Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "databases" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "databases is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# Loqi A database is software and or storage accessed via the software for storing data in a structured way, used by some indieweb projects https://indieweb.org/database

Zegnat Aww, it looks like YouTube finally retired the old subscription manager so no more OPML export of your subscriptions as per https://indieweb.org/YouTube#How_to_export_your_data :(
# 
cambridgeport90 Then I am really glad I chose to migrate all my primary video links over to the PeerTube copy.
# cambridgeport90 My latest video post has a PeerTube link in it, but the embed didn't work right for some reason.
# cambridgeport90 I was able to see the name automatically show in the name field, but when when I posted it, no embed. I am not quite sure what I did wrong.
# cambridgeport90 But I think that the more proprietary these systems get, the more issues we are going to have exporting crap from them. That could go one of two ways; either they could die because the decentralized ones will take over due to people getting sick of not being able to freely move their stuff, or it will go back to the way it was before the decentralized web reemerged.

# cambridgeport90 I guess you're right. But I still think the days for social media that relies on a singular organization are numbered.

@lenazun halfway through embroidering a QR code you realize you could have more easily embroidered the plain text data https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EqMnh5QXYAgAvAk.jpg (twitter.com/_/status/1342960586607489027)
