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 see you didn't make it 40s into the video.

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 38 points 9 hours ago (5 children)

Listen, we don't read the article and we don't watch the video before commenting. Maybe we're reading the headline first. Maybe. This is the way and it has always been the way.

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

I agree it is that way currently, unfortunately, but it's definitely a recent phenomenon (last 10y).

It's also always been the way that the people who actually clicked the link get to come into the comments and be frustrated at us for being legitimately wrong.

We will read the headline, and possibly every single word in it. Like 75% of the time, at least.

maybe read the headline and the comments, but only like 30% before i react. I guess 75% for the headline maybe.

I like to read until I hit a noun, then look to see what community this it was posted to, then kinda riff it from there.

To be fair, watching random YouTube videos can be demotivating. A transcript would be much nicer.

Yeah, I definitely prefer to not read some text as compared to not watching a video. If it's just someone talking, it should've been an article.

Exactly!
So has anyone tried this pewpowpie recipe and does it taste any good?

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Yo, I love pudding pie. Is it chocolate?

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip -5 points 5 hours ago

Why would i feed youtube?
Let me know when it's on peertube, another video-centric platform.
Lemmy's text-centric.

Why would anyone watch a pewdiepie video?

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

To discuss the video in a comments section associated with it.

[–] bastion@feddit.nl 1 points 4 hours ago

because people like things.
