Can we just be realistic and understand that most people can’t/won’t do this. Most people do not have the time/technical knowhow to host everything themselves.

The app or piefed as a whole?

a lot of them died because they never bring in new people and people leave for a variety of reasons.

It really is interesting how simultaneously big and small the world it now. I have times where people call an artist the biggest up in comer and I have never heard of them but they somehow have 10mil monthly listeners.
I got off tiktok a while ago and the only thing that I miss is small musicians that post their early works to the platform.

Their music is interesting I’ll definitely have to check out more of it to see how I feel about it.

that is indeed how you mention someone. Yeah being pedantic for the sale of it isn’t something I understand. Unless it impacts my ability to enjoy the story I couldn’t care less.

What do you think politics are?

I have read some novels where their history straight up breaks if you think about it for too long. Not saying this happened in this case but I read a fantasy novel that had a history that implied that people existed in the wrong times. Like this person was said to have died in X year yet someone met someone who was born in X+100 years.

all religions change. The gnostics were my favorite offshoot because it seems more believable then God being good after committing multiple genocides.

Every single one. They ethier white wash (not in the making people white way but sometimes they too) or villify everything about it. There is no place for nuance in modern retellings for some reason.

calibre might be my favorite piece of software ever made. I wish every media format had a calibre equivalent. I have sorted thousands of books and merged so many series into single files because who needs seperate books on an eReader.
