Baby's 1st comment 🥹
Hmm brand new account, first comment, definitely no Astroturfing going on here.
Can someone make a federated decentralised alternative for these fellow addicts? At least they won’t be at mercy of geopolitical powers but only our local, innocent, slightly mad admins.
I realise though that it would take gargantuan effort$
A federated alternative for that already exists - peertube. Adapting it to a short form video format wouldn't be that difficult. However, running it (any video streaming platform) is expensive. How do u plan to fund it?
I plan to kindap a one of forbes top 100. Then hold them captive until the desired result is achieved and legal matters resolved
