Midas says “hello”.

People don't want the truth, they want easy answers that they can digest and make them feel better about themselves.

What they don't want is complicated answers that force them into self reflection.

More's the pity.

So today I am opening my #PeerTube instance to limited registration.

At this moment I'm looking to add 4 new people. New users will be given 5 gigs to start with. More may be given according to need and finances. Live streaming IS available.

I'm looking for people who want to create content for PeerTube, not people who just want to use it as a backup for their YouTube channel.

If you are interested, just register at https://dudelike.wtf and I will select 4 in the next 7 days.

@gemlog I’ve made it clear on my instance that I’m only looking to bring in 4 new people. Registration is set for approval by admin. So I should be okay. Thanks for looking out for me!

Question for any #PeerTube users or instance owners who have opened registration to the public.

What is the average amount of storage space given per account?

I’m thinking of opening up my instance for new registration, and I want to know what the average space given is so that I can know how many people I can accept at my current storage size.

Thanks in advance. (please boost for visibility.)

Nothing makes a PeerTuber feel more valid then when someone boosts their videos and shares them with others.

Oh, and also when people actually WATCH the video. Yeah, that means a lot too.

(You might be surprised at how many more people boost #PeerTube videos but don't actually watch them.)

Post Malone may be a fantastic artist but his popularity is nothing compared to the holiday movie made by his brother Ho.

I just want to give a little shout out to all of the people out there on the Fedi, who post a little about their daily lives but mostly enjoy reading the timeline that they’ve curated and favoriting and boosting as they go.

You are the unsung heroes of Mastodon and the Fediverse.

I see you, and appreciate you. Thank you for your time and efforts.

Sorry/not sorry but I’ve still never forgiven Geordi for interrupting Data when he was laughing after Q gave it to him as a parting gift.

“What are you laughing at Data?”

Fucking dick. Let him enjoy the moment.

All holidays should be on Fridays because I can never remember what day of the week it is the next day.

Confirming my belief that all the smart people came to the Fedi.

@Gargron Thanks for all of your work.

@rootsandcalluses It only happened to me when I moved my videos from one instance to another via url.

@rootsandcalluses Yeah I've read others complain about this too. Must be a big of some sort. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Ladies and gentleman if you'll look out to the right you'll see Mastodon and in just a few seconds we'll come upon the Jon Mastodon Memorial statue that stands on its highest hill.

At this time, the flight attendants will be passing out shitposts to each one of you to read as we fly above its many instances.

Feel free to share your shitposts with other passengers.

Thank you for flying Fedi-airlines.

Look Charley Brown, at some point, you have to blame yourself for continuously trusting Lucy with that football.

I get that you hope she'll do the right thing THIS TIME but we both know she doesn't have it in her, so why keep running towards the ball?

@RickiTarr I've been thinking about this a lot recently. My daughter is 26 years old and I'm pretty sure the only things she knows about me is exactly what everyone else knows about me.

Which is barely scratching the surface.

But it's not that I haven't tried imparting my philosophy, how I see the world, what helps me get through it, why I treat others the way that I do and so on.

She just doesn't care.

And I realize, that neither did I when it came to my own parents.

Is that normal? 🤷

So I'd like to discuss something that I've been noticing on the Fedi, (Mastodon in particular), and I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing?

Boosting.

When Mastodon was smaller, boosting was seen as the life blood of the place. Having no algorithm meant that if you saw something fun or interesting, you boosted it so that others could see it as well.

And then Twitter became a dumpster fire and Mastodon had a growth spurt.
