Welcome folks, be friendly, get to know people. I've started a podcast, because I had this exact question. I talk to folks from around the fedi and just have a fireside chat. We need more projects like this that show who and what we are and it has to be shown outside of Fedi as well.
If you're interested the show is at video.firesidefedi.live/@show . Also on YT, but delayed by months and with new videos I'm pulling some out as a teaser to go to Peertube.
Oh I absolutely do it for passion. LOVE talking with folks, especially about foss and open platforms. And definitely haven't made really any money. And any money goes to TubeFree or back to the Fediverse somehow. I've definitely spent way more than I've made. Lol
Asking for constructive criticism reasons, is there a reason you don't watch or listen? I've been told my mic quality bothers folk, so working on getting a new setup for that this week hopefully. :-D If you just don't listen because you're not a consumer of that kind of content or just not interested, totally understand. I just thriving on constructive criticism. :-)
The thing I wonder about this is how the GOP is going to justify giving HUGE tax incentives for all of these companies that "bring jobs" to areas when there are no jobs and they STILL don't pay taxes. This'll go swell I'm sure.
what?!? no! it's like there's policies and laws and rules and watchdogs and thinktanks and oversight and good people that actually do their fucking job to prevent that kind of thing!
but a few silicon valley assholes think they can step into any environment and start shitting gold.
even if there were waste and fraud it'd take you months, if not years, to learn the systems and policies enough to find any of it let alone get it fixed realistically.
the US, which I am a part of, just showed the perfect example of cut off our nose to spite our face. but we didn't stop at the nose. we took the whole fucking head off with all the brains and now the asshole and dick is the only one left to attempt to make any descison. and we're just going to keep fucking ourselves.
