Thats what some people need to learn. A street is for driving, yet it can be occupied to protest fascism. A factory is for producing stuff, yet can be occupied for protesting fascism (and other things). Thats what we‘re doing all around the world now and so help us science, we wont stop until the fascists fuck off.
You‘re avoiding my point because you know I‘m right. We dont want corpo apologists here. Foss software is dependent on cooperation. Cooperate or leave.
Although I do understand the idea. but you really need to check your ego, mate.
Just offer help or suggest different ways than it is currently done. If you have the faintest idea of hosting and/or programming, this is not how to get your way.
So stop bitching and start working or shut the fuck up.
And equally important: another proprietary service that has a single point of failure which is large enough that governments will know about it and target it if they want to silence dissent. Federation or completely standalone is the only way to go imo.
Important: you do not need to have an account on a peertube instance. You can follow from nearly (iirc) any fedi instance. I have successfully done so from mastodon and I have heard lemmy should work, not sure though. You just copy the address of the channel you want to follow from the browser and paste it in your search bar on mastodon.
The discoverability is incredibly bad. Peertube has a ton of videos and more servers than lemmy by a long shot iirc. The problem is that the „frontend“ has seen no love like ever. There recently came an app which is nice but otherwise, its very underloved.
Feel free to voice your concerns in !peertube@lemmy.ml for example. The devs should be available through the fedi somewhere.
I think the idea in itself is good. Imagining an instance where a whole lot of reddit communities mirror just for safekeeping. Using this will likely get you banned from reddit in 10 seconds though. It is a very powerful way of stripping reddits walled garden so they will fight it tooth and nail. What we need is legislation to protect something like this.
they need a diversion. Like a magician (or more accurate a pickpocket) they will take anything to make people blind while they amass their power. It is a sickness of the mind. They are addicted to power and ever anxious to loose it. Minorities are a good enemy for the people to blame the problems on that these people either cause themselves or dont want to take care of. In the past it was witches, nowadays it is other minorities.
minorities have been fighting for a place in the world for a long time and there have been significant improvements. But that is not a positive development if you want to rule supreme. If you‘re power crazed, you need people to fall in line. Otherwise it wont work. We have ample evidence that only a sufficiently subdued population will not rise up against authority.
Mods and admins are mostly for technical and legal issues. You can choose your instance by the rules or male your own. Managing your convos is your job on the fedi.
Braindead take. You can want to exchange ideas without being harassed. There are rules in every instance and community. Mods enforce the community rules. Admins take care of technical issues. Dont like it. Make an unmoderated and (soon) defederated instance. If you just want to shit on people, just move to threads.
