Most certainly, congrats on 10 years! I think I might have come across your videos some time closer to the pandemic, and I was pleasantly surprised to later see your videos on the Fediverse, here on MakerTube! [And again, thank you for doing so!]Goodness, I certainly know that struggle on the balancing of mental health. I'm glad that there's at least greater current recognition of the need to balance it -- even if accessibility of resources can remain an issue, depending on where someone is.But yeah, a good sense of community and support may hopefully help somewhat with that -- and for what little part that any internet comments may play in that greater goal, I hope we can provide a bit of such here on the Fediverse, especially (as relevant here) on PeerTube instances such as this one, to complement the experiences of the wider world.

    @bertohuargo Thanks for the kind words! The wave of positive comments is really helpful indeed. And you are right, the Fediverse is a much friendlier place to communicate than the big corporate networks indeed. Feels to me like the internet is healing, at least in this small part of the whole. I hope it’s going to grow and stay healthy and friendly. :)
