I'm spending less and less time on this video site.
Lots of great alternatives, that are open and promote community building, instead of censorship.

kinda like mysterium and dvpn right?
Very promising. Tho making a standalone search engine is a hard one, even more so so with web3..
Right now presearch relies mostly on googles results.
True, but watch this space.
Odysee has grown 300 percent in the last 6 months - standing at 30 million montly view right now.
on the left = current web2 systems
on the right = future web3 disruptors
Nextcloud and dropbox are both web2 insofar as they can only run on someone's server. IPFS has the potential to provide layer 2 solutions that completely decentralize file storage and empower users (data no longer belongs to whoever owns the server).
I would like to thank the good people of Lemmy here, who helped me avoid the logistical nightmare of setting up a matrix server, and instead choose xmpp. It's been so fun and easy to get my family on my xmpp server using Conversations/blabber app. Resource usage is minimal, and it works very easily.
Very good break-down.
Besides the meta-data leaking, I would always use xmpp Conversations app over anything else. I don't find it too outdated UI wise, but I'm no expert in this area. It does feel intuitive - somewhat like watsapp. But the blabber fork does a sligthly better job in UI
Video, voice , files - all e2e ecrypted now on conversations (xmpp) using OMEO
Works well
Conversations is indeed a far better alternative here...
- It uses a very popular protocol, xmpp
- works with e2e encryption for text, files, video, audio,
- it can be self hosted,
- it's fully open source, and has a couple of popular forks (like blabber)
- devs got no funding from intelligence agencies (like matrix has)
- it's highly efficient (unlike matrix) and runs on the cheapest of vps servers / raspberry pi
Tried audius. Looks alright. Price/token wise, it's clearly over-hyped and over-priced.
That said, I love finding new web3 alternatives to those apps of yester-year....
Soundcloud - Audius
Google search - Presearch
Dropbox - IPFS/filecoin
Youtube - Lbry/Odysee or Dtube
... the list goes on
Presearch is what I'm using. Web3 search engine.
same. I feel that YT try their hardest to disempower their users.
Other video sites empower users, and are using far more advanced technology stacks.
