also streaming services tend not to have comments, which can halt discussion, though that can be remedied with forums, like how youtube creators used to post their stuff to subreddits

I don’t know about an alternative per se, as youtube’s whole thing is user generated content, which means alternative-wise PeerTube and it’s ilk are more fitting, though far lacking in the depth, breadth, and wealth of content found on the former. Nebula is almost the opposite of that, being a more curated catalogue of content in exchange for being a paid service. Note, I myself don’t have Nebula yet, but I do use something similar (Dropout.tv) Ultimately I think they’re just fundamentally different use cases, and fit more like an alternative to streaming services than youtube including the faults that come with not having a massive multinational company backing them for years, as does PeerTube.

and it’s working fantastically, congratulations! I’ve been considering self-hosting for a while now but I’m afraid of the responsibility :P

infodump harder

It’s mainly finding videos for me. I’ve been able to find a few interesting ones, but largely it’s either difficult to find, or not there at all. I myself have actually been considering making some videos to help the content drought, but then the ideas, or knowledge of what people could be receptive to doesn’t quite come.

also as a newpipe user, being able to search all of my selected instances at once, or with sepiasearch could be nice, but thats not up to peertube

that’s wonderful to hear! every new modding tool in the arsenal is massive. I look forward to it! sincerely, someone who has a windows dual boot exclusively to be able to use the creation kit.

you’re right, but these forums also crowdsource information which can be sorely needed, such as debugging help and problem resolution. unless we provide an alternate hub for this, we aren’t likely to see the dominance of these common forums cease.

I think reddit has a huge advantage due to search engine indexing, and the wide berth of communities which provide support for technical issues or nicher interests. It kind of brought all these into one place, which im sure is excellent in regards to SEO

you’re not wrong! back when i was considering mastodon, i found finding a good client difficult, and i understand plenty of people aren’t too fond of just using the sites anymore.

be the change you want to see in the world! sincerely, the new owner and moderator of [email protected] and [email protected], respectively

oh yeah, i had heard of that, i just didn’t recognize the name. honestly it’s made me consider offboarding from protonmail (only on the free version) since i have aliases on my own domain anyway

I bow down to your sense of comedic timing

Andy Yen controversy? May I ask?

nice cake

i have never used meetup, does mobilizon seem a decent fit? https://joinmobilizon.org/en/

to be fair, I set up calyx a while ago, back when i was only at the beginning of my privacy journey, and still thought i might need google services. Though I’ll absolutely be giving graphene a try when I can!

*sensical

try harder! fool!

I know mastodon is an opt-in search model, but yeah, search results are reddit’s biggest advantage

briar comes with calyxos, and I’ve been considering it. The shame is I don’t message all that much, and mostly use messagers for resources or distribution (can’t believe so much support is moving to discord)
