I know it's not as simple as that, but creators are annoyed of these platforms, mirroring your content on the Fediverse is easy through PeerTube and having 'uncensored' or less restricted videos be uploaded onto PeerTube can help.

Well I want artists to be paid spotify often doesn't pay them fairly it's one of the reasons I personally try to pay for a direct copy of the music I listen to, to own and use the MP3 in whatever way I see fit (for personal use).
Yeah this isn't good at all especially when they market themselves as secure but just have full access to all the data.
There's gotta be something out there better than these crappy systems ready to throw you under a bus under barely any pressure.
That sounds amazing, I hope that happens and you both have a wonderful time, Maybe take him out for a picnic or something to celebrate.
Always a helpful thing with how the world is.
Oh nice, Never hunted myself but have used a .22 in the past. Hope getting your new hunting rifle goes well and you can sight it in correctly for hunting season.
Hopefully you get to do what you wish to do in the future.
I've been watching Grand Design and trying to finish off Season 2 of Peacemaker.
