I don't really use facebook anymore so couldn't care less; but so happened to log in today to change my password and saw this on my front page.

Other than YouTube, I’m basically off all of these centralized social media platforms and it feels great.

I do need to occasionally use Facebook for market place and messenger for contacting business.

Basically every business operates over messenger where I live.

Yes same for me, whatsapp is pretty much the only "genuine" communication channel. I only keep a presence on facebook since I have to move countries frequently for work, and the "expats in $city" groups are quite helpful to find people, and then move the discussions off-platform :-)

I'm trying to encourage people to move to peertube. Not much content there, but i'll reward what intersting content I find. You should too

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, also please, make some content.

Doesn't matter that it stinks, we wont watch it till you get better anyway.

I’ve been trying to switch over but haven’t found a good iOS app yet. Know of any?

What is wrong with safari?

There’s just nothing there besides tech content

Someone on here linked to odysee.com which appears to be a better version of YouTube so far, even Louis Rossman is there talking about YT's new adblock situation as one example: https://odysee.com/@rossmanngroup:a/youtube's-adblock-war-is-backfiring-in:c

Thanks! I always forget about that platform. I did see he made a video about that. I’ll watch it on odyssey now

It's YouTube (piped when I can but the servers seem to be down) and old.reddit.com for me.

I don’t like that it doesn’t save video progress mid video. It also is not very reliable for me, so I use an iOS extension called vinegar and use YouTube through a browser.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Piped.video does though, if that's what you want. Yes, reliability is a problem; I'm just waiting for when I'll host my own piped instance

I will check it out again. I thought it only marked videos as played but did not save the position in the video when you stopped watching.
