Do you remember Vidme? that one YouTube alternative from like 2016. it looked really promissing and nice because it wasn’t just full of right wing people. Some P0rn company bought their domain, so all old articles talking about that site now link to that lmao. #contentcreators
The hidden folk at #Yuletide. I retell two related #folktales and speculate about what they say about contemporary society.
I recorded the episode and mentioned the then current state of the pending #VolcanicEruption in #Iceland. While I was doing so, an eruption started. I added a note on this before I uploaded it to Patreon. Now that I am releasing it for everyone, the eruption seems to be over.
In this episode I decided to recommend #PodcastAntenna. I also talked about #RSS and the important role it plays in #podcasts.
I think #ContentCreators should help their audience understand their medium and also point them towards better solutions for accessing content.
RSS is the reason why podcasting is the only medium that is wide reaching and distributed. The corporations want to put podcasts in a walled garden. They (e.g. #Spotify) have tried and though they failed they will try again.
This is an old but excellent video about how platforms are made and who chooses to use them.
I see a lot of the growing pains in the Twitter-Exodus here, and how Mastodon fits in (especially with people who refuse to recognize on-boarding regular users as a real problem).
Enjoy, or don't, but I suspect you'll feel informed anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3snVCRo_bI #socialMedia#mastodon#youtube#videoHosting#contentCreators
Hey it's me again, og members of this instance check my blog for hints.
I'm Rob, I have a thing for #flowers you can consider this my #introduction I guess. I use to use post news content, on here and other instances but lately i'm just looking more into #entertainment and #anime content. But with a catch, i'm torturing myself for a few months and my entertainment sources can only come from #peertube Meaning alot of the #content tends to be #fanmade#animations but you'd think there would be less, and less quality #contentcreators but shocked that there are some actual good content creators on Peertube.
surprisngly, Peertube actually works well for entertainment. and I have a way to make Peertube more accessible for people who just want to view #channels from Peertube but don't care about joining a #server .
"Stay tuned" for that.
Isn't that like what they used to say on the tv? Leaving it unedited.
oh and, can't tell you how much I apreciate the 3000 characters here.
Thanks to YouTube, the corporate term “content” now dominates the vocabulary for online media and is expanding into broader societal use. This reductionist term, which equates large, serious projects with your recent post about what you had for breakfast, has many downsides. This video argues that “content creation” is bad news for us all.

Attention all you fabulous consumers here for that twitter replacement. Do you miss your boot licking racist anti vaxxer uncle on Truth? Do you miss your racist transphobe parents and fascist in-laws on facebook? Do you miss your data being sold to engorge good old fashioned entrepreneurial corporations who are people too? Are there just not enough clout chasing influencer talking heads of Massoc for you to idolise and infinitely quote toot content swipe???
Well.... Meta in association with Maston Inc are excited to bring you the most vapid, one way fire hose, worst engagement ratio you have EVER seen!

Meta's Mastodon - Fedi2 Gargamel's Boogaloo!
[star wipe]
If you come from a big Mastodon instance like mastodon social you have most likely never experienced or heard of the fediverse or fediquette. Good, forget those anti growth weirdos! You will have never experience a loving, useful, supportive and meaningful local feed. Well chuck that socialist crap out the window! Now with Meta's Mastodon you will never even be able to load 2 seconds worth of the local timeline or .002 seconds worth of the corporate allies feed. How will we do it you ask? volume Volume VOLUME BABY!
{star wipe]
Coming soon!... but in the meantime you can show your support with awesome phrases like:
"Mastodon needs to grow"
and
"I think we should give Meta a chance you have no idea what they are going to do"
and
"Mastodon is 3% fat free"
or best of all
"You are just using words as 'violence' claiming Meta has ever harmed anyone, your facts are just opinions so respect mine"
[drum laser tom roll]

So come on bros and content creators. Grow your following with Meta's Mastodon!
[star wipe]
BE THERE!!!

#Mastodon tried hard to kneecap social discovery on the #Fediverse in the name of preventing toxicity and abuse.
Little did they know that lack of social discovery would be a catalyst for toxicity and abuse.
It’s this lack of social discovery that causes Reply Guys to randomly pop into threads with neither sensitivity nor context, demanding people educate them on things when they’re called out on bad behaviour.
If only these people would read threads before talking—but they don’t because social discovery is kneecapped on Mastodon.
@atomicpoet
an addendum to this idea, which I agree with (hence the boost). I understand that a lot of masto users want to keep their posts from being easily searchable outside of their pre-approved pool--and that's great, more power to them. certainly I have posts sometimes I don't want any random person seeing and turning into a "reply guy" on.
but on th he other hand, some of us WANT our posts to show up for others, namely #contentCreators like me. I don't put 20+ hours into filming a video essay extolling the values of #feminism, #lgbtq#genderEquality, etc for just a small handful of existing supporters to watch. and people who are interested in finding more material on a certain subject (outside of programming and infosec 😜) are going to quickly give up on mastodon if every time they search for something like, say, #vidcon, they get no results.
if the goal is really to encourage others to leave "siloed" mainstream platforms, there has to be content here to fill the void that the corrupt platforms currently fill (at the expense of personal data and arbitrary #censorship). it's like saying "don't go to McDonald's, come to this amazing mom. and pop restaurant instead!" but there is no visible menu and you have to know someone who knows someone that knows what the restaurant offers to even order food in the first place.
BTW putting hashtags in front of things like I did in this post makes me want to vomit, because it feels like I'm trying to be a sell out, but I have to do it if I want to open up the conversation for people who don't already follow @atomicpoet or people who boost him?)
So, this is kind of cool. You might use the "# Explore" button to see recent popular posts people are boosting and liking. This shows posts from all over the Fediverse that are "gaining traction" on YOUR server.
But you can also see which posts are popular among people on OTHER servers by editing the URL. For instance:
@mastodonmigration
hmm, would be great to find other video #contentcreators, preferably more than just the few on here doing infosec or programming oriented ones!
