Oh no Sam Seder!

Musk would probably be in more danger if he won the fight. Really a win win situation.

Local will just show content from the instance you're logged into. In your case it's lemmy.world. All means content from world and instances federated with world. All is everything, but all of lemmy is still tiny compared to reddit so it just doesn't move that fast. I usually sort by active and that keeps things fresh. "Active last x hours" also works nicely.

Don't a lot of places also have limited data plans, but unlimited data for using Meta and other big tech platforms? That's still a thing right?

Libraries need bars. I've been to a bookstore with a bar inside, it's a good move.

Yeah it's CPAC so collateral damage is... acceptable.

I sort of feel that way. I don't think I'm losing skill so much as not wanting to spend more than 3 minutes thinking about a problem.

That would probably depend on the instance creators. Donations are paying the way so far, but maybe someone will test out an instance with a registration fee or something. I don't see that working out unless every other instance is in dire straits and super unstable because they're running out of money.

We'll need a critical mass of well distributed nerds to make this happen.

This is why I like SomethingAwful forums too. Open since 1999 and an account costs $10. Just a little barrier to entry keeps out the worst people and trolls help fund the site by reregistering!

I mostly use desktop to browse and have been using the default shitjustworks site, but someone posted phtn.app above and it looks pretty nice. Discuss.online also looks just like old reddit. Looks like phtn.app works with any instance login.

It's not an alternate way to view Youtube, it's a totally separate service. You're not missing anything, if no one's using it to post content, then there's no content. Youtube is a tough one to compete with because the infrastructure needed to host that much data and distribute it is insane. Peertube is super niche and not many know about it, but I do wonder how fast scaling would become a problem if it suddenly got an influx of new users.
