Bluesky is by definition one of the things mentioned by the OP, they're a commercial site, backed by venture capital, which recently received a round of financing on the order of 15 million by a freaking blockchain company, and i remember recently hearing they just plain don't have a path to profit so it's the same story as all the others. They ARE going to enshittify sooner or later. Here's Cory Doctorow on this.
I can think of one: it's FUCKING annoying, I'd be quite fine with the creator watermark in the video itself (and many do so), but that extra tacked-on logo clip, usually at 2-3 times the volume of the clip itself, is EXTREMELY annoying, i understand what you say but this is also a legitimate reason
Doesn't that require an external account and running the fucking Origin client on device? I've seen that go to ludicrous levels of discounts (currently at freaking 92% discount) but FUCK THAT!
Same, been going through my backlog and only rarely adding to it, although the Humble Choice subscription which i still can make myself leave keeps growing it slowly đ
Person uninformed about these things here with an uninformed question: What are the chances that the Mozilla Foundation itself can be forked like the code can be?
I fully understand the argument and kinda agree. That said, here's why i still use the Telegram self-chat just like OP, you can suggest a note-taking app replacement if you think:
Paste a link, instant preview of it without user intervention, can play it right on the app if it's audio/video if i want or get a preview of it if it's just a page without opening a full browser (this puts it automatically above a "synced notepad" which is what i understand note taking apps tend to be)
Synced across devices
Both desktop and mobile
Private, no one else sees it
Easy and convenient, i usually have Telegram running already, just switch to it on browser or desktop and copy or paste the thing
Gimme a note taking app that has all these, that is not a big program needing lots of resources to run all the time, and that i can self-host for the server part (or E2EE P2P like Syncthing) and we're cooking!
