Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'm done with Google! Watch me rant on Google's Youtube! Earns me money!

So... yeah.

Why are we giving neonazis attention, again?

I think it's ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.

Generic degoogling/google alternatives video from Pewdiepie, but he won't get rid of Youtube.

I don't think there is much in the way of alternatives. Scaling to millions of users is very hard.

There are a few platforms. Nebula, Floatplane, Peertube. I think Patreon allows you to host videos directly on their platform too.

But none of these platforms offer free access plus a built-in ad function.

I like how Lemmy somehow still finds negativity here. Never change lmao.

An internet celebrity in the millions of followers is going FOSS. Cheer up. On the downstream, this may bring Lemmy more users and put more visibility on open software.

I mean where else is he going to reach the most YouTube/Google users?

[–] pipes@sh.itjust.works 28 points 1 day ago (9 children)

For Pewdiepie this makes a lot of sense, he was literally the top youtuber. But uploading also somewhere else (no exclusivity required) needs to become mainstream yesterday. We have technical colleges far from the US posting educational video content for a website embed on youtube only, it's madness 😅
