Streaming and digital ownership are poor replacements for physical ownership because if one gets delisted or a platform collapses, you lose it unless it is likely available to buy it in physical form.

Twitch, once a revered livestreaming platform, has went downhill in mid-2010s after they started censoring good channels and lives, even chats! Kick and DLive are much better, as they support free speech, care about their userbase, and promote competition and creative freedom.

After all of these rants about Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube last day, as well as last 3+ days, they proved that they take censorship over freedom of expression, competition, and creative freedom, thus continue to harm artists and studios, including me, and won't stop doing this nonsense. There are better alternatives to mainstream social media that actually support free speech, care about their userbase, and promote the same three values mentioned above, including Mastodon/PeerTube/Fediverse, Bluesky/ATProtocol, Nostr, Odysee, Bitchute, Truth Social (despite getting banned for an invalid reason), Rumble, and all of these alternatives to them that are all great.

While their moderations keep their userbase from consuming or posting questionable content, they made efforts to limit free speech and creative freedom, and harm artists and studios like me. YouTube has made similar efforts that are no better than FB and IG themselves, by demonetizing good content and channels. That's why I left YT forever. Mainstream social media don't care about their userbase, including people and businesses. They wouldn't exist in the next three decades, and alternatives to them will continue to rise over time, allowing more competition and freedom than their mainstream counterparts. View quoted note →

YakiHonne is great, just like Nostur, but YH has a filter system, which Nostur lacks.

Social media is a poor replacement for face to face socialization or any of other traditional communication methods. It must be used in moderation, just like eating and drinking, which if not cared well, can lead to diabetes or obesity.

Social media is tough, it's not real life…

For some reason, I got banned from Truth Social last day, despite abiding its ToS and Community Guidelines, and lost 700+ posts, including reposts and likes. So, rather than appealing the ban, I chose to leave TS forever. However, I still stay informed with Trump's updates.

Anyway, I remember the notorious antennagate scandal that nearly ruined iPhone 4's reputation, which that error was later fixed.

Jeffy, yeah, I seen that character before, who gained notoriety for his troublemaking behavior and dirty dialogue that changed SML forever. There are a few well-produced videos starring him, similar to Junior, but I don't remember their names.
