Surely you've already signed up for a library card at your local library, but for the few of you putting this off, here's a reminder that September is a #LibraryCardSignUpMonth!@stefan I see! Because I just realised I already follow the hourly bats account from botsin.space, so there should be some federation... @libraries

Am I missing something obvious with the negative responses to #SubClub? I've seen complaints about people being opposed to artists and other creators making any money from their work, ever, is it just more of that?@stefan I'm supersceptical of what Sub Club might bring to the fediverse. As an artist, and art interested person, I show my work and love seeing others' work here — and I have a LiberaPay account that shifts some much appreciated but small change my way every month.
But I wouldn't use Sub Club because as I understand it, it monetises the feed itself, my toots not my work. That is a drastic difference from a social space where I can show my work, make contacts, but also shoot my mouth off about whatever I want. It becomes instead a commercial space, which always makes me uncomfortable.
I don't know, but I assume that most artists will feel the same? What I do associate with monetised feeds is the kind of click-hungry, eyeball chasing sensationalism that influencers on other platforms seem to get infected with. And again, I like how few of those have managed to get a foothold in the fediverse so far.
So when I reactively reject Sub Club, it's not at all to deny other artists an opportunity to make a living, it's from the experience that premium feeds will enable an influencer culture more than they will independent, struggling creatives.
But what do I know, I'm not going to pay for any premium feed, so I won't have to pay any attention to them

I did a "Uses This" interview where I talked about my computer use. I focused a great deal on how I use FOSS tools to do my academic work:@rwg Well, maybe it's time to give it another go around...

I thought the markdown editor was top of the class but I never came to (good) terms with the Zettelkasten method... If I could tear that out, I'd probably return to the app.
