Add Youtube to the list...

[-] casmael@startrek.website 34 points 11 months ago

Yeah YouTube is one of the more annoying ones imo

[-] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 11 months ago

Yeah. Lack of any viable alternatives really sucks with YouTube in particular. Hosting video is too damn expensive.

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

To me the most annoying part is everyone is so entrenched in youtube they either need to accept its a service they should pay for or start looking at migrating. There cant be any viable alternative if there isn't an audience.

[-] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 11 months ago

Lemmy didn't have an audience for about 4 years until it did.

[-] jivandabeast@lemmy.browntown.dev 8 points 11 months ago

What's happened to YouTube? It's been more or less the same experience for me.

Unless this is about ads? But tbh i don't even consider that to be remotely on the same scale as the issues with Reddit and Twitter

[-] Arello@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

At least they've had (bad) attempts at blocking adblockers recently. Search function has became almost unusable etc.

Add most of the commercial internet to the list

[-] KpntAutismus@lemmy.world 64 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

we have alternatives to both. people just need to switch.

but youtube is really hard to replace.

[-] 768@sh.itjust.works 12 points 11 months ago

Don't worry, there's TikTok. /s

SEO might actually enshittificate YT or make it dependant on AI. Both are hard to deal with from a privacy or open source POV.

[-] Holyhandgrenade@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Nebula.tv has some promise. It's not free but it's very cheap and creator-owned. Plus there's no ads. But it can never be a true replacement for Youtube because it doesn't allow just anyone to upload there.

[-] Opafi@feddit.de 6 points 11 months ago

What about Peertube as an alternative?

Like, I use neither. Just curious.

[-] covert_czar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 11 months ago

Hard to monetize + server costs

[-] covert_czar@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

Perfect from the user side but not that great for content creators and server owners

[-] kylian0087@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Your best bed with youtube is odysee. It is not perfect but much better then youtube.

[-] jtk@lemmy.sdf.org 38 points 11 months ago

A direct, very intentional, assault on major social media by fascists.

[-] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Wouldn't exactly say fashisim is to blame but rather simply corpos want maximize profit on a hinherently unprofitable business models. Like I'm personally not seeing much ideology getting pushed anywhere. Granted I hardly spend time on Twitter but all I've been seein on x is furry tits and on the other platforms just ads getting pushed. From what I can tell you can say what ever and no one will hear you over the ads.

[-] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

There is not much „maximizing profit“ in allowing fascists back on twitter. Elon is throwing money away for his political goals.

I have Twitter completely blocked, just from the news alone it's clear Elon is pushing a political agenda at the expense of the business, which means it's the intended point, because he's not dumb. It doesn't matter what you specifically would see in your timeline these days, assuming you would follow better-than-garbage people. The platform is directly being advertised to the world as a place for fascist ideology to go unchecked. The people that know that, and stay on the platform specifically for that reason, are following a very different set of accounts and they're getting a huge, daily dose of empowerment as Elon lets it flow freely, even engages in it regularly. Again, intentionally.

[-] aniki@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Twitter, instagram, facebook, reddit -- DNS blocked on my network. The addition of that simple friction to viewing those sites has completely broken me of the crutch. [Plus the Murdock-block plugin and I'm in a great place.]

[-] jtk@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I went an extra step and made myself a Firefox add-on a few years ago. It takes a regular expression, scans all element attributes for values matching the expression, and applies a given CSS style to those elements. Given a pattern like... (Holy hell, you can't really post a regular expression on lemmy, it's trying to do some markdown stuff to it, but it involves the domains of all the sites I hate like twitter.com, x.com, facebook.com, etc...), and the style visibility: hidden, all links to those sites, no matter what page I'm on, are completely removed from my internet experience. I never see them.

Edit: Oh the regex issue was actually because my add-on was filtering the elements with twitter.com, x.com, etc. as it's supposed to :) I can't even see my own comment unless I turn it off.

[-] aniki@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

That's amazing! Do you have the source anywhere? I've always wanted to dabble in simple Firefox plugins

Am I the only one who is frustrated about the text placement over the colors?

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 6 points 11 months ago
[-] Fridgeratr@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

I think they wanted to avoid "Reddit Twitter becoming becoming worse worse"

[-] laughingsquirrel@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 11 months ago

For me, it's not the text placement itself but the mapping of color and text. Reddit should be red, Twitter should be blue 🧐

[-] Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg 17 points 11 months ago

I'm colorblind so I could be way off... But it looks like the red one is Twitter and the blue one is Reddit which just seems ironic lol

[-] MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

i will pray for your sensor array comrade

[-] Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg 2 points 11 months ago

Easily top 10 replies to "I'm colorblind so I could be way off" 😂

You're 100% correct

[-] fne8w2ah@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

Fuck spez and elmo.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 10 points 11 months ago

In 2023... Why would you use either?

[-] sbv@sh.itjust.works 19 points 11 months ago

to be where the people are?

I love the idea of our little corner of the Internet, but it doesn't have the content or the users of the incumbents.

[-] caveman8000@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago
[-] MimicJar@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Conceptually I get what you're saying, but I've never used Twitter and I dropped Reddit in July cold turkey.

I have had no issues being where the people are just sticking to the Fediverse.

I don't feel like I've missed anything. I did pick up Mastodon, but that's just lurking. I picked up a few news apps to fill in a blank or two, but those usually end up on Lemmy anyway.

Easy. Twitter is where my metal homies are. Reddit for baseball. I don't care about the political angle of each. That's not why I'm there.

[-] casmael@startrek.website 8 points 11 months ago
[-] jvrava9@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 months ago

The enshitification continues

[-] greenhorn@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

I more likes on my tweets than ever since Elon took over! ...And the increase is all bots.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

And here comes Discord with steel chair!

[-] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Does that say sprik?
