Great work mate ♥️

Gonna be so much YouTube drama from this one down the track, love watching a shit show unfold 🍿

An interesting development to be sure

The best take on here. The reasonable one that still highlights how much better it is compared to other mainstream services

Eventually it was bound to happen. Still sad to see mods getting removed to make way for more Spez friendly replacements

Cheers for the tool mate

I’ve used vanced for years and revanced for easily 6 months. I haven’t heard of anyone getting banned since it uses MicroG for the login, but there could be a part of the TOS everyone signed that says you can’t use your account to bypass their “rules”, so it could be a technical violation 🤷‍♂️

That’s a fair take also. Plenty of YouTubers have said they get decent money from people who watch their content from premium members. They’re never really transparent with how much (compared to a normal user view) these views are giving them, but that’s fine.

Revanced is great. I wish it could let me bypass some of the inbuilt limits like not being able to download videos, but that’s a small price to pay for removing like 99 of the ads

It’s a good option for when you want to follow every instance and not be beholden to the server admin randomly de-federating an instance they don’t agree with personally (which was one one of the issues Reddit faced, mods with their own agenda)

If you run your own instance you can choose exactly what you get to interact with

How could you even trust this guys word, he’s broken his promises and straight up lied so often it’s actually astonishing

Seen plenty of people calling for the de-federation ban-hammer whenever they find comment they like. There’s fine line between having an open space and an echo chamber and if it were up to these people we’d federate with no one

Never even heard of it, I’ll have to give it a go 👍🏼

100% this. I found it very disappointing that in order to achieve their arbitrary security policy that they sacrificed SMS fallback

I have no idea why it wasn’t just an option on setup or a configuration setting so that it defaults to encrypted messaging by default and then falls back to SMS for numbers that don’t support it (if enabled)

From their statement back in the days it always felt like they could have found a way to make this work but simply didn’t want to

At the end of the day I’d argue that the majority of people want a “Reddit like” experience, with dozens or posts with heaps of engagement. I’m happy to have news / repost bots if the end result is a more engaging comment thread / discussion.

When looking at older Reddit posts, I never enjoyed the comments where the discussion was OP focused. I’m keen to have them phrase the original question / link and then step back and let the discussion naturally form

It’s mostly a multi-tweet long religious rant. The overall content itself isn’t important, the main point being that they’re not interested in any actual debate, they just want to dump their opinions out there and position it as fact.

These types of tyraids are a pretty good example of what I mean

Either someones personal opinion, a hot take based on their own perspective or something similar. There’s plenty of discourse that could happen here but these people just want their own echo chamber

The issue occurs when purported facts are just merely opinions or regurgitating talking points, you used to see it heaps on Twitter, someone alright posting their mini rant and sprinkling in “facts”

Used to see that mentality heaps on Twitter, that X isn’t up for debate etc. People should really go back there if that’s how they want to engage in their online discourse, the point of the fediverse isn’t to be another echo chamber.

Though that’s the reason you make heaps of alts, ensures that when you anger the next janny you don’t lose access
