It’s kinda funny tbh. Seeing all those ppl complaining yet still staying there. Or better yet: “protesting” by putting content in which they complain, directly on those platforms. If Twitter does shit and u still use it, u show that the company that runs it can continue doin whatever it’s doin.
“But what’s the alternative?!”
Blogs, actually updating your own damn websites, RSS/atom, mastodon, email.
Take a look at the Berkshire Hathaway website if you think your website needs to be fancy. They made $300B last year and still have a Geiko ad and haven’t updated the style since like 1997.
You can even run a website for free with GitHub pages. You can host a website from. Google cloud store bucket. Portugal The Man’s website is a Google Sheet.
Like years ago when youtube made a change that nobody liked and people posted Bob and the whole of Alice in Wonderland into the comment section of every Youtube video
Shoutout to Canadian comedy gang LoadingReadyRun who did ditch Twitter and move completely to Mastodon. https://youtu.be/jh5buGkQVQI
Obviously you post your future tweets to the YouTube comment section.
Left reddit because of shit moderation and here I am getting the most mundane posts deleted by .world admins.
Will the circle
Be unbroken
By and by lord
By and by
.world
A rookie mistake.
I’ve tried to join at least five different instances but .world was the only one I got a response from.
I refuse to join any instance that makes me write a fucking essay about whatever political or social thing the admin has strong feelings about.
Jeez, which ones do that?
.world asked me no questions.
.ml asked me 3 questions. Two of the were: Which communities would you use most? And why do you want to join?
So I did everything they asked of me but they never responded. Was not able to get into that one.
I started out on sh.itjust.works but then they federated with hexbear and I noped the fuck out to .world
It seems like there’s 2 types of admins on Lemmy
Nazis and tankies
Shitty moderation is on every platform is specially up an coming like lemmy, if one should leave a platform is for the lack of moderation.
Moderation means people care, even though I am quite against it. I believe that a platform with no moderation would be illegal because pedos and other kinds of psycos exist, however other than that, everything in the legal realm or greyish ( piracy and stuff ) should roam free even if it’s something perverse or completely stupid there is a downvote button for that, I don’t remember the last time I used it.
Anyways for me the last straw was the api change that back stab on developers left me with a real sour taste in my mouth.
They’d rather sign up for Bluesky and give Jack Dorsey more money.
Yep. That’s me.
I despise that bluesky is so much more engaging than mastodon.
And as soon as Al Yankovich, Ed Yong, Jeff Sharlet, MOMA, or any of my other favorite writers, journalists and entertainers get busy on Mastodon, I’ll totally pass on bluesky… but in it’s current state it is vastly more engaging than Mastodon.
Even Jake friggin’ Tapper is occasionally (and not even awkwardly) hilarious on Bluesky!?? Weird but welcome vibe over there.
BBC set up a mastadon why? Why not see how it works and they’re probably gonna keep it
YouTube sucks just as much as twitter.
Yes but where else is a big audience and you can get paid without your fans directly paying you ?
YouTube has unsustainable model and that is working right now, they will need to turn a profit. Same for twitter.
Fun fact, a lot of people don’t know that Google (and by extension, youtube) has a strong far-right bias. I remember having to look up a meme so I went into incognito and the second video on their front page was literal nazi propaganda downplaying the Palestinian genocide.
But if that isn’t enough for you, they literally got sued for protecting MULTIPLE pedophiles while they were grooming kids on their platform!! They knew what was happening and not only allowed it to happen but actively went out of their way to protect them. Multiple times. Holy shit.
Not sure which YouTuber you’re referring to, but why not comment on it or at least call them out directly?
