Same here. Something that pissed me off recently was Ashens having to disable audio when playing the PS1 boot sequence in his latest review. Youtube decided that he couldn't play it cause some guy had sampled the audio in one of their songs, and some dickhead decided to launch a copyright complaint.

Lately it's just been very sickening seeing what these big corporations are doing to the internet, so I'm immensely glad places like this exist.

I had a similar idea but wouldn't you need to use Reddit's API to grab the posts, or is there another way?

I made a motorsport community yesterday link . it's very empty at the moment but hopefully it'll grow with time.

In one case, an employee "viewed thousands of video recordings belonging to female users of Ring cameras that surveilled intimate spaces in their homes such as their bathrooms or bedrooms," the FTC said.

Of all the places, why the fuck would you install one of these in your bathroom? I just don't get some people

Cool, do you have a link? Tried searching for it but couldn't find it

Any motorsport communities out there (f1, wec etc)?

I use nextcloud, except on a rented server with hetzner. If I need to store sensitive personal info I usually use an rclone crypt. It's been a rock solid setup for the past 10 months or so that I've had it

I was half wondering if it was possible/allowed to create a bot account that "mirrors" content from certain subreddits such as r/formula1 to create an automated newsfeed for lemmy users to browse and comment on? I guess even if it were possible it'd rely on using reddit's API which is obviously soon to be a no-go

Joined lemmy after getting sick of reddit. The community here feels like a breath of fresh air. But disappointed at the lack of the more niche content (mostly motorsport discussion/news) but am sure that'll change with time.
