Founder of Reddit and one of the developers of the RSS standard.
Huge Free speach advocate and very against intellectual “property”. He wanted knowledge to be free and accessible for everyone and killed himself after he was accused of things that could’ve brought him to prison for a very long time. He probably did these things which are kinda similar to things Sci-Hub does nowadays.
Just steal your own anxiety from others
But reddit is fundamentally built different than other social media platforms. Reddit is more like a collection of forums than a social media platform. The only thing that keeps people on reddit is the content and that can be moved.
On Youtube its the Algorithm and the Content Creators that keep people to use the platform. PeerTube and LBRY simply don’t have the creators Youtube has.
On reddit people choose what to see. On YouTube the algorithm simply is wayy more important than on reddit.
They actually are in a position to do this.
Nobody is switching to let’s say PeerTube because of something YouTube does as long as not every creator is switching too
I don’t think that’s thaat much of a deal. Most youtubers also need additional revenue streams like patreon and mearch and sponsorships.
There’s also Infinity for Everything in Development
Well Doctile Alligator is trying to implement a subscription model. Of cause you can also compile it yourself with your own API key since it keeps being Open Source
There’s going to be Sync for Lemmy soon. Maybe in a month.
I’m currently using WefWef on Android and it’s the best Lemmy app I’ve used so far but it’s a little weird to use an iOS app on android. It’s definitely driving my engagement up though
The reasons to develop it also are ideological and not ecological ones.
PeerTube won’t take off unlike Lemmy did and still does. People won’t switch from YouTube to PeerTube because the creators they watch aren’t there. Also the YouTube Algorithm is what people make use YouTube in the first place.
Reddit isn’t creator based and doesn’t necessarily need an Algorithm since the users choose what to see anyways. So the Lemmy experience isn’t actually that mich worse than the reddit experience
There is one for i2p
There’s The Pirate Bay, Zlib and a few i2p trackers. Probably a couple more. I don’t know any other.
In the next step we extract the Vanillin from the Vanilla extract and turn it into MDMA
Today I’ve seen a “meme” (It was more of a drawn image) where they laugh about Ukrains committing suicide and portrait it as the right thing to do. That was on Lemmygrad though
If that would really be true than they wouldn’t complain about being demonetized
