@lefractal@mstdn.social absolutely love this. Already implemented on my stream. And thank you to Le Fractal for already enabling me to hide streams when they're not online.
This is the awesomeness we need. Let's make our own brand of discovery.
This reminds me of Webrings from back in the day! 😊
Thank you so much Le Fractal! <3

Just saw @pixys_journey_@makertube.net on #Peertube .
"Vids from my daily life, featuring my sweet dog Arwen."
And there's PUPPIES!

Remember you can follow @pixys_journey_@makertube.net right from your account to get all the videos right in your feed without having to go somewhere else! You can even search that account on your instance to see if they're all already there. The power of the #Fediverse is it all interconnects!
there's what looks like an auto-generated one ... not great but better than nothing!
@moonrabbit@sunny.garden @RussSharek@mastodon.art sadly I don't know how to do transcripts. Peertube does an auto generated one. Hopefully that's OK? If anyone has any suggestions on how to do it better, please let me know. 😄

Good day all! Upcoming episode of Fireside Fedi!
Special Guest: @RussSharek@mastodon.art
Russ Sharek has been described by reliable sources as wiser than a rubber duck, a zen fool, a benevolent super villain, a talentless hack, a magical f***ing wizard, a misanthropic community leader, a clown (grand)father figure and an Impish Cabaret Rasputin. Each of these facts is true. he/him (and sometimes they/them)

@BTFree Congrats!
@phillycodehound@indieweb.social thank you!
Good day all!
I'm excited to announce that BT Free is now 501(c)3 tax exempt!
Any donations, in the US, are now tax deductible!
I'm currently working on getting verified on GiveButter in order to enable easy access for folks to get their donations for their taxes.
If you'd like to donate to BT Free you can see btfree.org for information.

@ozoned@btfree.social unrelated to the OP but since ur using bonfire, I'm curious can u use mastodon apps with it, or is there another client or web app u use?
@lps@holos.social some apps are Mastodon compatible, such as gotosocial, but I don't think Bonfire is one of them.

@JenJen Hey I've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty. Do you have a moment to chat?

@north Like a screenshot of what's hosted on that domain?

@ozoned I am familiar with it. When I first heard about it kinda reminded me of MP3Locker, which then became mp3tunes. Do you recall MP3tunes at all?
@lorenzosmusic@mastodon.social I don't know that one at all.. I shall look into them.

@lorenzosmusic@mastodon.social I don't know if you're familiar with #FunkWhale or not:

If you're not familiar, then it's a federated self hosting music platform.

@_elena@mastodon.social @mastodonmigration@mastodon.online
They JUST found it between the couch cushions.
This is an absurd and transparent lie, that reflects very badly on Mike Masnick.
We are talking about a $100M investment, and he is asking people to believe they were just "too busy." Hogwash.
@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @_elena@mastodon.social
And you know who can never be used to make that money back?
US!
We're FREE.
Folks like BSKY, idk why. But they'll either stay or they'll leave. If they leave, they're not going back to Twitter. If they stay, maybe they don't know or maybe they don't know how good we are. Or maybe they have something we need.
How can we turn this into a strength to HELP people move over?
Bonfire is AMAZING imo. It's not Mastodon. We have so many options, we just need to convince folks that this way is better and we can suit them however they need.
@_elena Masnick has certainly revealed a previously hidden side of himself in all the BS BS ...
@colo_lee@mstdn.social @_elena@mastodon.social
I was at Red Hat when they were sold to IBM.
The CEO, Jim Whitehurst, that for some reason people saw as a god and didn't understand he didn't INVENT Linux or anything, was standing up there selling us the idea of the sale to IBM.
CEO's are only there to keep the business running. They're not there for the people, they're not there for the customers, they're there to make sure it just keeps humming along.
Even if they disagreed, they're not going to say it publicly. You know how much money that CEO job is making them? Say whatever, world be damned.
THIS is why they can't have this power.
They will ALWAYS convince themselves and anyone they can that this is BEST FOR ALL.
