there is plenty of dreadfulness in the world, maybe consider answering a situation you might normally react with a sharp word or otherwise negative reaction, with a positive one

lb hey we need your help with 500px. rate limits mean each of us can only download a very small amount of pictures, and these images are going away soon, so we need a lot of people to join

Janelle Monáe at the BET awards. Happy Pride, y'all 😍

I just saw my shadow. You know what that means: 6 more months of gay pride. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

Reclaiming RSS

“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”

@deadsuperhero #peertube is awesome! I wish it was more common. The fact Blender is using it for its videos is actually a really good thing to raise awareness of the platform. I'm hoping it takes off more broadly soon.

Tips for #peertube users when working within your instances storage limit.

1) Start learning about codes and bit rates. Vp9 and setting your bit rates low really are your friend.

2) Ask yourself how high a quality does your video really need. Why not use 720p instead of 1080p. If your doing vlogs just talking to the camera, do you even need to be in HD?

It's #FollowFriday! Here are some #alternatives to follow:

@cloutstream CloutStream: An open source federated alternative to LinkedIn, just launched its new website

@Chocobozzz Chocobozzz: Lead developer of #PeerTube, the ethical alternative to YouTube

@Purism Purism: Makers of privacy-oriented computers and the upcoming Librem5 smartphone

@fdroidorg F-Droid: The open source alternative to Google Play

@krita Krita: Open source painting software aimed at artists and illustrators

Ok so out of stuff using #ActivityPub, #Mastodon replaces Twitter, #Pixelfed replaces Instagram, #PeerTube replaces YouTube. What is there that replaces SoundCloud? #askMastodon

Different user interfaces trigger different user experiences and different user behaviours. I'm so happy that #pixelfed will very soon be a part of the #federation, providing a completely different angle, opening up the federation to a different kind of interaction. 💗

(Needless to say I'm THRILLED to finally leave instagram behind.)

Keep being brave.

If you don't have the energy to be brave, ask someone to help you be brave <3

"You wake up every morning to fight the same demons that left you so tired the night before, and that, my love, is bravery."

Next tarot card: 98% done, \o/. :)
