it's a service issue. if it was $5/month for every streaming service including music and current tv, would you pay for that service? how many hoops or hassles would you be willing to tolerate for that price point and access?

i gave feedback that basically said "fuck you. fuck this. this is exactly how you generate bad will."
i would say there has been a lot of good work done to at least defed a lot of that stuff. some instances are topically-focused and i think that helps a lot. for instance, kolektiva.media is all leftist content, and tilvids is a lot of tech stuff but also some other educational material. and tilvids hosts a couple of youtubers content as well so if you like (i think 5) specific youtubers, you can watch em there.
peertube is already pretty good. The commenting liking and sharing all work with activity pub. there is also owncast for live streaming. I understand peertube maybe implementing live streaming too.
"closed hole" flute: I have a tendency to pick up loud and obnoxious instruments. trumpet. diatonic harmonica. penny whistle. it would be cool to have a genuinely soft instrument. also, having skills that would transfer to piccolo:D
