wow. I forgot I'd signed out of youtube and wow. The stuff they put on the general front page for an unknown user is YIKES.

What we think improves productivity vs. what actually does.
It's often easy to feel like you’re only productive if you are working hard non-stop. That’s a misnomer. Breaks are vital for boosting productivity and deterring burnout. Make time to re-energize,
get rest and enjoy life in between.

Can't spell "fediverse" without "diverse", is all I'm saying.
Edit:
I posted this and the parent toot at the start of Nov'22 wave of new people and communities joining fedi, bringing their specific needs and expectations.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] If there's a police shooting and there is a video? I put a CW around that.

Kudos for doing it right @internetarchive!
Hey, folks who are customers of a traditional web host (Dreamhost, Namecheap, etc.): If you get a minute, consider asking them nicely if they’re working on adding support for #fediverse apps, #Mastodon probably being the most visible right now. Hopefully with one-click install options like WordPress.
It would be a great way to bring more options to the decentralized web and people who want to use it.
Hat tip to @feditips for helping with this idea.
