Teenage me actually passed up the opportunity to buy the original CD press before the name change. Why? Because teenage me was 13 and had no idea what he was looking at, so he picked the one that said Jellÿ because that's what was on MTV.
You are lol. It's okay. Things are confusing at first.
Want an alt account for if .ee is down (or decide you want to make somewhere else your home)? Go to any other instance and make an account. Same username, different username, email, whatever. There's a backup/restore settings option in the web UI that you can use to port your subs etc over.
Want an alt account for porn? Sign up on lemmynsfw.com (or other instance that doesn't filter adult content). Username, email, all up to you.
e: Accounts on different instances are different entities
Then you can switch between accounts in Voyager using the... I completely forget how it's labeled but it's the middle button on the toolbar (e: user icon). It's seamless once you have it set up.
If you're still on iOS, the failed to load media bit is likely webm videos. As far as I know, Voyager uses the stock video viewer, which also has trouble with them (same as opening in safari etc.) Dunno if that's an Apple thing or a Google thing, licensing maybe? Mlem seems to handle them fine, but that is running its own renderer, which I believe Apollo did as well.
There's a lot of overlap between instances. It's messy. Subscribing to multiples will get you duplicates of a lot of posts, but only subscribing to one will miss some things, especially if it's a smaller community. Personally, I subscribe to niche/hobby content for the most part. Anything else I'll just use all/local, and block comms I'm not interested in. (Voyager's keyword filter also helps a lot, but good luck avoiding American politics even with blocks and filters.)
Was this corporate spokesperson authorized to talk to this outlet about this topic? Just because they're a spokesperson doesn't mean they can talk freely.
You're missing the part about public data. The CDC is legally required to post any data from studies conducted.
I mean, in general I agree, but the people directing this aren't exactly the rule-following type. Nor do they care about facts, truth, or integrity. Anything published will fit the narrative. Anything that doesn't fit the narrative will be blackholed.
