I'm paying a company to run an instance for me

I 💯 agree Mastodon would be better if you could bring your own domain without running your own instance. I don't think that's technically infeasible but it looks like no-one has built a Mastodon server with virtual host support yet

They're not quite as easy as setting up a CNAME, but there are two options for that:

And that has it's own difficulties: it's not as universal, it's not as one-stop, you have to go find your own place instead of going to The One Place Where Everything Is. But for most of human history that's how it's worked, and centralizing it hasn't actually gone great!

So what happens if everyone can't go to Mastodon? Or to cohost? Or to whatever? What happens is a fractionalization, a balkanization, where instead of 1 big cohort you get a dozen or a hundred or a thousand smaller ones. Which: scales better. Which: is more healthy.

on the one hand, ux is good yes ok. but also path of absolute least resistance is how the web condensed into three fucking websites. you think it's too complicated that you have to pick the equivalent of an email provider? you would've starved in the jungle of the 90s internet

🔴 Go Live Together! Testing YouTube's new feature with PhotoJoseph

YouTube is testing out a new feature that lets multiple people stream together! I thought it'd be fun to try it out, so @PhotoJoseph will be joining me for this brief stream! We'll test it out and talk about how it works, and probably stumble through things as we figure it out live!

This morning I noticed I have a new feature in YouTube called "Go Live Together", an easy way to bring in guests to your livestream. So what better way to test it out than to try it LIVE right now?

Join me and @PhotoJoseph over here in 20 minutes!

@aaronpk hey Aaron, was there an update to the live chat overlay? It’s broken for me for some reason, I just see a white block today instead of the comments. I used it yesterday and everything was fine 🥲

Sorry about that! Looks like my hosting provider had some issues earlier, but it should be back up now!

The algorithm doesn't "punish" you. That myth kinda stems from creators that just chuck stuff at a channel without thinking about it.

The system now takes into account shorts and long form views, so viewers that watch your shorts will get recommended longer videos & vice versa.
