@waitworry I think I am an outlier, but I almost entirely interact with YouTube via the subscription tab. I find new creators infrequently this way, but the content I consume is curated only to things I have intentionally sought out.
For a long time I assumed this was the typical way everyone used it, but I no longer believe that.
@Daojoan I think its actually pretty difficult to run a self hosted email server. There's a large risk from spam and viruses, and it seems pretty common for the most prominent email providers to block self hosted email servers.
I do hate what discord and slack have done to the open web though. I miss when forums were more prevalent.
A fundamental aspect of our humanity: the urge to destroy that from which you feel excluded.
This urge is crucial to understanding politics. Yet hardly anyone seems to recognise it. Hardly anyone, that is, except the far right, who see it all too well.
