Good. Good. Good. Good. Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Good. Good. Good. Good.

I know Louis is/was on Odyssey. Anyone know if he’s on Peertube or has had any thoughts about Peertube?

Submitted PR to resolve this: https://framagit.org/framasoft/peertube/instances-peertube/-/merge_requests/15

Thank you so much! It’s nice to know others agree. I’ve been so concerned with all of this, thinking I’m the only one thinking this, but I’m not. We’re ALL thinking this. And I’ve been having an absolute BLAST. Not just for myself, but doing my Fireside Fedi show and even working towards setting up my nonprofit BT Free. We’ll see where it all goes. Maybe it just us, but at least we have each other. :-) Thank you for the kind words of support. <3

I’m more just trying to get a very quick site set up. I made a super basic page ATM. I’ll revisit it later to try to make something much nicer or hire someone. Multiple folks have mentioned drupal so I’ll have to give it more of a look. Thank you for the feedback. :-)

AH! “You need to wait 24 hours after a peertube restart to see a peertube auto follow.” And I just restarted it yesterday thinking a restart would force an auto follow job. :-D

Thank you SO MUCH! :-) I’ll update later today then! EXCITING! :-D

Thank you for the info. I’ve unfollowed everyone and set my instance to pull from ptindex.btfree.org and it’s not autofollowing yet. So either I messed something up or it’s on a timer. I have a question into the Matrix channel. Gonna let it go a few days, then next week I’ll dig into it more and open a git question about it. I’ll definitely update here what I find out! Thank you!

And great idea about cross posting. I always forget about that, not used to this style. :-)

That’s AMAZING! Thank you so much sir! :-)

This sounds very interesting. What is the purpose of the hash?

Dansup talked about actually doing a centralized CDN to reduce storage, storage an image in one place so any instance can use it instead of everyone hosting their own. You could still host your own as well though.

This seems seems not that. This is just the hash right, so not certain what hashes do in the Fedi.

Thank you though!

Every little bit counts.

Yup, I know. But TILVids for instance was doing that and Youtube blocked them. So now they can’t. Google is going to attempt to keep what they consider to be “their” data in their data center and keep us out. That’s why we need a way for Youtubers to upload to Youtube AND other platforms at the same time.

Awesome! Thank you!

I’d say leave it. I don’t know about at Facebook, but lots of companies still have that data in their database. They just remove publicly facing versions or index to it. And even if they do remove it they’d have backups and wont go through every backup ever to remove your info. So you’ll always be in there. And even if for some reason they close, they’ll sell all that data to someone else. We have digital ghosts floating everywhere. Don’t give them anymore pieces of you. Just walk away and never look back IMO.

Sounds like a great idea

Silly question, I’ve heard of flair from the other place, but honestly never used it. Is their a flair explainer somewhere? Is it for posts only? Or do users get it to?

I don’t know anything about Drupal. I shall look at it. Right now to get up and running I’m thinking of just running a SSG like Pelican. Especially since the Dev is on the Fediverse. :-D

I know a silly reason to pick it, but I’m a Fedi Lover lol. :-)

Thank you for the info though. I’ll definitely look more into it. And thank you so much for the very deeply detailed response! :-)

Downvotes are because a lot of folks are against ChatGPT and LLMs. We’re going through MANY information transitions in the last 40 years and yet another holy grail is difficult to swallow. If you want to ask ChatGPT that’s fine, but I’m trying to get folks to foster the Fediverse and make it more welcoming, more valuable, and heck just help people find us. Use the tools you want, absolutely. But we also need to find ways to help promote the Fediverse.

Hey thanks! Just a point of advice starting a conversation with “that’s fucking stupid” isn’t exactly seen as useful or helpful information. I’m just attempting to start conversations and help promote the fediverse so that it continues to grow. If you want to offer any helpful advice instead of being negative, that’s be great.

Kalvin I recommend you just block people and if their instance harasses you you can report them. While they might own their instance your instance, Lemmy.world might ban their entire instance and then they’re totally gone.

Here’s a thought, maybe not harass someone? Try to be kind and compassionate? You have 3 people on your instance, so I imagine that’s just you or a friend’s. Kalvin could of and looking at the comments here alone, should have, reported you to Lemmy.world and they could ban your entire instance. So why not just try to actually get along with folks?

Wow so surprising, never saw this coming, this is my surprised face. :-l
