(I mean, I kinda like the new design, but why did they remove grouping by default, e.g. DMs, system alerts and low priority rooms listed separately from other rooms? It doesn't make much sense to me.)

Odysee removed LBC bid option from the text/file upload pages (when editing an existing post, the option is still there)
(No article about it)
(So they finally started their migration away from LBRY, and embrace the Arweave ecosystem, with the new crypto service which requires a separate account, doesn't seem that trustworthy... I mean, it's ok for me, as long as they allow to upload content without it, I'll just ignore it. Not sure how content promotion will work though, e.g. will my content still appear on the top of the Tech category, but if not, I'll rather take the loss of views, than registering a crypto service which I can't find the source code of, can't really trust (in case you're a new viewer, the Fossery Tech project stands for FOSS, only uses FOSS for everything, except for a few OS drivers and news sites). If they decide to restrict uploads, I'll probably make a separate LBRY channel.)

Curl project is cracking down on AI slop bug reports, reporters get instant ban:
https://news.itsfoss.com/curl-ai-slop/
("But what if they judge that incorrectly and ban legit reporters? They can use it for malicious purpose to ban people they don't like" - people will say. That can be an issue of course, but at the same time, AI generated trash takes away time from answering legit bug reports, so it can be a good thing if done right. It's hard to judge though, it's either this or that problem.)

I occasionally photograph birds, both stills and short videos. I'm looking into peertube to post video clips.

Anyone have recommendations for a server? I browsed a few instances.

peertube.tv is not accepting new accounts at this time. videos.trom.tf looks good (unlimited space per user; topics apropos to my uses).

Bonus: 10-min video about Green Sea Turtles in Cyprus that's worth a watch: https://videos.trom.tf/w/jGLrkirLAadz1fXGEkPMut
