hey quick question, why does your peertube instance not allow other instances to follow it? Would be great if I didn’t have to make an account just to like and subscribe?
This also leads to the weird behavior where I can’t watch, like and follow through other peertube servers but I can watch, like and follow from mastodon.
Anyways, otherwise a pretty cool project, good luck to y’all!
It’s because they aren’t trying to sell as many t-shirts as possible (like fashion retailers) but instead sell to their hardcore fans. People who are willing to wear a LTT shirt might even be happy if it’s just for those who really identify with it instead of random people buying it to use as a t-shirt.
tl;dr: because they can
It’s just a different journey of a person discovering that eating healthier feels good. Like the american food he talks about all has a ton of oil and sugar, both aren’t healthy and fat for example makes you feel sluggish.
So then he goes and tries other cultures, figures out that some people in europe eat the same food but with less sugar and less fat.
He could have researched what americans ate decades ago, I bet there was plain unsweetened corn flakes and bread, maybe even whole wheat bread. Stuff like that totally is healthy and good for you, just not fried and topped with sugar.
In europe we are on the way to add even more fat and sugar as well, it’s the most delicious flavors after all - but having that kind of fun every morning comes at a toll.
Also he says that he “just doesn’t like the fatty and sweet food”, which I don’t fully accept, he just isn’t used to this kind of diet and isn’t used to feeling shitty afterwards.
You’ll feel better eating healthier is my point.
I think it’s vegan and also try to avoid it due to it being unhealty. Canola oil is cheaper, healthier and better for animals and nature, so I buy that. I don’t avoid all products with palm oil.
But all of this is out of a mix of concerns but a lack of will to fully cut it out. Idk I think you can say that in the end I don’t care very much.

I found another interesting article:
Simon Harman, 23, Loki’s project lead, said Mr Watkin’s plan was by and large a surprise — and one, he conceded, that might not be optimal for the company’s emerging reputation.
Mr Harman says Loki did not invite 8kun onto its open source network nor help build it.
But some Loki staff may have advised 8kun administrators “to a limited extent”, he said, and provided some help to users hoping to access it.
“Generally, if we get requests for technical information about our platform, we’ll just give it out. It’s all up open source anyway,” he said.
“There’s definitely been interaction between 8chan users and the Lokinet team. I’m not going to say that that hasn’t occurred, but I don’t think it’s anything out of the ordinary.”
But I think all in all there isn’t clear intent here, so we’ll just have to see what the future brings.
Good luck to your team and such.
I’d like to host a router if there ever is a fork that doesn’t need the Oxen stake.
Pleroma is cool as well, but since mastodon allows to move your profile to a different server while taking followers with you I feel like this is a killer feature. I can confidently tell new users that it doesn’t matter which instance they join at first, they can always move later. Like this the feeling of “missing out” is relieved a bit.
I see that the announcement advertising post wasn’t on 8chan or 8kun but overchan, which makes sense, since jeff worked on nntp-chan. Sorry that I claimed they did.
8kun (rebrand after 8chan was banned) does host their site on lokinet and still does, for two years now though, right?
Also there is this reddit post where someone claims that
So it’s pure coincidence that Ron’s father Jim Watson, who has been hosting 8chan and is now running 8kun, has transferred some of his old business into a “Loki Technology Inc.” of his own some time ago (see https://www.5ch.net), and that 8kun’s planned “Project ODIN” caters to the same Norse mythology theme. It almost made me wonder, especially since Loki’s dev Jeff has also been active on endchan.
Their name actually is Jim Watkins and wikipedia also states that
Watkins also runs the Manila-based business Loki Technology.
What is going on here? Nothing to do with the Oxen, lokinet etc?
Is it just a coincidence that the biggest site hosted on your network is 8kun?
Also: $17k min investment to help the network, lmao that’s insane and I can’t imagine that does any good.
You could get a second phone?
