  • A couple of things come to mind:

    • More public institutions need to be on Mastodon or similar microblogging services, so they can publish public service announcements openly via Fediverse and RSS for everyone to read
    • More video creators and public broadcasters need to publish their videos or mirror their channels to PeerTube/Loops etc.
    • More donations or funding in general for fediverse developers and instance admins
    • More enthusiasts who post about their niche interests in niche communities on Lemmy/PieFed/Mbin

    Hi, I’ve read this statement a couple times now. These are my five cents: Your grammar doesn’t have to be perfect, your spelling doesn’t have to be perfect, your text doesn’t have to be perfect. I’ll always prefer human written text with small little errors over AI-corrected text. English isn’t my first language and I probably make errors here and there, but these can lead to funny little mistakes, maybe new words and never before read sentences get created. Human language is beautiful, despite or because of it’s errors. Have a nice day.
