Web or iOS. I don’t care at all about feed discovery and am not in a position to self host. Probably should have said both things up at the top 😅 but on the bright side, people who do care ended up getting some recommendations they can use!
A lot of my videos get copyright concerns and get flagged on YouTube because there’s copyrighted music playing in the background, or it’s me or a friend performing a song. We’re not some cover band doing this for money, it’s literally just us doing it for our own pleasure and maybe sending it to a few of our friends. Whether the song is in the public domain or not, it always gets flagged. Part of why I want to move off is because I think this affects whether I can redownload my video or not. I’ve been using YouTube as a place to offload videos for awhile, so I probably won’t be able to redownload a lot of my videos.
I really don’t think I’m in a position to self-host. Thank you anyways!
What is “fuck-you personal”?
Honestly, the breaking point is the mild inconvenience I experienced today where I hit the video upload limit. I’ve got 9 videos I shot today that I need to upload, it only let me do 7. I could have gotten around this by filming everything as one or two continuous videos instead of 9 separate ones. I didn’t because I’ve never run into the limit before and was unaware it existed until today. I wanted to have them all up to share with my friends today (they do have a playlist link that the videos go into, but I wanted them all available today), but I have to wait for 24 hours 😒
Obsidian. Silver Bullet is a FOSS alternative, but I’m not sure if they do toggles or something that works like it. And I really like my toggle-like functionality. I happily use callouts to simulate toggles in Obsidian.
Ran into the same problem as you. Did not feel like making my 273828rd email and ended up not reporting a bug.
Hey, you might want to know you posted the same comment 6 times. I have heard of this happening to people using Lemmy apps.
The toughest part of signing up for Fediverse stuff for me is choosing which instance/server to sign up on. (Right now I’m trying to pick a Matrix “homeserver”.) Any recommendations? I like to go to some of the smaller ones to help out with decentralization, but not one so small it’ll probably only be up when the owner feels like it and not 24/7.
I find the numerous dialects of online English to be a fascinating topic that isn’t often considered.
Thank you for bringing this up, it’s an interesting read!
I liked Reddit possibly because my natural online dialect leans more formal, though I also understand Tumblr dialect and use it if I see the majority of others doing it.
On one hand I agree with not policing online dialects, but on another I’m thinking about common-sense consensus and the value of people speaking in an agreed-upon way to avoid misinterpretation and friction. Using emojis was never against the rules on Reddit even if people downvoted it a lot and discouraged it because they did not like it. Typing Like This All The Time Is Also Extremely Annoying, And At Least On Reddit Most People Would Agree With Me, Although It Could Be My Own Personal Biases And Judgment Towards Others Who Don’ts Speak Like Me Weaseling Its Way In. If enouGh of a coMmUnity deCides they doN ‘t. Like a CertaiN way of tyPing yoU end up with a rule enforced by practice if not by the actual rules, and by then why not make it ironclad in the actual rules so long as you allow for people learning the English language?
I feel like emojis can serve as useful tone markers. Like /s but for many different emotions and intentions than just sarcasm. “It’s raining today 😒” comes off differently than “it’s raining today 😊” does.
I also feel some people just use them for visual noise, and because emojis are “the thing the kids do” semi-relevant emojis get spammed where they aren’t needed. For example, “look at my cat 👀🐱🐾”. That annoys me. I admit maybe it’s just annoyance with no actual reasoning behind it. It might be annoyance a lot of other people share given how unpopular emojis were on Reddit.
I don’t think we need to be as emojiphobic as Reddit, but we probably ❓ don’t 🙅 want them spammed ✉️✉️✉️❌😠 everywhere 🌎🌍🌏 either.
Thank you for the reply!
This is what I mean by toggles.
Do you support MathJax/LaTeX, toggles, and embedding images? If so, I might just switch off of Obsidian.
In case anyone’s looking at this 3 months later, I finally got down to getting an RSS Feed Reader and downloaded NetNewsWire on my iPhone.
