The fediverse's response here frightens, and sickens me. In particular, the part where online abuse is okay because it's just words, or that it's okay to be absolutely monstrous as long as you pick an acceptable target. Online abuse is never okay.

I lost two gamedev colleagues who worked on my games to suicide, and more have gone off the deep end of toxic gaming culture. This video is me trying to deal with these personal tragedies, confront the increasingly negative realities of online spaces, and how we might do better.

If you delete your YouTube data, you also lose any content you "purchased". Seems like maybe Google doesn't understand what the word "purchase" means. There is no excuse for tying these two things together.

DRM is shit. Google is shit. Amazon is shit too because they do exactly the same thing. Everyone who makes excuses for DRM is shit.

Do whatever, but buy shit.

Mastodon is like a city 🏙️

Your instance is your apartment building 🏢

Local is your neighbors 👩‍🏭👨‍🍳👨‍🏫🧓

Global is the whole part of the city you can see from your apartment 🏢🏘️🏚️

Home is the friends in your living room 🛋️

I had to block some external instances on Masto.host shared hosting.

Here is why and how that can be reverted: https://masto.host/i-had-to-block-some-external-instances/

This was a tricky decision but couldn't think of a better solution.

If you have any suggestions, please do let me know.
