Tumblr is terrible

Stay terrible fam.

Wow. This is a bit wild, so I’m going to add context.

I’ve been sharing the link with friends and suddenly, all of catbox went dark for us. On different phones too.

So multiple people have confirmed they can’t reach it.

Potentially an ISP/cell level block?

So does the content in this link work for you?

Because I’m getting a response as if it doesn’t exist at all. But earlier Saturday it worked fine.

Hear me out.

Creators should be hosting peer tubes. And they should host exclusively their own content. Fans of their can subscribe to whatever systems they want to pay and support.

For creators, it’s a backup for when YouTube the project inevitably fails. For fans as well. But it’s also a backup of their content.

Oof, you are totally right. Here, take this too

Sure.

Here you go:

Widely distributed local sources of renewable energy generation is the most straightforward path to reducing global conflict.

bromeliaceae:

you gotta realize reddit didn’t just “appear” one day with those obscure niche topics built out. There is a network effect large communities have. We need hundreds of thousands more members before that is possible.

I think you probably weren’t there for early reddit, but most of the active posters here on Lemmy were. It was tiny. Like Lemmy.

You can’t force those niche communities to exist here. It doesn’t work. But what you can do is post and create valuable content. and eventually we may get there.

Anyways… here’s what happens when you mix stump remover and cotton during a thunderstorm.

Seems like lemmy.ml is really collapsing in on itself. Overall not good for the general health of the fediverse. We need large “sibling” instances rather than monoliths like .world, which is to say nothing of the politics of the instance. The fewer “medium” to "large’ instances are, the more reliant the whole system becomes on “very large” monoliths like .world, which overall weakens the integrity of the network.

This also highlights the destructiveness of toxic moderation. There is plenty of it here too, but there needs to be some kind of accountability/ redress if open & free communities are going to be a long term project. Not really a big deal in the long run and something we’ll just have to keep working on.
