But so many instances don’t allow signups

Well supposedly there is this Soros that I keep hearing about…

I I don’t want to use Mastodon like I don’t want to use Twitter then that’s an extra step that would better to not have.

But you can’t log in to peertube with you mastodon account. You can only interact with the video, or channel via Mastodon.

Is there a way to create playlist or have as watch it latter with a mastodon account?

What instances can I join and pay to upload my videos?

Pixelfed looks more or less like Instagram to my eyes and there are alternatives frontends for mastodon. As well as a lot of people uses smartphone apps which mastodon has a few.

Mastodon has been going for almost ten years, it’s proven reliabile but people preferred the more clearly twitter clone blusky by a big American company.

Souns pretty good. Give years is probaboy longer than how long most people keep the same phone nowadays.

Maybe the legal organisation is based in Switzerland.

There is also the abiltity to create a substack like wordpress website if you want that.

It is not new that media companies get bought…

Funny how they mention reddit. Reminds me of the Facebook groups too. I know it’s nitpicking in a way but whatever…

Edit : nice list but is Pixelfed not from Canada?

I’ve got a bossé headphones 35 something. It’s been ten years or more sand still working. Very happy with them. Rare electronics thing that I have confidence will last another number of years.
