Have you tried Owncast for self-hosted FOSS fediverse streaming? You literally can’t get banned on it because you host your own stream, same with self-hosting a lemmy instance. Like, other streaming instances can defederate from you, but you can never be banned off your own stream.
Because of you I just had two slices of bacon and two eggs for breakfast, how does that make you feel? I’ve also got at least 15 chicken wings and drumsticks in my fridge and a couple racks of beef ribs, along with several wedges of hard and soft cow cheeses. How does that make you feel?

The stuff BlackCat stole and haven’t released yet.
One sentence: The presentation explores the enshittification of tech companies, outlines a three-step plan involving breaking up big tech, promoting interoperability, and restoring hacking rights, with the goal of creating a user-empowered, open internet.
Longer summary:
The user laments the current state of the internet, particularly focusing on Facebook as a case study. They discuss the stages of “enshittification,” where platforms start by benefiting users, then shift focus to business customers, and finally extract value for themselves, leading to platform decay. The user also explores the role of antitrust issues, lack of competition, and how big tech companies exploit low switching costs and impede adversarial interoperability. The talk emphasizes the need for policy changes to build a new, better internet.
The speaker elaborates on the concept of “enshittification,” where tech companies consolidate power, manipulate platforms, and resist competition. They propose a three-step plan to counter this: break up big tech companies, promote interoperability through laws like the Digital Markets Act, and restore the right to modify and hack services. The goal is to create a new, open internet that empowers users and prevents unchecked corporate influence. The speaker emphasizes the need for public support and involvement to shape a better future for technology.

No time like the present to make the community if it doesn’t already exist!
Edit: it does!
Yes. Look at the 2008 housing crash, and tell me average investors are intelligent.
Against it by “using” it in a manner which deprived the company of revenue - such as watching videos with an adblocker.
This, in their mind, counts as “shit that matters”.
As the social media juggernauts, these companies are viewed as the embodiment of everything they see as wrong with a capitalist/corporatist society, and in their mind, by dismantling or fundamentally changing and challenging these juggernauts, they can inspire and bring about the change they want in society as a whole.
No, I’m just pointing out the community you’re talking about. This is a piracy community, on Lemmy. If you’re surprised that this specific community is hostile to your arguments, I’m not sure what you were expecting.
Addressing the main point of your argument, the idea of the FOSS movement which many people in this community espouse is to have effectively a volunteer and donation-based society, just like Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse. Peertube comes to mind as a specific example. For a significant portion of that population, communism and socialism are also not considered bad things. For others, the crux of their complaint is not against the monetization of content, but the degree to which said monetization interrupts their viewing experience - 30 second ads on a 10 second video, for instance, or multiple 10 second ads interspersed at 30 second intervals throughout a 2 minute video, with the lion’s share of the revenue going to YouTube and not directly to the creators - hence the creation of platforms such as Bitchute, Nebula and CuriosityStream.
And what specifically is wrong with being paid a fair wage on time for work and effort matching the job description exactly?
gestures around I’m not sure if you know this, but you’re on Lemmy, not Reddit or Gab.
My guy you’re posting on a piracy community.
The Hu. Mongolian throat singing x metal = rad. Next?
Thanks for all your hard work. The change is absolutely noticeable.
Good to hear! Looking forward to both functionalities. There’s one particular user that I’m convinced is a troll making the rounds, every one of his posts have been just incendiary remarks, and it’s been frustrating having to switch to browser to report.
I’ve also noticed that posts which show as “deleted by mod” in browser still show up in Connect. Will that be patched as well at some point?
And how about if I decide to go out with my cousin this fall to hunt a few animals in the most painful and excruciating way possible, prolonging their death for the thrill of the hunt?
