This was my first time trying a sourdough starter and it seems like its worked great... so I definitely will be looking at his other content about baking sourdough and such. But good to know others think his channel is a good resource :)

Hey there. I have been establishing mine for the last 3ish weeks. I followed this tutorial: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_P1B... and literally today it seems like its ready to bake with so I'm hoping to bake my first loaf. So... I can't confirm it definitely worked but it seems to have haha

Okay well I can't speak for everyone... but I'm gonna need that thread to understand this XD

My wife just sent me these from the Adelaide one... (two videos and an image so apologies for spamming you thrice right now...)

I know I should probably just get off the platform, and I expect that before long I might end up doing so if not banned. But I've managed to have some meaningful discussions and, I think, open some peoples' eyes about the gaza genocide so its been worth it. Still fucking frustrating /rant

And yet, her post is removed for "bullying and harassment"... Literally nothing like that is going on, but its removed. And the nazi rally is left up lol. Finally, on a post about a March for Gaza today... multiple people say keep politics off the platform. God I hate boomers -.-

Meanwhile, my wife posts a Caltex boycott protest. Caltex is owned by chevron and profit from trade with israel and so on. But Chevron are also truly evil and that SHOULD be enough reason anyway. Someone asks why we are boycotting them... I explain. There's no pushback to my explanation...

My report is denied and the post stays up. All the comments on the post are saying its a racist anti-Australian march, so that's good, but the moderation team decides to leave it up, despite the fact that its a literal nazi rally and no one on the platform seems interested.... I appeal, no change.

I don't want anyone to be in a war or conflict at all. That's the whole fucking point you idiots.

Sorry... I'll get back to sharing fun game things soon but jesus...

Oh... okay that's all super helpful. I found a few random things when searching but nothing about that stuff. That's fucked :( Thank you for taking the time to respond... I really appreciate it. Why does every platform have to turn into this shit -.-

Yeah I've seen a bunch of them trying to claim that people are breaking in or something just for knocking on their door... And others where they have private conversations in the replies to public posts lol... So I guess its not all bad lol, but still disheartening

IMO the only way to use YouTube is to subscribe to specific creators and then use your subscription feed exclusively. I find it a great platform but that's the way in which I use it. The popular/trending/etc. stuff is, yeah, very different. But that goes for basically all platforms in my experience

Whats going on with bluesky? Sorry I only recently joined the site and have seen a bunch of people expressing similar posts to yours... but I have no idea whats going on and my google-fu is failing me I guess
