Group hug!
A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny… Let’s have it!

I’m a member of the Church of Bill & Ted.
Report it - people jumping straight to insults are trying to shut discussion down which really isn’t acceptable.
Yeah, let’s show them! … how to be decent human beings by example.
Can confirm. When we took over the running of feddit.uk migrating the images took forever as it was around 300GB.
Perhaps Friendica because it plays nicely with following groups (Threadiverse) and profiles (most of everything else).
You might be able to self-host WordPress if it is just a matter of importing. As WP is federated, you can, presumably cross-post it from there.
I hope people keep maintaining international trade relations, or else polititians may exploit it to push nationalism.
Oh indeed, we’re part of the larger !buyeuropean@feddit.uk movement, unfortunately, post-Brexit it will cost us more.
And we support FOSS from anywhere.
*The exception is buying goods from your close proximity, which might be environmentally beneficial
Yeah, you do want to reduce the air miles and your carbon footprint.
Got to support those penguins.
I can do but I thought that was for giving established communities a bit of love.
Time for a Ghost community?
Let me know if I can post the link. I don’t want to self promote of that’s not what folks are looking for here.
Go for it.
Although, looking around, this channel has a “support” button with PayPal and Patreon links. It’s a little crude but works.
For ease of use, it probably has to be a bit slicker and “one-click” but it’s a start.
And content? I’ve only just started using it properly recently (here) but was happy to see a channel putting out trailers:
I was wondering about jailbreaking trailers from YouTube but, apparently, the studios own the copyright. I don’t think they care about YouTube channels uploading them because it is extra publicity but it is a legally gray area.
without ad revenue or subscription revenue I don’t know how quality content can come to PeerTube.
I saw a video where a YouTube channel broke down their income (I’ll try and find it but there are probably similar ones out there) and the amount coming directly from ads was quite small. Other sources of money include:
Like Spotify, the cut from streaming isn’t great but those on it can leverage their profile in other ways.
The Fediverse still has a bit of a problem with monetisation but Ghost is working on joining and that is the equivalent of Substack with different subscription levels and I think most Fediverse services could do something similar. So Peertube could build in a “subscribe” button so people who enjoy your content could sign up to throw you a buck a month. Obviously a similar system could be added to the instance so you could donate to them, as hosting video is expensive.
I do wonder if we need a FediPay/PayFed service that other services could just plug in, so you’d have a central account across your Fediverse identities - subscribing on Pixelfed could get you subscriber exclusive Peertube content.
Welcome to The Weaselverse.
Orrrrr Friendica.
Huh, I’d never heard of the Indieweb
Yes, there may be existing options - PieFed has an image view and I suspect the *key forks could be made to do something similar.
The way I see it - the early adopters set the tone of a place and new arrivals are more likely to adopt that approach. So it is important to be kind now, so people will be kind later.
