I’ve been thinking a bit about this the past several weeks. Here’s how I think we can get useful content on Peertube, quickly:
Contact creators who make specifically non-monetized content and see if they are willing to post on Lemmy too. New content, and we could offer to post their existing content on Peertube for them
Early YouTube content. There was some scare a while back about YouTube videos older than three years being removed. Turned out to be a misunderstanding, but it reinforced that Google can remove old content whenever they want, for whatever reason they want.
Provide continual support (if necessary) for content creators who want to post on PeerTube. For instance, a creator may say “Sure, you can post what you want, just provide attribution. But you’re going to need to post it on there yourself.”
Some things we don’t want to get into:
Ability for anyone to post. We’d have a moderation nightmare and we don’t have the resources to deal with it. Trolls posting garbage or CSAM. We need the Peertube instance intensely curated/moderated. -Re-posting content that is monetized on other platforms. We don’t have legal resources to deal with takedown complaints. We need explicit permission from creators for everything we upload.
Those are the thoughts I’ve had. I think it leads to an instance with good, curated content. Limited in how it’s used, but I think that’s the best for now.
I don’t like the “attention token” nonsense—I turn that off—but I love Brave and its search engine. It is cool to have a search engine return results that are actually different than other SE’s and have those results be very good.
In fact, I find its results to often be better than the big search engines because results aren’t overtuned for SEO
Yeah in a way it was was a win-win. We all find a community we like more. Reddit maintains an enormous user base. I’ve found I no longer care what they do because I like this place better anyway.
Ok so what I do is I grab all the cords as tightly as I can against my body, then roll duct tape around it. Make a couple passes to really squeeze down the size. Also get a bright color tape so you can see the cords later. I use neon orange
I play a video game (usually a retro one) on a low difficulty level. Then beat the computer over and over again. Bonus points if it’s a game I usually avoid because it’s too hard.
Gives a constant feeling of satisfaction at beating the computer over and over.
