寮I've been calling Opussy/LBRY out on their censorship practises since May 2021, back then I already said that if you allow them to censor loli's, they'll move on to censoring other stuff. Shortly after that they started censoring other types of videos, and now apparently they started censoring comments that are "homophobic", "transphobic", "antisemitic", or whatever other made up word.
When will people finally learn that self hosting your own fucking website on the darknet 1st and your own instance on the Fediverse 2nd is the only way forward?
Speaking of which, it's pretty sad that the one group that actually seems to understand that free speech can only ever exist if you self host happen to be the anti-free speech troons. Meanwhile, all the "free speech absolutists" always stay on centralized platforms with rampant censorship, and all the "privacy advocates" are on spying botnet soyvices.
Also, noticed how the vast majority of websites with actually clean HTML and CSS also happen to be made by troons, while most of the "tech savvy people" tend to resort to the most bloated soyware solutions ever made?
But we're living in clown world, so I guess it makes sense...
@hazlin I installed both of them from Pacman on Antix, Apt on Devuan, pkg_add on OpenBSD, and apk on postmarketOS, is that's what you're asking. I don't see any problem with that, other than the fact that I2Pd needs to be constantly updated to the latest version for it to even function (rendering most of the distro provided packages useless) while the devs just suck at actually announcing their new releases.
@JapanAnon Maybe when the "you'll own nothing and be happy" world goes online, which by that time only those of us who already did something before that will be somewhat safe anyway, as it'll be too late for them to start self hosting.
@ryo I suppose now that I think about it, I am already essentially trusting them with admin level access, even if I built for source, the expedient thing to do would be to use the manager to install the dependencies
@hazlin Well, it's fine if you install as root, though the services should run as their own user and group for security reasons. Like with everything else basically, running everything as root is basically doing self harm.
@udon Yea, and then I was constantly told to fuck off because "MUH BROKCHEIN" and "MUH DISENTROLAIZED", therefore "I'm an idiot". 1 year and 5 months later, they finally seem to slowly start waking up.
@ryo@social.076.ne.jp Not a lolicon fan but I agree censorship is bad and self-hosted/decentralization is the only way ahead. It's either that or repression of expression and losing freedom to information/data.
@kino Because on the clearnet it's still possible to get your domain confiscated by the registrar or DNS provider, which is impossible with .onion or .i2p addresses. Plus it's harder for VPS providers to deplatform you, since it's very easy to host darknet sites from home at no cost and no risk of having your real IP doxxed (unless you're a fucking idiot, but in that case you'd be doing this to yourself).
@bot@kino It's apparently possible. I only have no idea how though (other than hosting an onion mirror on the same server as the clearnet mirror, which is just stupid).
normies will choose "pretty and convinient" over actually functional any day of the week, autists generally wouldn't
in fact, normies do not like to think at all, and do not want to become tech-savvy
and then there are people like me, not really with autism but non-neurotypical anyway, and I perfectly understand that I won't be able to self-host or embrace HTML, because I am not tech savvy at all, so I am here on fedi, not self hosting
@ryo Hosting videos is trickier, though. More expensive. Which is why almost all of my videos are either in 640x480 or in 20 FPS. Thinking about the future when I have to host this stuff myself. Also storage space, it adds up.
@TerminalAutism Before JewTube people used to be hosting their own video files. Sure, it wasn't really bullet proof, but then again they used Flash for viewing, so it never worked for me until the final days of Flash anyway.
@ryo Yeah, I know, I was there, watching some anime OPs on dial-up, which is just about the best that was possible at the time because downloading an episode took all day and downloading shows was only viable on eMule. I see no need for the video player to be in the browser at all, though, so that is not a problem. No need for that when mpv exists. The problem is hosting a lot of them, especially if you get a lot of views, though that's very unlikely unless they get a lot of views in one of the big websites first, to get people to know that you exist. Anyway, it's only a matter of time until I get banned from Odysee, so it may be the only option at some point.
