    good to know because honestly after Meta forcing a clone of my Insta account onto Threads (which I’ll never use), really considering finally cutting ties with all mainstream social media and deleting my Insta in favor of Pixelfed. and just going total fediverse.

        Streaming is more difficult since you have to create a viewership from basically nothing, while sites like Twitch, Kick, and Youtube have a massive userbase for streaming content. You can join a peertube instance but there seems to be little content and few users. Owncast is ok, basically more like hosting your own Twitch channel, but again you would need to byo userbase. You can use mastodon/kbin/lemmy to build up a following. Not sure if anyone has made a stable income from these services though.

        Couple resources for people to look-up:

            And I’d think much more likely to be subject to copyright claims and/or child porn crap. it’s bittorrent type sharing so it opens up to a world of legal pain it would seem. Really hard for a volunteer setup to deal with that.

              I guess you’ll just have to resign yourselves to never seeing my beautiful, snake-framed face.

              This could be a plus.
