Thats sick!
You had me at reticulating splines.

Dude that gender list is great.
My ~~god~~ cat with disturbingly human lips, the internet is back.
Seriously, I love it. Correct amount of humor and functionality. I’m on the road but I’ll be signing up for sure.
i was big in the david karp era fandom tumblr and loved it during gleek tumblr and spn tumblr days (i still have an account but don't use it as much) so i'm definitely going to look at this (as someone that also uses bsky, i like the idea that it's integrated with atproto too. i trust that it's trans and queer friendly too? :^
Well, tumblr died out in 2017 because they said "NO PORN!!!"
And all the blogs died.
It's like Dr Cox said: "If you take all the porn off the internet, there'd only be one website left. www.bringbacktheporn.com and nobody would visit because it doesn't have porn."
So. Does WAFRN have porn? And also.....why are these things ALWAYS named with weird hard to pronounce names? Come see my new website Drufyflezak!
I always figured because the weird names have cheaper domain registrations. However wafrn is a pretty short name so, it probably is on the high end.

Exciting! I've made an effort to let go of Insta for both privacy and hatred of Zuck's policies, which left me stuck on Tumblr to look at any fanart/fandom content. Hopefully this could replace people's need for Tumblr in a few years, especially since they also do a shit job of caring about their users.
Edit: Knowing the context of the name is hilarious, wish I was there for the Tumblr exodus. I will be sure to spread to other platforms about this wonderful service.
I love WAFRN so much 😭
hell yeah
Is it pronounced like the blood thinner/rat poison (warfarin)?
Thank you for your hard work! Let me know if you'd like to talk on Fireside Fedi with me sometime!
I didn't know the creator of Fireside Fedi was here!
lol I am here. I'm all in on the Fediverse. ;-) If there's a platform in the Fedi I'm not on, please let me know so I can learn about it! :-D
If you are on voyager, tag them and never be unaware again LOL
lol wow I hope folks don't follow my ramblings. :-) But I do like Voyager and TY for suggesting!
Some certainly do. I've never been much of a podcast person myself. The closest I follow is the Cody Showdy AKA some more news. but it's a bit more Straight Up Performance than just basic podcast.
I do watch a lot of tech YouTubers. And have done some shows myself. I know the amount of time and effort that can go even into simple ones. They require a lot of passion and drive to produce. And especially for topics like this where there isn't a lot of money in it. It's definitely deserves some respect.
I know I've been considering Reviving an old program myself. If it's worth all the work again.
Oh I absolutely do it for passion. LOVE talking with folks, especially about foss and open platforms. And definitely haven't made really any money. And any money goes to TubeFree or back to the Fediverse somehow. I've definitely spent way more than I've made. Lol
That's how it was DJing for me. I never made a lot of money. But I always enjoyed sharing the music. LOL, perhaps someday I will find someone to pay me to do it. But not everyone can be as lucky as Rodney anonymous. Of course it doesn't hurt that he was famous as well:-)
lots of indie musicians on the fediverse. :-)
Rodney Anonymous being one of them. Well I guess he's not necessarily indy? Though he's definitely not mainstream. Outside of Punk Rock Girl I'm not sure how much else of their catalog got play.. But they are legends up in Philadelphia. Which is where he DJs once a month for ynot radio.
The fediverse provides a platform individuals can completely control if they want. Or at least be free of a lot of unsavory restrictions and associations. And for a punk group like Rodney's, that is even more important.
fireside fedi?
Fediverse centric podcast. I've never watched/listened. But I regularly see episodes through the new que on Lemmy. They even host on peer tube.
TY for linking. :-)
Asking for constructive criticism reasons, is there a reason you don't watch or listen? I've been told my mic quality bothers folk, so working on getting a new setup for that this week hopefully. :-D If you just don't listen because you're not a consumer of that kind of content or just not interested, totally understand. I just thriving on constructive criticism. :-)
You don't always need an expensive microphone. But a pop filter can make a much bigger impact than you would believe. Honestly the thing I see a lot of YouTubers using often that seems to work out quite well are lavalier mics. Not the traditional desktop microphones.
A lavalier microphone attached to a collar or lapel. Is generally outside of the direct path of your voice. So the need for pop filtering Etc is reduced. Though many of them do provide filters for it. Further since they are generally clipped to you the distance between you and them doesn't change much. Meaning that your levels stay much more consistent and even. No leaning away from mic and then back in. And they sometimes have a few less issues with assonance.
That's not even touching the headaches that can be simply capturing footage or streaming in obs. That rabbit hole goes deep. It's also a lot of fun with a lot of opportunity to be creative.
And as I said in my other post I just don't tend to listen to many podcasts at all. I have listened to behind the bastards a little bit in the past, Pod save America a couple times. Even the Retro hour a few times with RMC. But it's just never been something that I have a lot of time available to focus on or desire to. Though I might give it a try.
I know bsky is not everyone's jam. But I promise wafrn will do the best to protect you from stupid shit they do. The main wafrn instance has blocked jd vance as example ;D
i can't make posts about vance?
You can and theoreticaly you can actualy ~~mention~~ harrass him in bluesky funily enough but wont look like a mention in wafrn end
this post is totaly not a test of lemmy federation wink wink
