Aral and I have spoken before! Aral used to stream on Owncast where I first met him, do you still do those streams Aral? :-)

Do you think Kitten would be a good use case for BT Free dot org?

No worries in the least! :-) I just want to make sure I’m on the same page as you! :-D Thank you for the info!

I shall check into it! Thank you! :-)

Agreed. And even if 1 instance goes down, if another instance is following, it’s still there. It’s potentially the strongest off site backup ever.

That’s fair. I love Valve’s Steam as well. :-)

You’re referring to https://gohugo.io/ the static site generator?

Sending best of vibes to you.

Best way imo is to talk to folks. Find a mentor. Even folks I never thought would know about X had thoughts or suggestions. Hell my wife just helped me with a thumbnail and she’s not an artist, but she’s been doing school presentations and had massively useful constructive criticism. :-)

I don’t LOVE business personally lol :-D but I do love the Fediverse and I’m going to attempt to “business” it at least. :-D NonProfit, because we’ve been down the route of Profit before and we saw where that got us.

Yeah, I’ve heard folks use Wordpress and it has a Fediverse Plugin now. And it can be selfhosted? I’ll check it out! Thank you! :-)

Block them. I can’t do anything about the bullies, I won’t bully anyone and if it comes off as bullying, maybe there’s a misunderstanding from me.

We can only build our communities how we want them and ignore the rest. Bullying is going to happen sadly, but we have the opportunity to push that shit away and build a welcoming and wholesome community.

We’ll disagree sometimes, but we need to do our best to be as respectful as possible.

I’ll say this, Owncast has quite a few streamers into music as well. A lot of folks looked for alternative music making platforms during Covid, because as Gabe Kangas told me, Twitch was cracking down while everyone was home. Maybe check there as well for a community?

I agree! <3 :-) And it’s our chance to rebuild the internet!

Preservation is so MASSIVELY important imo atm. With Internet Archive under fire, Reddit and Twitter closing APIs, Google shutting down fucking everything, we need OUR internet, not theirs and we need to protect that which is precious to us.

100% more humanity!

That’s ok! It happens. maybe fokls don’t know it exists! Are there other communities that align with beat making? Maybe start there and talk with folks there?
