    oh neat, we mainstream now

    not related because I don’t listen to hour long podcast episodes, but I’ve been thinking for ages how someone like MKBHD hosting their own Mastodon instance could really solidify the Fediverse’s presence. I bet a big chunk of his audience would be willing to spend a dollar in order to get an @mkbhd.com or @matteblack.com or @24fps.com or whatever handle, too.

        Podcasts are a last bastion of mainstream web freedom.

        yes, I’m well aware of that, but it still doesn’t change the fact that I just don’t listen to them - especially when an episode is an hour long.

      Perhaps. But then moderation costs etc enter into it. But to host himself and friends/employees absolutely. Unlike X they’d have complete control.
