Ok one other option would be a Telegram group with 12 accounts in it and the Instant Media Bot. Its not 100% either and doesnt really work on long form. Ill put my feelers out and see what I can find. This stupidity has to have a limit, I hope.

Duh, you have. Sorry my bone head level is off the charts today.

Have you tried using Newpipe? Haven't checked in a bit but should work, I hope.

The guitar friend has not but looked at it and was interested. The teacher asked what a Nostr was. Lol thats all I have gotten back so far. I will ask them again today.

They do make the best fence posts though, they last forever. Still a very mean and nasty plant.

Thinking about it more like attending a large event is a good way to go about this. You don't show up with a bullhorn trying to meet and talk to everyone. You mingle and find the people that are interesting, develop a rapport and follow them. You keep mingling (commenting etc.) and meeting new people, some will introduce you to other people and that is the way it works. At least in my brain that seems to be the way to think about this protocol. I personally don't much care for social media, but I do love Nostr, because it is genuine people (mostly) that are interested in connecting and having a free exchange of ideas. It's a wonderful thing. Then again we do have some people like @Permanerd 🌱 💻 trying to feed me mushrooms... lol. I kid, he's a great guy imho.

I while back I worked with a blind man at a tech company. He was very tech savvy and the way he was setup at the time was all speech driven. I want to say it was the Dragon software, but I for some reason cannot recall the actual package name. He would just plug his headset in and dictate what he wanted to do/type and it would screen read the options etc. He was very capable with the keyboard as well, but without sight relied on that software package to read the text and options to him. I have lost touch with him, but hopefully this helps a tiny bit.

While I dont live in a jungle area, I do live rural with big oak and hickory trees, and I 100% agree with this. I have no desire to be stacked in a cage like a lab rat.

Honestly, someone needs to take up the Enlightenment project and run with it. It's always been one of favorites even with the quirks.
