Amazing Picture! Awesome Fence!
Funny tho that it is an i.reddit link
I was pissed when reddit somehow took ownership of all of these images and videos with v.reddit and shit - no downloading, no source, just reddit, fuck them (sorry, rant, lol)

yeah v.reddit is especially irritating, I agree. I guess eventually we'll probably have our own media servers too, although I've been avoiding it as long as possible. We already do for the thumbnail/expando system, maybe someday we'll add full images and videos too

Perhaps you might consider sharing / collaborating / decentralizing that media resource?

WikiSpooks offers a full site backup to download, though they don't offer a bit or webtorrent of it which would be better. They would also do better if they provided a recent addition zip to add to all the other zips so that you wouldn't need to download all 5gb for a <100mb update. And then there's IPFS, etc.

After a decade away from webmastering, in the new year I will start my GlossedAndProfound.com to host/mirror my 3 projects - G&P, Bittersweet Seeds, Trutherism 101 - and maybe some Green Party stuff, most likely on MediaWiki. I would be happy to host or co-host SaidIt media there. I also hope to configure a home server as a mirror/backup - for emergencies only, slow until get fibre. Later I hope to expand it to include PeerTube, Mastodon, etc.

How/Why did Reddit claim ownership of media?

Printscreen, crop, upload. Bye reddit jerks! I also avoid the utube links. I used to be able to replace youtube with invidio. Now the links won't have the address bar where I can change it.

Now this is the shit!!! If humanity wasn't caught in the BS eternal class war for fairness and resources then with our abundant free time away from the consumerist rat race we'd be creatively improving our lives and communities.

I wonder if that counts as one organism, a bunch of organisms, or some kind of trans-organism?

it is a group of surgically conjoined trees

I know, but are they still considered separate or are they singular after being fused?

It really is a masterful job.
