How can it be abused and to what end? You can go to any (instanceurl)/instances to see what it's federated to.

That's very useful, thank you @Nerd02@lemmy.basedcount.com

Just to note if copying the URL you have to strip off the https:// or else it won't work (maybe people just don't copy that these days, but I ran in to that problem anyway).

A bit different - Tasting History with Max Miller https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsaGKqPZnGp_7N80hcHySGQ

Also a bit different - Atomic Shrimp https://www.youtube.com/user/AtomicShrimp - not purely a cooking channel, but he has some interesting cooking videos.

The Sun is not exactly a reputable source for anything.

I might be an outlier since I listen to most of my podcasts at home on my desktop. I subscribe to RSS feeds in Thunderbird, download and play them on VLC. Since I'm a bit of a hoarder I also like to create my own offline archive folders of favourite podcasts which is often harder to do with a dedicated app.

If I'm on the go, I use AntennaPod from F-Droid.

Oh, I wouldn't really count that since it's contained within one instance. If every time an instance does something unpopular it counts as drama, across thousands of instances there will always be drama.

Out of the loop, what drama?

Is that really an accurate description though? Do people primarily use it to find links, or to have discussions? I think more the latter.

Short memory, you said:

The USA, for all its faults, remains the standard against which other countries measure themselves (and find themselves lacking).

"What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence" (Hitchen's razor), you made the claim.

The USA, for all its faults, remains the standard against which other countries measure themselves (and find themselves lacking).

This statement - do you not see how that's an incredibly arrogant and patronising thing to assert?
