I've been testing it this morning. Obviously not a lot of content so I've been uploading some old content of my own.

It is VERY bare bones. Still needs a lot of work and effort. You can't even upload an avatar yet. And the character limit in your bio is only 80? Should be at least 250.

It's just going to take some patience. It's only (I think?) two people working on this? So development is going to be sloooooooooow.

Still, I think it's worth the effort. Alternatives to centralized apps are important. Social media deserves to be in the hands of the people and the more we can take away from centralized services, the better.

Cool.

I just started using Bitwarden almost a year now. I don't know how I lived without it before? It's nice to know I wont have to switch to something else.

Here’s a playlist. There used to be more but when I moved instances I had to run them back for storage space. https://davbot.media/w/p/uyr57kXBK9WQBZYdoVYHJ4

I have hundreds of short form videos which are designed to uplift, encourage, and speak positively about mental health issues. I’ve had lots of people tell me that my videos in some small way encourage them to take the next step in their mental health.

In other words, it’s not the form of the video that matters, it’s the content.

As for the cost of the server, I think the videos will expire after a certain amount of time. Something like Snapchat.

The great thing about the Fediverse is that it offers options. Is this going to be exactly like TikTok? Of course not. Will it serve a purpose for some? Time will tell.

I don’t think it’s gonna be here in a week. They are still accepting people for the beta.

I’m kind of glad that it wasn’t a continuation. His story seemed just so complete to me. Anything else would’ve just kind of, diluted it.

The Fedi is what you make of it. Since there's no algorithm telling you who to follow or pushing posts to your feed, it's up to you to curate who you follow.

My feed is a mixture of shit posts, memes, cats and dogs, flowers, a little politics and a little tech. Chaos is why I'm here and who I follow reflects that. If your feed is full of info you don't care about, then you're following the wrong people.
