  • My gut reaction about lack of content in peer tube is because the platform is ethical. It’s my understanding that popular video platforms started by pirating content, marketing campaigns and other shady things . This obviously is a not a good thing here.

    This creates a cascading effect where only people who are more ethical ( rather than less ethical) post videos there. And only ethical ( more or less) people watch the videos there for more or less political reasons ( not national politics but belief how things should happen)

    There are probably ways for them to jumpstart content there , but are dismissed, never to be used because it’s against the spirit of the idea. Hopefully someone can solve this by doing something that fits into the vision !



  • I have a conspiracy theory that most users who are an expert don’t post much about that.

    For example I am an expert on two things most people find obscure; and for all my comments I just avoid talking about them. It’s too hard to wrap up an idea without lots of background information, there are no short posts or comments I can make about it.

    Almost all the highly upvoted stuff are short. Were I to try to make an expert post it would be totally ignored. So why bother for me when I can snarky about things I know nothing about ? More fun !

    I think experts who write short terse pithy comments that hit the mark, at a timely fashion, are rarer than hens teeth








  • They are a mindless organization, not one or a few using logic. Everyone working there can figure out the general issues, on their own, for sure. But it’s an out of control huge organization. Even the top leadership is along for the ride at this point.

    Every department is headed by competent and intelligent people, I assume. But they each only control a small slice of the environment, and even in each division there are many things the middle management cannot control directly. Too big

    It’s not like a car manufacturer, there is an exponential difference in the number of parts to control and the complexity.

    When the sales, and other parts are woven in, I doubt there is a dozen people alive who can explain how all the company structure works together






  • I think the value of Wordpress is its ecosystem of tens of thousand of plugins. They cannot rewrite it without breaking many of them

    The other value of Wordpress is its low entry barrier for writing plugins. One does not need to code well to write a plugin, and often plugins are abandoned-ware, or close. Many of these badly written abandoned plugins are vital to thousands of sites, or more.

    Broke plugins stay broken .

    By definition wp must never change too much, ever
