも探求し、何でも議論しよう ここは公開のPieFedインスタンスです。管理はマサチューセッツ州ボストン地域で行っていますが、世界中の人々に向けて開かれています。 PieFedは、共通の興味を中心としたコミュニティを作成したり、参加したりできるプラットフォームです。これらのコミュニティ内では、テキスト、リンク、画像、動画を投稿し、それらについて互いに議論することができます。単一の企業が所有するプラットフォームとは異なり、PieFedは様々なコミュニティによって構築および管理されており、人々がつながり、共有するための異なる方法を提供しています。 スラドをご存知の方なら、PieFedはその性質が似ていますが、投資家や利益を最優先するのではなく、ユーザーのために尽くします。広告はありません。寄付と開発者/管理者の自費によってのみ運営されています。About · Performance Stats · Privacy Policy· Donate

“Trump and Musk aren’t really fighting, it’s a show, it’s kayfabe” right I am sure two of the most unpleasant, arrogant, deranged billionaires on Earth, each of whom thought up till now that he was billing and using the other, can’t *really* hate each other or genuinely be airing their dirty laundry in public.

Hackers' Pub에 공유할 수 있는 초대 링크 기능을 추가했습니다. 설정 → 초대 페이지에서 초대 링크 생성이 가능하며, 초대 링크는 정원이나 유효 기간, 메시지를 정할 수 있게 되어 있습니다. 아무래도 DM으로 직접 초대 요청을 달라고 하면 쑥스러움이 많은 분들은 요청을 안 하시는 경우가 많은 것 같아서 만들게 되었습니다. 참고로, 초대 링크를 통해 가입한 사용자는 초대 링크를 생성한 사람과 자동으로 맞팔하게 됩니다.
