I may be wrong, but I think his content was more for a younger audience? I don’t have many examples, but the people I remember seeing watching his stuff were around 5-10 years old

Generally it’s just better to ask, even if you were legally / ethically / morally in the clear.

• if someone doesn’t want it, it’s going to turn them against peertube / fediverse platforms
• they might not understand what it is, and use their platform to share those feelings

Meanwhile if someone DOES want it, letting them know will give them the option to do it themselves. It makes less work for you, and they will feel invested. If they want it and they don’t want to upload it themselves, at the very least they’ll let their viewers know that peertube is an option.

As for the legal/moral side, I still feel like there’s a reason why you shouldn’t do this but I’m not aware of what that might be.

Thank you! I’ve edited the post now

Well, they also expand on why they’re saying that.

Also privacyguides is a non-profit, and they’re not trying to sell you anything by pushing a certain viewpoint if that’s the concern

How does that work, is it done through school?

There was some discussion about it here (Canada) last summer

We can do that, which page do you feel needs it?

For example we moved some of the Lemmy introduction content to the detailed explanation page, and we can move more.

For some of the topic specific pages, I was thinking that anyone who was linked to the page might have already have gotten a brief TLDR from whoever linked to it

:)

Something fun on the point about dark / light modes, the screenshots on this page swap between dark and light versions when the site theme is toggled

The home page is here, and the Get Started button links to it

We cut down on a lot of text from the initial drafts, so we can bring some of it back if the start is too jarring

Yup it did, we mentioned it here but I maybe we should make it more prominent? That video was one of the better explanations that I have seen so far, and there were a few things that we thought would be good to highlight on top of what it mentioned

This isn’t really a federation problem, and more that there isn’t a clear “winner” yet.

Even on centralized platforms, you end up with multiple communities for the same topic, until one of them grows enough to beat out the rest. Then eventually a scandal might cause it to fragment again. There are also separate communities that keep going independently because of ideological differences. See the various international news subreddits

The movies communities here were like that, but now there is a pretty clear “main community”

New Reddit gets a lot of complaints too (loading issues, freezing), but it’s aimed at Reddit as a whole since newer users don’t know that old Reddit is an option.

At the same time, if I only ever used new Reddit, I would also think that old Reddit looks wrong

It’s also less likely to happen now. Back when that happened, users didn’t have the ability to block instances and so it was up to the admins to do that for everyone.

It’s now possible to block instances at the user level

Also, the ux is pretty much the same as Reddit.

The default one is a bit minimal, but we have many Alternative UIs are as modern looking as new Reddit.

They also work much better while being modern looking. There’s a reason so many of us came over here when they got rid of third party apps, the new Reddit interface is… bad.

Yea I think that was the joke in that scene, but I can’t seem to find a clip of it

Don’t need to open Twitter to watch it

I’m also remembering an IT crowd scene where they argue about which of them is in Anonymous, and I can’t find it now. Does anyone have a link handy? Unless I am misremembering

How does this compare to Bookwyrm, or say Trakt?

That seems like an optional feature that competing products have.

I’d rather the fediverse friendly open source version have features I won’t use, if it means it can continue to grow and compete with the proprietary ones

I met one person a few months ago who also used signal primarily. It did feel weird adding someone normally. Usually when I add someone it’s their first time with signal

You could try and run both

Keep whatsapp, and slowly switch contacts to Signal (it might just be close friends and family). That’s what people around me are doing

I remember seeing that they did have a fediverse account? This seems related to that

Yup see here:

It’s also in the article linked above:

Luckily, the creators of the NERV App, Gehirn Inc, have created an app-based alternative for users to get information in real-time, as well as running a Mastodon account.
