And about 99% of people who upload to Youtube are not concerned with any kind of incentive other than "Let me share this video". For 99% of people, it is a perfectly capable Youtube replacement (well, beyond being able to search well - a problem the whole Fediverse has...)
- liotier 2y ago> being able to search well - a problem the whole Fediverse has... I still don't understand the Fediverse's surprisingly common hostility to indexing: a publishing platform that won't let indexers record its publications - what is that supposed to be ?
- BeetleB 2y agoI'm not sure what you mean. What hostility?
- liotier 2y agoLots of Mastodon instances do not wish to let indexers take their whole feed. As a result, there is no way to globally track a search string or even a hashtag. A bunch of reactionaries seems to believe that search is a privacy violation... On a publishing platform - hilarious ! Anyway, I've stopped trying and my current global village microblogging forum is Bluesky.
