    Is this about a video you (op) made? If so please link it here and I’ll give it a watch. I love long form content and have plenty of time for videos in the background while tending to a newborn

      No please. Do not reward this kind of posting. People are just going to flood the fediverse with this kind of engagement farming. If they want to get eyes on their content they are welcome to post it in the relevant communities, ideally with a disclaimer that they made it.

      Reddit was filled with posts like: “no one cares about my neurodivergent differently abled nieces art project 🥺👉👈”

      Let’s not encourage that here.

      I must admit, I also enjoy long form content, however… I’m suspicious of the handle being, toasterbotnet, and a watch toaster url watermark……

      • I’m totally not a virus. I’m just a toaster. trust me bro.

        no but seriously. my website does not do shady things. ToasterBotnet is just a funny name. I’m not out there hacking toasters or something. Just making videos and shitposting memes.

        really like this one! since this seems like an important message many of my friends could make good use of i’ll be spreading.

        not so sure about the content in your singularity video, though. you certainly elaborate on some important ideas, but you lose me by your misuse of the word “internet”. the internet was already there in 1995. all the relevant (or at least the most important) protocols existed (except from the cryptography part) and the sheer idea of stopping the internet before it was too late seems to miss how revolutionary, decentralized and thus uncontrollable this idea was.

        you simply can not stop people from connecting their computers and exchanging data. best you can do is erecting firewalls in between populations.

        still: thanks for creating and making your content accessible!

          Thanks appreciate the feedback.

          Yeah you are right about the singularity video. Could have be a bit more clear about the difference between the web and the internet. And yes I don’t think they would have been able to stop it either. But they certainly would have tried :D

          thanks for the kind words :)
