Lemmy was my first fediverse app. I i joined ages ago, then eventually went back to reddit because usage was so low. Then later I joined mastodon after Twitter imploded. And now I’m back on Lemmy. There are people here now! It’s great!

I like Ardour too. The interface takes a little getting used to but feels good once you have the hang of it.

Your example reads like John Sandford to me. Halfway through it I started hearing it in Richard Ferrone’s voice

I don’t really have a problem with the culture of reddit (at least not the reddits I frequent), so much as all the ads and astroturf. The question for me is whether Lemmy has strong enough modding tools to withstand that level of popularity.

Everything you say is true, but that “trickle down” you mention really is a trickle. Most of the yoububers I watch have patreon pages, or advertisers who they mention during the video, or a merch store, or their own creator-owned video site they’re hawking. Youtube itself doesn’t pay that much, but offers access to such a huge audience, that it’s worth it anyway. There’s no reason they couldn’t do all of that on Peertube (I don’t think), but why would they, if there’s no audience there.

I think they mean that a shave involves razors, not just clippers.

Using ask as a noun or gift as a verb.
