Libertarian has another meaning outside of the American Libertarian Party.

There should be an option for these two communities to sync each other.

I could see a patreon/floatplane style system where you only get the livestreams if you pay, or video releases are delayed for a week if you don’t pay. Video sponsorships also make more money than Youtube ads I think.

The compute is getting cheap now too. By the end of this year, you’ll be able to slap a couple of these in a CoLo for a few grand, and then be able to transcode hundreds of videos at once.

You’d be able to compete with 2nd tier streaming services like Nebula or Floatplane at that level.

But yeah, it’s hard to get to Youtube/Netflix efficiency at a small scale, you just can’t get the specialized hardware needed to do all the hardware transcoding and DMA media serving that they do. But we’re getting there.

Ah ok. Yeah, I just found out about Pleroma today so I thought it might be good to know.

Pleroma supports the Mastodon UI btw.

The biggest surprise for many is that Pleroma includes the Mastodon UI, too. As the Mastodon UI is mostly just another API client, it will run fine on Pleroma. As you can see in the screenshot, you can use it quite well on any Pleroma instance. We bundle it with Pleroma, so you don’t need to install anything new.

I saw a comparison here between the Fediverse and other federated services like emails and POTS. I think there are a lot of similarities, but if that’s true, the Fediverse still has a long way to go before it matures like traditional federated services like email. Things like spamlists and increased interoperability will be needed eventually.

At least in the short-term, I think Lemmy has a good base here to take over from Reddit, and the increased focus will help the Fediverse mature further. Lemmy won’t be another Voat.

The irony of people downvoting this because they disagree with you 😅 Does Reddiquette still apply here?
