Power Bot 'Em was a gem, I will say

Dropout, New Smosh and even most of the video essay YouTubers that are on Nebula would like to have a word with you

Every day the call of the high seas gets stronger.

No peaceful end of term, maybe. They might have to find out January 6th doesn’t just come once, and it doesn’t always have to be at the Capitol.

Heil five!

This is the video that led me to actually start taking a hard look at social media (I was already off of Instagram, but that was almost unconscious in that I just started loathing the app), and led me down the rabbit hole that eventually led me to Lemmy!

I think decades of minimalist, ‘intuitive’ interfaces that abstract what’s going on in the background have made us too lazy to go beyond the bare minimum to switch platforms in general.

A common criticism I saw of the fediverse was the fact that you have to decide on an instance. As if any significant part of your life doesn’t require a certain amount of research before making a decision. We all just buy the car that the dealership tells us to buy, of course.

I remember reading a book that talked about public spaces and how we often think of malls as public spaces, but they have so many restrictions and ulterior motives that it doesn’t really hold.

They’re essentially the irl equivalent of centralised social media platforms. I hope once the fediverse really takes off, we can have ‘official’ platforms/instances that are run by governments that federate only to other ‘official’ ones. That seems like a better way to reach people, instead of Xitter.
