  • My opinion: Figuring monetization out while keeping most of your audience happy will be the most important step to be a viable alternative to YouTube. Big YouTubers like LinusTechTips, Corridor Digital or something like Nebula already have their own service, because it is worth it to have fewer people pay more. Sadly everyone of them develops their own solution which are not interoperable. Are you in the talks with anyone to migrate to PeerTube backend? I think this would be such a gamechanger.












  • May be: I own a FrameWork laptop (bought the older generation new, because it is fast enough for me, but I want to support them). Also I self host a couple of web services myself (music streaming, file storage, RSS). I also live in a shared flat (although I could afford my own appartment) and take the bike to go everywhere in the city.

    I dont know if that counts as solar punk. However, I think that many of the comments are very inspiring :D


  • Not trying to defend the AI hype train here, but isn’t this the case for basically every new technology: steam engines replaced muscle labor, computers replaced people doing the calculations, the internet replaced many different occupation.

    And for the most part we are better off now. Calling someone in a different country, let alone on another continent was crazy expensive just a few decades ago. Lemmy is built on these technology and would not be possible if all had to be done by human labor (a literal mailing list?).

    Having said that I think the main issue with AI (LLMs) or the internet at the moment is regulation or the lack of it.
