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.

Did he back away from right wing stupidity?

Er. 'I am done with Google'. Watch the video on YouTube...

“I’m done with capitalism” he writes on a phone paid for with 😧 MONEY 👻

and trying to get on the grift train of hating google. seems like hes some what desperate to comeback to yt, trying to recapture old glory days, of course all that sweet money comes with it.

[–] ArcticPad@lemmy.world 35 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I mean where else is he going to reach the most YouTube/Google users?

[–] pipes@sh.itjust.works 17 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

For Pewdiepie this makes a lot of sense, he was literally the top youtuber. But uploading also somewhere else (no exclusivity required) needs to become mainstream yesterday. We have technical colleges far from the US posting educational video content for a website embed on youtube only, it's madness 😅

[–] gabbath@lemmy.world 1 points 5 minutes ago

Where would be a general purpose place to use as the second platform? Something that's easy to use (and ofc not even more immoral than youtube, so not rumble or things like that).

I think it's ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 7 hours ago

That isn't really true especially with Calyx OS

[–] ssdfsdf3488sd@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago

Thise are just different flavors. I need a pixel 8 pro xl equivalent device that runs linux natively. All thw postmarket phones are ancientx

I just subscribbed to him

For the first time

Wasn't interested in his old content but these new videos are fire and he has a very nice personality and overall amazing video quality. I inderstand why he was nmuber 1 for so many years

[–] grahamja@reddthat.com 2 points 7 hours ago

He has some more mature videos where he reviews books and tours around the world. Sometimes not so mature, he plays Minecraft or calls another YouTube channel bitch lasagna, and that can be fun too.

[–] Redex68@lemmy.world 33 points 19 hours ago

I love this new arc of pewds, unimaginably based. I'm actually interested in watching his videos now after a looong time. The last three tech related ones were great.

[–] baatliwala@lemmy.world 31 points 19 hours ago

Dude's having an interesting life trajectory

Three R’s to deGoogling: Reduce, replace, remove.

I would say start by changing your browser and search engine (lots of options out there today), and then set up your own domain for email hosting so you can try different providers.

There isn’t another YouTube with all that content out there, so that one is tough, but you don’t have to 100% de google, 50% is still good. 15% is still good.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Your own domain for email hosting is a massive pain in the ass. Have you not run into a million problems with other hosting providers refusing you for possibly spam?

[–] Clandestine@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

Didn’t try to host a domain myself yet, but having it set up with Proton has given me zero problems thus far.

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 12 points 14 hours ago

Despite the lack of content we should mention peertube any time possible to increase knowledge of it, if nothing else

[–] Lyricism6055@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Your own domain, but you're safer not hosting your own email servers in general. Just wanted to be clear for anyone reading this. If your mail server is down you don't get mail 🫠

I ended up using a service that isn't Google for that with my own domain

[–] dangling_cat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 8 hours ago

And soft lock yourself… log in to the DNS portal you need 2FA from your email… while your email is having DNS issues lol

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.
