Apparently my Fedi promo video is giving error messages on YouTube (shocker).

@_elena #YouTube has become more and more problematic throwing error messages for all sorts of reasons. Most things i watch are there given the sheer amount and variety of content vs. Peertube.

I use #FreeTube and at times have to change #VPN connections in order to watch videos, at times some will only open in a browser.

It's definitely a hot mess. I wish #Peertube were a viable alternative for more than just #foss stuff but alas, it's not even close for most of what people watch/want.

@kleisli @_elena you're way ahead of me, i have no idea what he's on about in sentence *one*

@aerion @_elena jep; I did that email-comparison, too (in this talk, recorded in 2024, context: higher education institutions: https://video.notizlab.de/w/aaf8hYURi9JF3VLooSdtbn)

Would be crazy, if you could only send/receive emails from the same provider as you're using. Especially, since many HEI have their own email infrastructure.

@aerion @_elena

I don't get it, either, especially with all the social manipulation that everyone knows the centralized platforms do. It's mind-boggling to me that most people are just fine with it or think that they can somehow "win" against the censors.

No, you can't. It isn't a battlefield that one side can theoretically conquer and dominate. They have the "delete" button, you don't. End of story. Stop with the denial and just switch already.

@d1re_w0lf @_elena Daring billionaires to buy up all the fediverse servers or crush their ability to stay running by telling them they can't actually does come across as a bit villainous in a really subtle and ironic way that is actually brilliantly evil.

@_elena I'll never understand people rooting _for_ the billionaire class.
