There are PeerTube servers that allow a certain reasonable amount of content for free.

Can someone please translate EoP for me?

Sad to hear this news.

They are in competition with Mastodon, and have a marketing budget.

Five years from now, those platforms will become enshittified as their budgets dry up. They will need to milk the users for revenue. Well see another surge in a few years, until they learn that Mastodon is actually better.

Yeah, I do not think Python is a very good comparison.

I was thinking more like Clojure:

1. Enthusiastic and friendly geeks trying to push their language on the world trying to make it a better place. They are both definitely not a little cultish!
2. Language intended to be simple to learn with a limited and regular vocabulary, but can handle complicated work with ease.
3. They both say that learning their language will make your mind better able to do other languages.
4. A bridge between languages. Vanilla Clojure runs on the JVM and can invoke Java commands. But it has also been built on other platforms like JavaScript (ClojureScript), .NET (CLR), Python (Basilisp), BASH (Babashka), and others I think.
5. The parts of both languages can be broken up, mixed, and matched, and used for other parts. In Esperanto, the fundamental elements can be broken down and made into other words. In Clojure, you’ve got functions and lists - and higher order functions that work on functions and lists, and lists of functions, and functions of lists.
6. Did I mention: Friendly & welcoming geeks that lo-o-o-ove newbies! Seriously, both Clojure nerds and Esperanto nerds are unnaturally nice and would like to welcome you to the club. They’ve got tons of free resources for you to learn it.

Honestly, I think both are right. Both are simple languages that expand your way of thinking, and are probably both worth learning, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Bluesky seems to work better as an alternative.

Until they run out of VC money.

Then the enshittification happens, to pay the bills.

About Esperanto, since it’s not a national language (intentionally so) it’s hard to do a census of speakers.

Also, to what level is considered “speaking Esperanto”? Taking the Duolingo course? Having it as a “mother tongue” where both parents speak it in a household in order to communicate? These are both probably countable, and produce wildly different numbers.

Mi pensas ke, vi volis tajpi, “Python (aŭ Pitono) malfeliĉigas min.”

• Mal : Opposite
• Feliĉ- : Happy
• Ig : Makes (Transitive verb)
• As : Present tense.

“Mi malfeliĉas.” : I’m sad.

“Pitono malfeliĉigas ĉiujn.” (Python makes everyone sad.)

Ackshully, Clojure is Esperanto, and I will not be taking questions at this time.

I came here for this. Thanks for delivering!

A marketing budget. The Fediverse has none, and we’re competing with the big boys.

StreetComplete tasks got my neighborhood to be the best-mapped little village I’ve ever seen! 😎

Since I’m walking around for exercise anyway, I’ve got most of the addresses, and now I’m working on the fire hydrants.

I kinda like it. It’s sort of a self-curated magazine. It takes a while to get it tweaked for my personal preferences.

So, in my opinion, it’s a little like Lemmy, but focused more on the links than the conversation around them. Also, much more glossy and polished than Lemmy.

It’s worth checking out, and I’m quite happy that they seem to be gradually adding Fediverse support.

Thank you, super-wholesome stranger!

There are the communities wholesome and lemmybewholesome.

Sorry, I don’t know how to link to the communities or I would.

I’m out of the loop. What dumb thing did he do now?

First off, holy crap, thank you for sharing this site. I had no idea about it! I will definitely check it out.

Second, this seems like something I would pay for, to get more space. Is that available? I could not find that on their website.

The Windows error screen is almost never useful. Maybe Linux could aspire to that standard!

Yes, but glue is the surprisingly tasty ingredient on pizza too keep your toppings from falling off.

Just be sure to use non-toxic glue, because the other kind tastes terrible.

Fedilab already works as a PeerTube app. A good one!
