  • Never considered that angle, interesting and probably very true. Thanks!

  • Hey, I have not touched torrents in like 10 years. I’m using Usenet which is even older but it’s just a joy when properly set up. I’d probably need a crash course on what’s what too :p

  • It did not impact this thread at all before this comment which was my point exactly.

  • I think part of pleasantness is not bringing politics into things that weren’t intended to be about politics.

  • What features are missing from piefed, or, why aren't we reccommending piefed instead of lemmy?

    Jump

  • Apps make or break those platforms. Lemmy apps are way better than what Mastodon has for example (but I have to tip my hat to Phanpy). We got really lucky that Lemmy exploded in popularity due to Reddit API changes which meant many app developers gave Lemmy a shot. I probably wouldn’t use Lemmy so much if Voyager didn’t fill the hole Apollo left in my heart.

  • I didn’t mean Nebula would be the answer but many Nebulas that would do better or worse based on their own decisions rather than everyone being beholden to a single corporate overlord.

  • I tried it some time ago. No algorithm behind it so if someone wasn’t already watching random Wikipedia pages this won’t make them do it.

  • As long as artists need to support themselves in a capitalist environment it’s not reasonable for us to expect them to share their content freely. If we increase the amount of those small walled gardens then big corporations are no longer in control and we can rethink how we can compensate their work but it’s not fair to skip this step.

  • Agreed, but I also wouldn’t mind if someone tried to work on an algorithm that would be entertaining while also being more beneficial to society. I don’t think it’s impossible to do and maybe people would be more okay with that as a replacement rather than having them quit cold turkey.

  • I don’t think it’s entirely fair to say that all money on YouTube comes from ads. IIRC nearly half comes from subscriptions and each Premium watcher is basically worth much more than ad-supported ones. My thinking is similar to yours - creators need to host things themselves and the next step would be creating coops that optimise infrastructure costs and deal with stuff like payment processing for subs. Nebula is one, Floatplane is another but with LTT yuck. We need more, especially non-US based. And people need to sub those too.

  • In all honesty I don’t understand how PeerTube is supposed to scale with users once it gets content. Hosting, transcoding and streaming video is super expensive. There’s also a matter of making money from videos and without financial incentive it’ll be hard to compete with commercial solutions (in a capitalist hellholes that most of us live in). Community funding can keep up with hosting text but can barely keep up with hosting pictures, let alone something more, unless you’re an internet archive or something.

    People who are on Nebula already made it in Youtube and they’re so big that they just want to make more money. They provide nice service for the money but I don’t think they will come support your revolution for free.

  • What about AT protocol?

    Jump

  • https://threadsky.app/

    Very slow at the moment, probably due to people looking for Reddit alternatives but was fine couple of weeks ago when I first saw it. Seemed okay if you’re okay with AT Proto (it’s not that decentralised really).

  • I had a misfortune of posting this piece of news to technology community on Lemmy.world and my inbox is hammered with replies from accounts created on the same day - they do not instil me with confidence. Plenty of people brag that they got banned for calls for political assassinations.

    Reddit people are too incompetent to be truly evil like Meta is. I’m sure they’re mostly concerned about remaining profitable hence some cautious moves to monetise porn subreddits over the last 2 years.

  • What if we called instances providers?

    Jump

  • I’m afraid that when I say „my Lemmy provider” people will think I’m referring to my drug dealer.

  • It doesn’t matter what Reddit’s policy is when they outsource decision making to India where decisions seem to be taken without context or at random. It’s usually up to volunteer moderators to set the rules and tone for a community.
