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 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’m done with capitalism” he writes on a phone paid for with 😧 MONEY 👻

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

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 😅

Where would be a general purpose place to use as the second platform? Something that's easy to use (and ofc not even more immoral than youtube, so not rumble or things like that).

Peertube would be my choice, thanks to p2p one won't burden an instance if a video gets too popular. Just found a nice interface to find a good instance as a videomaker depending on topic, requirements, etc: https://joinpeertube.org/instances?profile=video-maker

As with the rest of the fediverse, autonomous institutions like universities should ideally have their own instance or join a collective. Embeds get the same p2p benefits and they seem super easy to implement

I always thought it was a federated kind of platform. Not really p2p. Why do you need an instance if its p2p?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

It's p2p between the watchers, but files are hosted on a server (an instance of Peertube). With just one person watching a video there's no p2p, only server-client.

A lot of the better creators are on Nebula. I don’t think they’d take Pewds though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago

Nebula is like netflix, not youtube

[–] [email protected] 1 points 18 hours ago

Fair enough, but I was saying in the "this should become common practice" sense. I don't think anyone can just post there since it's owned by the creators, so you have to join them, it's a package deal.
