oh neat, we mainstream now
not related because I don’t listen to hour long podcast episodes, but I’ve been thinking for ages how someone like MKBHD hosting their own Mastodon instance could really solidify the Fediverse’s presence. I bet a big chunk of his audience would be willing to spend a dollar in order to get an @mkbhd.com or @matteblack.com or @24fps.com or whatever handle, too.
Perhaps. But then moderation costs etc enter into it. But to host himself and friends/employees absolutely. Unlike X they’d have complete control.

Podcasts are a last bastion of mainstream web freedom.
They’re great to pop in some earbuds and listen to while you’re cooking, cleaning or driving. I also put them on while going to bed cuz they don’t keep me up like videos or socials.

yes, I’m well aware of that, but it still doesn’t change the fact that I just don’t listen to them - especially when an episode is an hour long.
Next step, publish on peertube.
All the big content creators should be also hosting their videos on their own peertube instance. This lets them have direct metrics and info to plan new content for and to show advisors.
Definite. I wonder wow do they’ll monetise it though.
I couldn’t watch past the Federation/Fediverse discussion. You can have several words for the same thing. There is no such thing as a “real word” so long as it fits the language. Language is a living evolving thing. And I watched and by that point they didn’t even get into how it works and explained everything but.
