Just taking a minute to share this podcast with y’all. I know it’s already in the sidebar here, but thought Alex & Chris deserve a shout out for their great show.
They talk about the week’s news and their own experiences hosting at home. Listening to them talk tech makes me more confident about my hosting.
Kind of sad to see this.
Tbf if you want a big following for ads and such you need to use whatever has the people on it.
Lemmy is great for personal hobbies and enjoyment, but not running/advertising a business (which I assume the podcast is).
And it should probably stay that way? Not sure.
But I’m of the opinion that stuff like Instagram/Fb/X will always be around, but I’ll stick with things like Lemmy for personal stuff.
Nothing will change if no more people starts adopting fediverse, and a podcast about self hosting should at least also post on the fediverse as much as on the main social media apps
But isn’t the intention of the fediverse to keep our people just trying to make money? Even a chill podcast needs to make money.
Although maybe since the fediverse gives users/instances so much control we could keep them in line hahaha
No one is saying they shouldn’t make money, but for their social apps – just like they post on Facebook, Twitter, etc. They could also post on Lemmy, Mastodon, etc. And this gives their users the option to leave the big tech social platforms.
Good point!
They have several other social medias if you listen to the show. I believe they primarily post on Mastodon or Nostr and they have their own self host matrix server.
No time to self host their own social media I guess.
