Even better:
Tiktok -> delete and don't use any alternative cause it's destroying your brain and wasting your time.

@theowashere @Tutanota @Mastodon @ecosia @nextcloud Imo, it depends on how you use it: if you just doomscroll, then just stop using it, but if you use it like 5-10m per day for useful content, then I'd say it's okay

YouTube ---> NewPipe

@Tutanota I like Vernissage better than Pixelfed for posting photos, it's more visual.

@Tutanota @Mastodon @ecosia @nextcloud PeerTube is a good platform to publish videos, but not a good platform to watch videos. As a user, PeerTube is really bad: you can’t create an account (as a user), so you can’t subscribe. You can’t have a timeline like Mastodon, with your latest videos. Discovery is awful, and there’s no incentive to use the platform (it’s best consumed elsewhere, like Mastodon). I can’t consider it an alternative as long as they don’t address these problems.

@theowashere @buage @Tutanota @Mastodon @ecosia @nextcloud I find it incredibly ironic that a replacement platform is created for a service whose success is based on algorithmic content, on the premise that it doesn’t have an algorithm. Same with Pixelfed “Stories”. Stories were developed by Meta to feed algorithmic content to Insta users. Short videos are a mere distraction with very low value. Cheap to make, cheap to consume, forget them, repeat. Worthless. Re-think social media!

@dmian @theowashere @buage @Tutanota @Mastodon @ecosia @nextcloud Unless we as the consumers keep on using those platforms, companies will continue to milk them. Unfortunately, people won't give up their convenience for the greater good of social media

@Tutanota @Mastodon @ecosia @nextcloud Ever since the maker of the pixelfed went on this weird rant about being pro vibecoding i havent used pixelfed

@Tutanota @Mastodon @ecosia @nextcloud Ik heb Peer Tube bekeken maar mis heel veel muziek waar ik graag naar luister en kijk. Mijn favorieten zijn daarop niet te vinden... helaas

There's one even better than YouTube, Odysee.

I've been avoiding Ecosia since they started in with #AI services.

@Tutanota @Mastodon @ecosia @nextcloud Here's one more:

Google drive -> syncthing+borgbackup (sure, its a little bit of a pain to set up, but works great for sharing files and distributed backups)

@Tutanota don’t forget Lemmy!

[argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org]

Wait, that's the #Peertube logo? I'm surprised they haven't been sued by Nintendo.

[sodiboo@gaysex.cloud]

@argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org @Tutanota@mastodon.social what, for resembling a Sierpiński triangle?

those proportions and colors are nothing like a Triforce.

[mrfunkedude@mastodon.social]

@argv_minus_one what Nintendo logo are you talking about?

[argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org]

@Mrfunkedude

It looks like a recolored, 90° rotated Triforce.

@dmian @theowashere @buage @Tutanota @Mastodon @ecosia @nextcloud It's federated, you can subscribe to PeerTube channels without leaving Mastodon You don't need an account on PeerTube.

For example, search for Nextcloud using search on Mastodon. There should be two results, one for Mastodon account and the other for PeerTube. Click on PeerTube result, follow, and you're subscribed to Nextcloud's PeerTube channel

@Tutanota @Mastodon @ecosia @nextcloud I like NewPipe, Pixelfed seems a bit "thin" and my particular instance is not allowing direct video upload, UpScrolled seems a bit political but with some actual reality, instead of mainstream propaganda. Been on ecosia for ages - pretty good but some results differ from same searches via chrome,etc
