You can also use the Nightly app and load addon collections. It’s an absolute pain in the arse, and a lot of extensions don’t work, but it’s one way to get them.

Genuinely, what motivation does any professional content creator have for using peertube? It’s just crypto shit and conspiracy theorists and doesn’t pay content creators
This is how you end up with no browsers except Opera and Edge.
I’m just glad it isn’t the UK proposing something this dumb. We’re doing enough stupid shit as it is.
Disclaimer, I’m not French. But it seemed like the alternative was Le Pen and from what I’ve read she would certainly be more of a shitstain fascist, just with a populist tinge.
Exactly, they can coexist, so I’m not sure why people are so against having both. Content discovery is likely to be be the biggest barrier for entry for new social media platforms, because if you don’t have a reason to stay, why would you? It’s pretty much the primary obstacle to getting people away from Reddit or Twitter and onto an alternative.
Yes, this would be a great move. I won’t hold my breath but it’d be a nice surprise.
It’s been years since I ever played CoD but my experience was that it is basically a racial abuse simulator with an FPS in it.
Nowhere near as bad, but I was shocked how intensely elitist and gatekeeperish Hollow Knight’s community can be. I’d already finished the game when I found the sub on Reddit but damn they are mean to beginners!
Well firstly, why do you care about being banned if you’re leaving Reddit?
Come to terms with Reddit not dying overnight. Lemmy isn’t going to vanish if people don’t move over straight away. Reddit will eventually succumb to the 1000s of tiny self-inflicted cuts. Post content that isn’t on Reddit and people will have a motivation to stay here.
Is it really a loss in revenue if you used a 3rd party app previously?
If you want to bypass Reddit, why not just set up RSS for the things you get from Reddit instead? Most news sites have RSS. You could almost certainly find a feed for most of the stuff posted to Reddit.
On PC, this only really affects you if you’re still using Google Chrome. Firefox isn’t quite as nice as Chrome (don’t @ me, it’s the truth) but it is serviceable and uBlock Origin deals with 99% of ads just fine.
Youtube is the only truly great social media platform left. It pains me to say it, but the bar is quite low! It pays creators better than its rivals and its premium subscription is generally considered good value. Remember - it’s both users and creators that need to migrate.
Really, there cannot be an alternative until there’s one that can afford to pay content creators the same or more than YouTube can. No content, no platform.
It also needs to be able to distribute the cost for hosting insane amounts of video data, which is notoriously expensive. A single instance could bankrupt a person if it got hit with a large influx of users. Some lemmy instances has to brace for a rough ride as Reddit refugees jumped ship, and YouTube has a lot more users than Reddit. Even a tiny migration could be hell to deal with.
There will also need to be a purge of extremist content from any platform that wants to invite a migration. If all you have is weirdos evangelising dodgy cryptocoins and conspiracy theorists complaining about being booted off YouTube, nobody will want to go.
Peertube just isn’t the platform for this to happen. At least not yet.
I have doubts about his judge of character. If he had any part of the hiring process for Reddit’s mobile or video dev teams then he needs a reality check.
How would they do that? Is there a vulnerability in federation?
I don’t see anything inherently wrong with servers that try to generate some kind of income (servers don’t pay for themselves after all) but it’s absolutely the right of every server to choose whether or not to federate with them.
I’d take issue with free labour (e.g. unpaid mods) on a profit-making server.
IMO little of value would be lost with Discord. It’s mainly used like a live chat support, rather than a wiki. The actual source of knowledge is usually elsewhere.
Does this work for you? I have that filter enabled but it doesn’t really catch everything.
Honestly, it’s as if they don’t really want you using it. It’s a legitimate feature but hidden away and quite difficult to use. Here’s a guide on getting it set up. I’ve been using it since it came out and haven’t had too many issues, but a lot of addons just don’t work as intended.
