Yeah and it turns out that this isn’t working well. https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/5783 Video is an unsolved problem, it’s great people are working on it but we aren’t there yet. PeerTube is not a viable YouTube alternative.

They aren’t really, some crypto bros just bought the name and stuck it to this pile of horseshit, presumably in the hopes of making some money off of idiots.

It did, but the branding got sold a few times and is now in the hands of some crypto company.

Here’s a few

Hardly surprising, looking at how many former google and Facebook employees are in Mozilla’s management.

Tbh, what shocks me the most about this is how sloppy this appears to have been executed.

I got my first one an hour ago, truly an honor.

Maybe zen browser! Idk, my only hope is either Ladybird or Servo producing something usable this decade.

What? The old internet absolutely had moderation, even back in the day of BBS.

My medication mostly.

Looking forward to seeing the cope from the Mozilla fanboys for that one.

I am still waiting desperately for a servo based browser, mozilla kicking it out was one of the reasons I lost all hope in Mozilla a while back.

Because the Fediverse is a mess with atrocious UX. Choose the wrong server and you might find you are cut off from a large chunk of it because a mastodon.art mod didn’t like something that happened on your instance and servers copy blocklist from each other (not a theoretical example, mind you, something I learned a few months into being on one particular instance.).

Servers can have all sorts of rules you will have to carefully study or risk getting banned (some for example will only allow images with descriptions being shared, this includes boosts.)

In short, the amount of work expected to participate is just - never - going to draw in the average user.

It doesn’t though.

Mastodon and the fediverse are nerd shit with massive usability issues. Even I gave up on Mastodon and I would consider myself far more willing to put up with shit than the average user will ever be. The mass will - never - migrate to the fediverse and in many ways, especially looking at moderation issues, that is probably a good thing.

Not any more or less than doing the same on a “stable” distribution.

While I like the idea, it’ll be incredibly tough to overcome Microsofts lobbying, one just needs to look on the history of the LiMux project.

The firefox browser could exist without quite a lot Mozilla does. A large chunk of its cash isn’t spent on the browser.

Essentially nothing, Google Russia declared bankruptcy two years ago when the russian government seized their bank account. I am not 100% certain but afaik google has no operations within russia anymore at this point in time.
