Its nearly impossible to replicate what YouTube it is today. The amount of storage and bandwith require is immense, also the creators coming up to a new platform without a way to get money it will really hard to have something like YouTube.

Holy shit you right. Its convenience I guess for newbies. But yeah thats really bad for privacy.

It is not only Facebook that is been block if you take the time to read the log you will see the NTP connection is being block too.

They always forgot about Linux :(

Oh I love more and more lemmy! Its just incredible they can create their own server full of stupid ideas and we stay away from that drama

Hahaha fr its starting to feel like home.

No one can force to tip and as Americans we hate the tipping culture too.

I think they are using chrome browser integrated into the app , I would love to use my own hardened firefox browser that its already install on my phone. This would a great feature to ask.

Oh wow those are incredible numbers!! And most of the videos uploaded are pure garbage. :(

Nobody? Look to be honest there are some lazy people that dont want to work but most of us will be happy to work in a socialist economy where we the workers get compensated fairly. Capitalism and open source dont go hand by hand. People is literally creating all of this amazing products for free!! Workinf for the community thats what socialism is. And also the proprietary software is more "popular" because big companies just take open source and make it proprietary then they said they created just look at Apple and RedHat.

What I heard some people said about the fediverse was that before email was controlled by big corporations you can host your own email and no issues. Nowadays its much harder for a regular person to do this because big corporations took control of the federated email. So to my understanding even this social networks are in danger of the same thing happening. Please anyone correct me if I am wrong.

Privacy now that Apple owns your data instead of Google. Apple is always calling back home , they ask for so much private information when you create an account , they control your app store and what apps you are allow to have. Even on the lockdown mode which was supposed to be the most secure it still contact apple servers and when using a VPN not all traffic pass through the tunnel , because Apple dont allow you. If you really want privacy buy a device that you own , and can control. Your privacy and security is on your hands not in a big corporation.

I uninstall the app yesterday , I feel sad that reddit has becoming this shitty app it was a great experience since I join like 4 years ago butthanksg god we have lemmy now!

Put some of the nice features behind a paywall

Stop complaining and if you want open source so bad make it. I am hardcore open source advocate but you are going beyond , they are giving out for free.

Its probably not going to last forever. Eventually they trollers will catch up and might want to take it down. And since its federated its just a few people runninga a server it will be much easier to take down. Not like reddit which is a big company have the resources and money .

These are really technical memes lol

I understand your point on the coffee shop in that you are right. Thats not exactly how capitalism works , if you open a coffee shop and become very profitable then a big company comes in putting out of business forcing you to work for them or close your place. Capitalism is brutal against small businesses. I totally support small business , that's why I believe that people should have more power not corporations.

I was using Mastodon as Twitter as most of the people I used follow move there

My problem with Capitalism is the profit over anything. The environment , workers , resources , quality , control over the things you bought. There are so many examples where corporations abuse their power.
