Watching a @vkc video on @peertube and far out, it's SO much more enjoyable than YouTube... more relaxing, no attention-grabbing "recommendations" I don't want to watch, no ads, clean UI, great subtitles that obviously were perfected by hand, autoplay respectfully off by default, download button (instead of struggling with addons), great video editing, easy access to RSS links...
So thank you very much Veronica and @Framasoft! This is what the web should look like! 💚
@walruslifestyle what do you think constitutes (an) alternative(s)? Genuinely interested. When I think about this issue, I think of small tech, slow tech, cooperatives, anti-capitalist licences, radical inclusion in design... what's your thoughts on ways forward?
@VictorVenema@gerald_leppert@tio@futureisfoss@humanetech@mpjgregoire@socrates would be wonderful to have a federated social media software like Masto or Bonfire or whatever, extended so it makes the most out of existing science-related open platforms, dragging the data into the profile thanks to the available APIs. ORCiD is the obvious first one, to have some kind of CV / list of publications integrated into the profile, but others might make sense as well (Zenodo, OSF, Zotero, etc.)
I like the weird, the kind, the beautiful. Sustainability, plants, the Commons, open research, citizen science, RStats, maps, active transport.Open research software training.
