A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Why the fuck are you censoring Nazi. You can say fucking Nazi online. You can say fuck if you want to.

Why the FUCK are you bowing to the corpo overlords.

The censoring increases engagement

[–] NannerBanner@literature.cafe 3 points 1 day ago

Fuck this reality. >:(

You can say Nazi. Self censorship doesn’t help anyone other than advertisers

How does self censorship help advertisers?

Self censorship makes a platform more attractive to an advertiser

[–] porcoesphino@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I don't understand the mechanism. I could see a benefit for an advertiser if there was self censorship for criticising that advertiser, but what is the connection between that and self censorship for the word nazi? Or is it another mechanism?

[–] HereIAm@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Advertisers don't want to be viewed next to or adjacent to "problematic" content. Hence no swearing in the first 5 or so minutes in a YouTube video (right after add have played), self censoring words like cunt and suicide so algorithms don't deprioritise you (again, because platforms make money from ads, so they won't promote videos that aren't as friendly).

It's all in the service to appease advertisers, and they require platforms to roll out the red carpet wherever they tread.

The general atmosphere is "better" meaning the advertiser sees his "content" amongst more friendly surroundings

[–] porcoesphino@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So there is less advertising in Australia and the UK than the US because they say the word cunt more?

[–] DaGeek247@fedia.io 0 points 1 day ago

The major content websites deprioritise Australian and UK content outside of their respective countries.

Yeah. He had that moment, but that's ages ago. Give it a break, dude.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He’s not from the US either. But yeah, he’s an unapologetic lunatic. Nice for him to be on the right side of something with his large audience though.

[–] flyby@lemmy.zip 19 points 1 day ago

Not sure why is he lunatic, but he definitely apologised for and acknowledged what he’s done multiple times
