...and the artists get peanuts.

I listen to a lot of music. like, a lot. and yet from my calculations the artist I've listened to the most during that year still didn't get even a dollar from my listens. and with how absolutely garbage the Spotify app has become, I've resorted to just archiving my entire collection online in lossless format and buying albums I particularly like on Bandcamp every now and then. it costs me less than an ongoing subscription because one purchase is just one or two month's worth of Spotify Premium, I get to keep the music even if the service goes down, I don't have podcasts that I don't want shoved in my face, and the artists I like actually get something from me.

Gab and Truth.social are forks of Mastodon, but I don't see "Mastodon is full of alt-right garbage people" as an argument against using it anywhere. probably because they're unconnected from everyone else.

my dad said the same thing!

UH OH

if only there was a way for admins of an instance to block federation with certain instances, we could call it "unconnecting"

have you considered that a platform for sharing short, vertical videos, developed by a single person, perhaps isn't trying to become a "serious competitor" for Youtube?

AI summaries of larger bodies of text work pretty well

the videos get automatically deleted after some time.

then go for it.

the archinstall script is officially supported and very straightforward. like, almost Calamares-but-in-TUI straightforward.

do you also think it's okay to, say, use an N-word for Black people who commit crimes?
