  • I’m still way too new to PeerTube so my comment might not mean much.

    My guess is your best bet might be your own instance - from what I’ve seen, a lot of instances, understandably, seem to have upload limits.

    https://dalek.zone/ seems to have the most videos available while allowing new sign-ups. Right now they’re going through a big update so the site isn’t loading well. I believe they have a 20GB upload limit.

    https://video.4d2.org/ seems to have the second most videos available while allowing new sign-ups. They have a 20GB upload limit.

    https://peertube.wtf/ would be the third that’s also in English. It does not look like they have an upload limit, but they have a rule about being active on their site.















  • Looking after yourself is the first step towards looking after others

    that’s been one of my motivations :) i have a wonderful, but very picky senior kitty who has a lot of food allergies and now needs frequent medication. i always worry that if something happens to me, she’ll be put down since she’d be harder to adopt out. not to mention she loves me very much and i don’t want her to be sad. fediverse cat tax?

    i would also love to be in a place where i can have more pets and a family someday

    and i’ve experienced and witnessed a lot of injustice being as sick as i have all these years. i don’t want anyone to go through what i’ve been through. i’ve thought about getting into politics a lot. and i’ve thought about taking another shot at entering the medical field. not in any position where i can work yet, so i still have time to think about all of that.


  • you know what? funny you mention that - i likely just got below 100kg around this time last year :)

    i’ve lost about 39 pounds since may 2024 i believe? 21 pounds since january 2025 i think, and 15 pounds since august after i lost my shit finding out i had gained some lost weight back and my a1c hadn’t budged at all even though i’ve been working my ass off to lose this weight

    still have about 18 more pounds or so until i’m in overweight territory and as you can tell it has been sloooooooowwwww. i have a lot of major health issues and for most of this past decade no matter how hard ive tried ive only gotten sicker and sicker and sicker. this is the first year in years where i’ve finally seen more progress in my health rather than regress.

    i also have an upcoming appointment to check for endometrial cancer as i have bled almost every single day this year since january 6th and my endometrial lining looks huge but doing a biopsy was pushed off all year because of my age, until the most recent ultrasound where it looked way worse and my doctor was like “haha fuck”. which i know with the weight loss it’s like “did i do this or am i just dying of cancer lmao”. but there have been certain very recent positive changes that, in my very unprofessional opinion, i wouldn’t expect to see if i had cancer / the cancer was getting worse. i hope it’s not cancer, but if it is, my mind and body are in a much better position now to handle potential cancer treatment than they were one year ago. it’s been a very significant year for me. i haven’t felt like i’ve had so many reasons to feel good about myself in a very, very long time.

    i’m disabled and i have a lot of food allergies / sensitivities. my insurance is trying to have me get home delivered meals i can just microwave when im not well enough to do anything else.

    i’m allergic to soy and coconut… the meal company has almost nothing i can eat. like maybe 3 meals.

    the hamburger - not a veggie burger, actual meat - contains soy. the meat patty… contains soy. not “may contain,” actual soy protein is an ingredient of the meat patty alongside the meat.

    the mac and cheese contains coconut… it’s not vegan mac and cheese. but it contains coconut

    like why do they do this. do not the unnecessary ingredients






  • sounds like you need to make a plan on how to stay sober.

    if you are forced, i would bring that up. that the medication isn’t helpful and the issue is drug addiction, and see if your “treatment plan” can be “maintaining sobriety” rather than “treating bipolar”, as “maintaining sobriety” treats the bipolar. i know these places tend to suck with treatment and so they may not be on board, but it’s good to mention on the off-chance they say yes. in which case, you would actually be getting the treatment you need. do note that a treatment plan for this may involve some medication use, depending on the medication i wouldn’t necessarily push back, as the meds might be sobriety-specific, not mood meds.
