I liked your wifes suggestion of Sublemmit, but I would compact it more and perhaps call it a Sublem? Much quicker to type out.

But subreddits are called Subreddits and have the format /r/subreddit_name.

Also, community is in my opinion

  • too long to type out for something we will be using very often
  • the word already has a meaning

It might be better to simply use another dedicated word

Yeap I ended up creating one. Ill see how it goes and if it gets too difficult to manage it with my personal life ill probably do the same. First I need someone to actually subscribe though xD

I use DDG and im pretty happy with it. I now pretty much only use google if i need to find working hours and location of a store on google maps, as DDG doesnt have that information as obviously available

As for the separating of the plants, how could I do that without causing damage at this stage? Won’t their roots be all tangled up and separating them cause them stress and damage?

And YouTube, the platform, DOES need to get paid as well otherwise your videos can’t get to you.

I disagree. YouTube is owned by Google as we all know very well. They don’t need to show you ads technically. I get why they would want to, because obviously its a company and they want to make more and more money. But I (and many more like me), as users we feel that it gets to a point where I’m not watching a video with ads sprinkled in, but ads with a video sprinkled in. So I as a consumer will find ways to circumvent that, and avoid watching ads. There comes a point where they’re getting far too greedy and I can no longer tolerate the extent to which their “more and more money” practices get to. As another commenter mentioned, the ads arms race will simply continue turning. As for creators, there are other ways for them to make money, as was the case when YouTube was still a younger thing. Now there’s even more options such as Patreon. Also, bigger brands such as LTT inevitably branch out and create separate revenue streams (think LTT store). Obviously, not every creator might want to do that simply to get paid, but when did we shift to this idea that its a job. Even though I’m young(er), I still remember the beginning of YouTube, though barely. It seems like it was more people back then that wanted to do this as a passion, not that they felt “I need to release a video every week at a set day and time or I get less money” as it seems to be now.

I wouldn’t even mind that much if the ads didn’t interfere with the primary function of the site, which one would think is to serve content (the product) to me (the consumer). Such as ads which are not part of the video but are loaded on the side for example. However, this is not the case. Primarily I think because we have reached a point in the internet’s timeline where people using it are not the customers anymore, but the product. And we’re being sold to ad companies.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk xD

On a similar note, would it be possible to have something like “sharding” where one server has multiple synched copies on several people’s machines? So lets say if one machine goes down for whatever reason there are others to still serve content? This could also help with distributing load across multiple machines so its less stressful on one, and we don’t have situations such as whats going on with lemmy.ml now, where so many users are joining it that its frequently down and subscription statuses are stuck on pending
