And it borks the YouTube shortcut keys, but I still love it. Incredibly useful when using a laptop/track pad.

I feel conflicted about fragmentation;

On the one side, pooling resources into one centralized community can be really good for finding and sharing helpful information.

On the other side, groupthink and conflict. Not sure I need to elaborate, we’ve all experienced it and we’ve all been guilty of it.

If Reddit were a worker coop, that’s how it would work. Maybe Lemmy should be a worker coop

Yeah, I highly doubt anyone’s gonna get punched in the face or shanked over this. Maybe some heckling out in public at most. I’m guessing anyone who is even remotely upset about this stuff is either too wise or too timid to resort to actual violence

yes, my brain apparently couldn’t decide between decentralized and federated, so it mooshed them together

PeerTube seems to be the federated (decentralized) option (similar to this). Content obv is entirely different, but maybe that’s actually a good thing. Think of it as a clean slate - a fresh canvas. tbh YouTube’s content has really sucked the past few years, and mother of bog do you see the stuff that trends nowadays when you’re signed out? It’s basically become cable tv. I started using youtube bc I hated cable tv.

I get that variety and competition can sometimes spur innovation, but it also fragments, confuses, frustrates, and ultimate drives away the userbase. Hopefully this doesn’t end up being “Linux on desktop is gonna go mainstream… any year now”

be mindful of wearing Reddit gear in public. Some folks are really upset I’ve unabashedly put you in direct danger, and we don’t want you to be the object of their frustrations pesky lawsuits

That’s basically every major corporate strategy this day and age – wait 6 months everyone will forget. They keep seeing it happen again and again, so of course they’re getting bolder and bolder. We the public need to quit being pushovers. Where we spend our time energy and money is a far more valuable vote than the one at the ballot box. We will die from our own conveniences.

I don’t know if Lemmy is the solution, but it certainly feels like the right direction to me.

I thought Matrix/Element was the discord alternative no? Does Revolt use Matrix, or ActivityPub or is it entirely its own thing?

Probably bc Mastodon toots don’t have a post title, so it looks like Lemmy just uses the first x-many characters from the toot body, which includes some markdown links.

OMG the “All” on that thing is about as useless as Mastodon"s “All”. Crap flying by so fast you can’t read it.

It will get better. We’re in basically the large scale beta test right now. It’s not like they could have seen this Reddit drama coming when it did. There’s devs hard at work, but there’s a lot on their plate. Give them some time.

Probably the interpretation of “reasonable expectations of privacy” doesn’t apply to stuff you do online in the same way it applies to stuff you do in your house with curtains drawn… bc the constitution is an out-of-date document

What about if you switch your mobile browser to Desktop Mode? That seems to work for YouTube’s fuckery where they pause videos when minimized on mobile.

But still, it’s principle. Give them an inch, they’ll take a mile. Reddit can burn.
