[Fediverse] The more people and content creators move to fediverse, the more RSS feeds will be available for people. (lemmy.ml)

I'm kind of sick of opening my tor browser everyday just for looking at important updates.

luckily if we get more people to join the fediverse, which RSS is an available option by default. in the future I might only need to just open my RSS feeds.

the problem is little to no content creators use the fediverse, even unaware that doing this is a good thing because of "First Mover Advantage". on top of that, unlike that term doing this has no risks involved. you're just expanding your audience.

People around the internet should ask their favorite youtubers and content creators to also use a Mastodon and Peertube account, maybe get them a crossposter software to do everything for them. if that exists.

like you and everyone else, I don't want to rely on big social media corporations to connect with people.

I hope this message gets to somewhere, repost this or tell other's to do the same.

How many GB are we really talking about per week here? Most instances seem to have costs of between 15 and 40€/month and some of them have over a TB of data...

Roughly ~20-80 GB/week resulting after a couple of years in ~100-200$/month

That's huge! Who uploads so much they need 80GB :o

Have you taken into account that the final space occupied by a video includes several files transcoded at different resolutions?

I mean, yeah for sure but still that is a lot. It's Twitch Replays or something (also no need to use 4k necessarilly).
