#Introduction
Hello Mastodon friends. I'm a #progressive, young #boomer/old #genx, straight, white, CIS woman. #ADHD, maybe #Autism, plus #Anxiety. US #WestCoast. Long-time #California, short-time #Nevada, and now #CentralOregon. Went to college a lot, dropped out a lot, no degree. Former #TechWriter, former #School Office Lady. I was once #funny.
My life view: Harm to a group that you're not part of will ultimately harm you too. None of us are free till all of us are free. Choose kindness.
Can someone here on the #fediverse recommend a #Friendly and #RetroComp / #OldTech centric #PeerTube #Instance ?
i'd love to follow more #SouthAsian, #desi writers and creatives. if that's you, come say hi!

The Fediverse has its own video platform called @peertube.
You can follow PeerTube accounts from Mastodon, for example try following craftykat@diode.zone
You can watch and interact with the videos entirely within Mastodon, or on PeerTube itself.
Here's an example of a PeerTube server:
If you see an account you like, you can copy and paste its account address into Mastodon to follow it there. When new videos are published, they will appear in your Mastodon timeline.
Just finished read Murium Haleh Davis' awesome call to situate Fanon in the Africa for which he fought. I'm too ignorant to know whether the critique of Afropessimism it presents is correct, but it is food for thought. Do read! https://dev.lareviewofbooks.org/article/the-us-academy-and-the-provincialization-of-fanon/
Here's my attempt at going from zero to Einstein's equation in sixty minutes. The comments are a wild ride!

New Mastodon Instance, Culture Jamming
Inspired by the popularity of Alt-Right disk jockeys who ramble on for hours incoherently about a controversial topic
and lured by the fame and glory Youtubers get for filming themselves doing mundane things and commenting on it
and also bcos I just had no time before the deadline
here is an ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING video presentation of mine and
@spiantado's
"Meaning without Reference in Large Language Models"

If your profile tells me nothing about you, it's less likely I'll follow you (back).
