@matty @SuperDicq If REEEddit gets Digg’d then its inhabitants are probably going to flood other areas of the web. And if so, get your gatekeeping gauntlets on.

A problem with ‘following’ organizations or any account this isn’t an actual person is that they talk to the sky. Their posts might as well be coming from a script running on a cron timer. I’m sure this is a problem inherited from the twitter-cloniness that mosto/*oma is designed around.

@paul @alternativeto History informs us of this. Anybody remember Hooktube? The problem that we keep returning to is that ultimately, google are the ones who hold the entire yt video library hostage. People who upload videos need to stop using youtube altogether.

From ‘fake privacy/security initiatives’: It’s the same situation as with search engines that don’t use their own index - you’re completely dependent on the violators you’re proxying.

@jxself This is the beginning of the slippery slope.

@xianc78 Of all of the different sources I push through mpv, youtube is the only one that consistently changes things and breaks functionality. Other video hosts are happy to serve up files on ancient versions of yt-dl without any issue.

@charliebrownau @ludibrium uh kinda

@strypey It is in situations like this that would be really nice if browsers offered a way to control the of priority between addons. Like if you want one primary addon to handle everything, and then only hand off requests to a next-in-line addon after certain criteria have been met.

But the real solution would be to have sane and intuitive controls built directly into the browser for controlling requests instead of relying on a smattering of addons.

@charliebrownau @ludibrium I’m past trying to help the cattle. All that’s left is to point and laugh.

@Suiseiseki @Nelenese

Don’t forget mpv+yt-dlp works just as well

@Nelenese Youtube’s software is so “good” that it has to be forced on users and held up by legal bullying. Wow, google, that’s such good software!

@FUCKINGWHOCARESDUDE @SuperDicq
People stayed after they closed up the source
People stayed after they began banning subs
People stayed after they introduced shadowbanning
People stayed buyout after buyout

Reddit will never change because reddit users are without principles
I want none of them in the fediverse

@kkarhan @luckytran Would you care to name names?

@MartinJJ The names will change, but the model has proven successful. A narrative network is firmly in place and if you can control people’s perspectives you can control their actions.

Imagine actually using windows kek

@waifu You can only eradicate it from your own life. No amount of education, derision, persuasion, pleading or suggestion will ever tear normies away from such entrapment as proprietary disservices.

@tinosoft @thor Collapse is cope. We will (and are being) be slowly seduced into a world of total top-down control where every conceivable human action and/or life decision is permissioned.

single bedroom log cabin, 1 bedroom tiny home
or 1 bedroom caravan on your own land (or someone else’s land with permission)

*single bedroom rickety cabin tiny home deep out in the woods with rodent and insect infestation (they have revolving door hidden somewhere), no plumbing and huge trees looming over the roof that could kill you at any moment (which of course cost thousands to remove a single tree), asking price: hundreds of thousands of dollars.

millennial living standards

But sure, we’re just lazy.

Meanwhile our parents scored homes in the center of Mr Roger’s neighborhood for a fraction of the price with all the amenities and had the luxury of being able to tour the premises before checking out the next vacant cheap finished home in line to make a decision at their leisure.
