I was looking at it around the beginning of this year, so it would have been with Sepia. And if you search something simple like ‘sewing’ or ‘movies’ you shouldn’t get topics such as modern politics as your top results. That’s not just out of left field, that is a whole different ballpark. If I did a search for ‘sewing’ and got embroidery results…ok. Same game, just different position. Makes a bit more sense. You’re still stitchin’.

Also, using something like ‘literature’ shouldn’t get you the same top results as ‘sewing’ does.

SUPER FRUSTRATING!!!

Hi! One day I want to move from YouTube to PeerTube (in the process of getting some things done before I do) and when I was trying to explore it, one thing that frustrated me was trying to search for anything on the platform.

I tried to do a searches for random topics and the top search results instances/servers that had nothing to do with what I was looking for.

This frustration was also echoed by somebody with experience on the platform that I ended up talking with. They were able to direct me to the specific instances I’d want because they’re a part of them too, but it shouldn’t be so difficult to find what you want, so my question is are you trying to fix the search engine on your platform to make it more user friendly so that most of your platform isn’t seemingly word of mouth (so to speak)?

Some people just ‘speak like that’ using hyperbolic examples. So correcting them on using the word ‘exaggeration’ when they used a form of exaggeration is being the grammar police when nobody called for you. There’s nothing wrong with using the word ‘hyperbole’, but there’s nothing wrong with the word they used either.

From Merriam-Webster…

(Woops…hit meant to add)…saying exaggeration instead of hyperbole isn’t wrong.

I said it above and I’ll say it again…a Nero situation might just happen at the next Olympics and it wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

So what you’re saying is that the UK needs a repeat of Cable Street to drive home that fascism isn’t welcome and drive out wannabe-Mosley.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we had a Nero situation happen at the next Olympics.

I once applied for a government position. Entry level admin. I had been working admin for 7+yrs plus various volunteer positions since I was 18.

It was about 2hrs to fill out the form and answer all their questions.

I didn’t hear anything back after a couple of weeks and was like, ‘Ok. I should have heard back by now, I didn’t get picked for an interview, whatever.’

ONE YEAR LATER I got an e-mail telling me that they weren’t going ahead with my application.

If it’s been a year and you’re reaching out then it had better say that a new position has opened up and would like to talk to me about it, not ‘We’re going ahead with other candidates.’ Also, if that’s when you’re getting an answer then it kinda looks like, ‘We finally saw your application.’ The slow turning wheels of bureaucracy…

It’s fuckin’ ridiculous.
