@aral but we should also give them the choice.... This is why I advocate a per person block. The choices are there, it is up to people to be educated about the choice of instance. This is a core feature - join an instance that aligns with what YOU want and go from there. It is a whole different way of thinking... There is no right or wrong way here. But saying that a platform is OK because of a choice made by someone is very counter-productive when the whole ecosystem made choices to help this
@aral of course they don't care it's called choice. That is why I advocate a per person block and is also why they federate. The tools are there so use them. When a platform has several ways to achieve the same thing and you can also choose an instance that does or does not block these choices are powerful.
@aral Harsh - I don't think people should federate with threads. Meta has over and over again abused its market position to make money. The only difference I would say is that people should do a per person block of threads.net Yes Meta is toxic. Yes Meta is bad. The sheer amount of lawsuits make that clear. If people don't federate then threads will make its own way in the world. Meta don't need federation it is just a way to make more money and abuse their power
I have just watched the peertube live AMA and it is a great watch for anyone interested in the fediverse and how things will move forward @Framasoft #framasoft@peertube framapiaf.org
Anyone interested in peertube and development you are welcome to follow me and I'll follow back!
@Bindestriche@Mrfunkedude@peertube that is hardly the fault of the platform though is it? An instance can ban those sort of things but that is up to the admin and whilst you might not agree about it surely it is also free speech which is a massive part of the fediverse ie no censoring or pushing content it wants you to see
@phiofx androids problem with music and sound is simple.It sucks big time. With so many different combinations and manufacturers and versions of Android it will never be like it is on iOS with its tightly controlled ecosystem. So people simply don't bother
@feditips@jarocats this is it. I'm not knocking peertube, it is fantastic and a a great product. But video has changed a lot even in 2023. And as you just said the traffic simply isn't there compared to things like youtube, vimeo, tiktok even - all of which rely on ads. As it grows we shall see - and at the moment it is grwoing but slowly. V6 and password protection will make it a much better way to get a revenue stream. Onwards and upwards! Mastodon needs groups as well to flourish
@feditips@jarocats how often do you think that happens in the real world? And that is what I mean... the peertube animation and most of the documentation is outdated in many ways. I'm not knocking it...but in practice it doesn't happen often enough any more.
