  • Why Defederating from Facebook/Meta is So Important

    Jump

  • My voices say that de-fed is best and I worry that not everyone will perceive the terrible consequences of not doing so. and yay for star trek :-)

  • Twitter threatens to sue Meta over Threads app – report

    Jump

  • This is so Elon playbook , send in the lawyers and see what happens. TBH these games are irreverent to normal people, lets de-fed from any corporate instance and just build a better community

  • Why Defederating from Facebook/Meta is So Important

    Jump

  • My gut tells me we should defed all corporate instances as a matter of policy. Our uniqueness is at jeopardy , think of threads like the borg.

  • Theory: the only reason Meta cares about the fediverse / ActivityPub is so that threads isn't labeled a "gatekeeper" under the EU's new "Digital Markets Act"

    Jump

  • I guess IF the fediverse decided universally not to fed and moved the code away from threads adding features say meta did not want, then they would be seen as de-facto gatekeeper again.

  • What is the most decent instance right now? TILvids?

    Jump

  • Decent instance? Not sure that is the right question as all channels on any instance are equally visible. So from a viewer point of view any instance with good uptime and open registrations that you feel confident will have longevity will do.

    If you are uploading than all the above and decent upload quotas are the key imo.

    Activity levels are not really the point I think

  • Peertube platform list here

    You have to open a account to :-

     
            Comment videos
    Subscribe to channels to be notified of new videos
    Have access to your watch history
    Create your channel to publish videos

    Although you should be able to follow specific platforms via something like mastodon

  • Youtube alternatives | Foss and privacy centered alternatives

    Jump

  • I really do not think that they are aiming to join the fediverse , the subscription model really suggests they want your money and have broadcast aspirations. I also think that the offerings are fairly low level atm of course that might change but I doubt it.

  • Youtube alternatives | Foss and privacy centered alternatives

    Jump

  • This by no means a expert explanation. But as I understand it peertube and owncast are video sharing sites that operate much like lemmy but for video. So people start platforms ( like a instance on lemmy ) and then other people can join said platform and watch the videos , however like lemmy you can watch videos across all platforms ( I assume much like lemmy as long as the platform admins allow ). Both peertube and owncast say they are Fediverse projects and as such it should be possible to access the videos on other fediverse enabled applications although not sure how well this in implemented.

    info

    peertube specific info

    I have to say as youtube alternatives I think they fit the bill best as it is free to watch , open source and quite an elegant solution , clearly early days but none the worse for that imo

    Under the hood I believe it is a distributed load system ( a bit like the BBC's Iplayer ) but that is beyond my pay grade.

    EDIT

    BTW peertube = youtube alterative owncast = twitch alternative tilvids = peertube platform

  • POLL - Will you stay on lemmy?

    Jump

  • Yes

  • How do pre-reddit influx lemmy members feel?

    Jump

  • I have read the responces , and I applaud the general tone of both sides of the discussion. I have to just say that without view exchange , and expressly with view suppression , those who feel suppressed become even more intrenched. I for one learned from the debate.

  • Added some more known isues

  • Just wanted to say thanks Ruud for all the work and expense. Your diligence is obvious. Thank you.

  • Can we organize AMAs to help Lemmy/Kbin grow?

    Jump

  • Oh that would be amazing again though the infrastructure would have to be able to cope. Probably would need to be hosted on the most stable instance and close signups while it was on, and absolutely coordinate orher instances so they could be prepared.
