Can't figure out (or explain) what #PeerTube is, how it works and where to start?

With La Coop des Internets, we've revamped Joinpeertube.org to help you answer these questions!

Learn more about our approach : ➡️ https://framablog.org/2022/11/29/to-understand-and-get-started-with-peertube-check-out-the-new-joinpeertube-org/

Our goal is for this new Joinpeertube.org to become the gateway to PeerTube, and to welcome content creators (and content enjoyers), without jargon or technical requirements!

#ChaosMagic isn’t defined by sigils, servitors or summoning Superman. It’s not “git’ ard“ magick, immenitizing the eschaton or ignoring the past.

It’s about defining success on your own terms.

Reject monetisation, algorithms, “like & subscribe” and petty arguments. Get out there, do stuff and find people to talk to about what happened. Make mistakes, fall over, get up, try again. Smash gates, get back to the magical commons and don’t forget to keep moving.

Folks have mentioned that Twitter is an extremely important space for sharing #protest news across the world and as a result we should keep preserving it despite the takeover.

I get it, I am #Iranian, I have relied heavily on twitter for news sharing re protests in #Iran over the years.

But what you are missing is that those same activists and protesters are MOST vulnerable to the new Twitter regime. Misinformation campaigns will be easy, and #Putin/#China/Islamic republic will use it.

2/5 - Wrong Buddhism is very real.

Like any group, a #Buddhist #Sangha can harbor toxicity, #indoctrination, #abuse. No school is exempt. If you join a Sangha, please be aware of the power dynamic in the group. Try to gauge if the group has a healthy way of dealing with issues, has a proper way of discussing and processing abuse reports; what way do they look at the victims, how do they explain or excuse the abusers.

I don't like the term "environmentally friendly".

Why? Because people use it to mean "less harmful". That's not friendly, that's bullshit. Imagine if a hitman kills 10 people per year, then decides to cut that down to only killing 5 for double the price. Murders committed by that guy cut by 50%! We woldn't applaud him for being "people friendly", we should really just stop condoning his murders in the first place! Doing less damage isn't good enough when the damage we are doing is irreperable.

I'm not sure where to start. Does anyone have a list of elected officials on Mastodon? If there are none, shouldn't we be demanding it?

Have not heard of croc soup but I like it.
Mom called it tawny scrawny lion soup when I was a kid.

Hm, seems i decided to social media suicide by touching a rough topic. Strange feeling. Either nobody will care/see, or i will need to block so many that i will essentially be alone here. Is this really all that is left of feeling alive?
Maybe, it does not matter.

Who are the people most opposed to escapism? Jailers!

remember, the Salvation Army is no friend of the LGBTQ community and giving them money helps them pass legislation which stamps out people like me

This vacation I became basically nocturnal 😅 I would write until 3 am or so, sleep until later than I want to admit, get about 2 hours of daylight, and then write again. The ~2 hours wasn’t great but the #writing part was amazing.

I am now diurnal again and ow.

ᜋᜊᜓᜑᜌ᜔᜶ (Mabuhay!) I'm 스노 (雪亮 Yuki), an #ASEAN from the #Philippines, the “Pearl of the Orient Seas”.

I am an #OpenlyAutistic #Xennial #INFP person. It was #ExtraordinaryAttorneyWoo (#이상한변호사우영우) and #InnocentWitness (#증인) which gave me the courage to say, “enough is enough” with all the discrimination, prejudice, and stigma about #Autism and #ActuallyAutistics.

Furthermore, I strongly believe in #FreeCulture (under which are #CreativeCommons, #OpenKnowledge, #FLOSS, and related). You will also occasionally see me sharing and talking about #Privacy and #Security.

My first #Fediverse identity was in 2008, when it was still called #identiverse (the former was coined sometime 2010–2012). I used to run a public #Friendica instance for the Philippines, and had my own solo #Hubzilla instance. (#DidYouKnow The Philippines is the #SNS capital of the world since 2008. [1] [2])

I love to read #books. My first was Book 5 of the original #CYOA entitled, “The Mystery of Chimney Rock” when I was around four (I still have the book somewhere with a missing cover). By fourteen, I enjoyed reading a non-fiction book entitled simply as “Brain”, and dreamed of becoming a neuroscientist, which sadly remained a dream.

My longest read were #PeterFHamilton's “Pandora's Star” and “Judas Unchained” (more or less 1,000 pages each). My number one favourite is #LynnKurland's “Dreams of Stardust” (I even bought every copy I saw and gave it away).

When it comes to genre, I read anything. In the classics, I love #JaneEyre by Charlotte Brontë. I also read #NeilGaiman's “American Gods”. But I do have genres I favour more than others: #ScienceFiction and #Fantasy. To be more specific, science fiction and fantasy with #TimeTravel and #ParallelWorld elements, if the author can combine it together, even better (like Lynn Kurland's novels: #scifi + fantasy + #romance and sometimes with #paranormal too).

That said, my taste in live-action shows is somewhat similar. And the more complex and/or engaging the story is, the more I love it. Some examples are:

#Sports. I am a #runner. Well, not a professional runner. I run for #health and #fitness. I am also planning on doing #cycling again (my last was during my High School years). My first love was #football, or what Americans call #soccer. I also love #swimming, but what is close and dear to me is #Archery, in particular classic Asian archery, and Japanese archery called #Kyudo (#弓道 #きゅうどう #Kyujutsu). A must.

#Games? This one is a long history. Who doesn't love games, right? To sum it up, I started with Nintendo's “Game & Watch”, then “Family Computer”. I also was able to experience playing in Atari and MSX; as well as table-top #arcade machines. My favourite games are: “Super Mario Bros.”, “#Bomberman”. As well as, “Curse of the Azure Bonds” (#ForgottenRealms) and the Krynn series (#DragonLance) by TSR, “Sim Farm”, “Sim City”, “#PrinceOfPersia”, “#ManiacMansion”, “Neverwinter Nights”, “Eye of the Beholder”, “#Ultima” series, and the Carmen Sandiego franchise, for the PC. (*cough*Digger*cough*)

In modern #gaming, I highly recommend #GuildWars2, #StarTrekOnline, #Neverwinter, and the open-source #rhythm game, #Quaver.

For extended reality, or XR, games, I play #Ingress, #PikminBloom, #Orna, and #Qonqr; sometimes #PokemonGo.

Last, but definitely not the least, I am a #Natsari as defined in Acts 24. It means that I believe in the #Torah and the #Messiah.

#Irish #bigotry #stereotypes

For those of you who may be unaware, the Irish people have been oppressed and discriminated against for hundreds of years.

Here's a well-researched article on the topic:
