I’m trying to selfhost some Lemmy communities just for fun :)
Buddhist, researcher, FOSS, Linux, selfhosting enthusiast, plantbased, anarchism and MLM interested.
Trying to be nice. I really dislike the Reddit style aggressive comments. If you are rude I will block and ban you.
I understand your point. I suspect the main advantage the post isn’t making clear is that PeerTube doesn’t have the same ensnaring algorithm that YouTube does, so it doesn’t keep you endlessly watching the next video or at least suggesting another video to you.
I honestly find this a negative which is spread around carelessly as a positive. On Peertube I see zero content except linux. On Mastodon I can only either find that one star trek dude, linux and foss dudes, or libs complaining about politics. Lemmy is easier to find stuff but has very little content.
I’ve let go of all other google and social media formats but youtube has actually good content and honestly a good algorithm. I search for something I want or watch something from my youtube rss feed then it recommends what I want. I have ads and tracking blocked. I only get the content I want.
I can’t say the same for most of the fediverse honestly.
I think that’s kind of an advantage of a lot of fediverse alternatives is they’re comparatively “boring” in that they force you to be more intentional.
That’s honestly just showed me how pointless it all is…
Yeah I liked that too then they suddenly say they replaced it with Peertube… which doesn’t make anything sense to me.
Replacing YouTube with reading is a great idea but replacing YouTube with peertube still makes no sense. No tracking for .0000000001% of the content.
It makes their goals in this post unclear to me. Is it to degoogle or to devideo.
Thanks!
Mailbox.org is a commonly recommended service beside Tuta and Proton. I was going to switch from Proton to Tuta to have more custom domain emails but it doesn’t allow service outside of its apps. Mailbox.org is cheaper and allows 50 custom domains :)
Thanks! What’s a proton simple login? In this use case could I use my name.com domain? I think mailbox can do this!
How would they if they can’t see it
