I mean, I pay for Nebula but honestly I don't even use it most of the time. The content is pretty limited, even if I do like a lot of it. I still end up on Youtube instead, just because that's where everyone posts.

There probably is some sort of middle-ground to be found. Maybe a niche website that takes certain kind of content and an audience specifically geared toward it, or one that's more community-oriented and takes steps to weed out the huge amount of AI content that's on Youtube at this point. I haven't really seen that actually work, yet, though. Maybe something like a Nebula or a Dropout but with better access for the average user who wants to post their own content would be a decent solution.

I haven't really seen Peertube do that, though.

To be fair, when it comes to youtube the engagement on alternatives doesn't exactly seem very robust. Somebody linked a peertube the other day saying it was a great one with a lot of content, and the vast majority of videos I saw on the front page had 0 views, with a handful having views in the single digits. That's not really a viable alternative for a site with hundreds of millions of potential viewers.

Those must be about McCain before his presidential run.

We've been together for a long time..

But picture this: not being together.

I challenge you to find me a circular fry made from potato.

Where the hell are the Cajun fries?

8, 5, 4, 2, 1, 7, 3, 6

Adding Cajun seasoning to 4, 2, 1, or 7 would raise it above the other 3 and make me unsure about whether to raise it above 5.

For real. Imagine not turning out to vote and then being shocked that nobody goes out of their way to cater their platform to you.

This is me. Literally any time a day I could be just getting up or just going to sleep or in the middle of my day or in the middle of my sleep.

Trains not planes is a much more reasonable and practical way to get people behind building more railways than planes not cars. We can talk planes not cars once some of the initial infrastructure is in place, but I think focusing on replacing something people hate (flying) rather than replacing something they like (driving) is probably a good place to start.
