I’ve used it when I started out and it’s good, I can recommend it if you just want something where you can hit install and it works. I just use docker containers now though because I have more experience and it allows to set everything up exactly how I want.

Pretty sure Vencord is what’s used now. It’s what I use at least because it’s preinstalled with Vesktop.

On my phone I still use LibreTube but with the option to load the video directly from YouTube (essentially doing what NewPipe is doing) and on PC I just use YouTube’s directly. I still use Piped to keep my subscriptions synchronized tho.

My parents bought Xiaomi TV box (could search for the exact name if anyone’s interested), which runs GoogleTV (Which is just AndroidTV, they renamed for some reason) and comes with a remote. It even has hardware acceleration for AV1 playback. Downside is of course that it has all the Google spying shit and ads in the home menu but at least it works well and you can use all the apps you want without issue. Idk if there’s something like LineageOS for AndroidTV, that would be great.

I actually did but in another comment

Honestly, you’re right. I also apologized to OP in another comment. I don’t know why I was so against them when I wrote these comments.

The BlueSky protocol relies on central servers tho, I’m not sure if there’s much that ActivityPub can take inspiration from

They could have also worked to implement that into ActivityPub but they still chose to reinvent the wheel

I really wasn’t trying to attack you or anything, that was just the expression I got from the comments I saw. I guess I also had bad expectations going in because I thought if so many people banned you, then there must be a reason.

I didn’t get the expression that you had anything against trans people but I might have misunderstood your comments on the gender dysphoria thing. You can explain that if you want, I still don’t really get what you mean, honestly.

I still really disagree with the twitch streamer and especially the V-Tuber thing tho but I’m still sorry for judging based on the few things I saw.

We have that, it’s called ActivityPub. BlueSky wouldn’t want that tho, they couldn’t control the entire network then, after all.

Damn, I understand why this person was banned, looking at the removed comments. I mean, they’re not bad enough that I would remove them but I can understand why someone else would and if those are the comments that were only removed, the bans were probably for other comments (I’m just assuming banning someone would remove their comments from that community too). The comment about how gender is bullshit sounded based at first but then they said that it doesn’t exist at all (which it obviously does, even if it’s just a societal construct) and that gender dysphoria didn’t have anything to do with gender. That’s a comment I highly disagree with but IMO that’s not so bad that I would remove it. But the comment about how twitch streamers were just leeching of of the youth and how V-Tubers were just incel bait and that they should be banned just like sex work is really hateful. Entertainment is also valuable in society and using a virtual avatar instead of a face cam doesn’t suddenly make it sexual in any way.

Anyway, pretty long comment but I kinda felt like sharing my opinion on this.

I mean, most other people here aren’t banned on so many communities that we want a way to display all the communities we’re banned on

But that was one case, of course there are some mods that are just shit (or maybe just interpreted things wrong, made a mistake or acted based on emotions for various reasons) but if it’s this many cases, it becomes kinda hard to believe that all of those mods are the issue and not the person getting banned by multiple mods

I downloaded it without needing an account first (You do need an account to use the actual app), maybe just go on loops.video

You’re doing more than the vast majority of people, so this isn’t supposed to be an attack but isn’t it kinda selfish to still eat cheese when you, from what it seems like, understand why it’s wrong? Anyway, actual cheese can already be made vegan but, at least in the EU, the company just isn’t allowed to sell it because they’re still waiting for approval but other companies like Rewe are also starting to invest in it, so hopefully it won’t take long until it can be sold. I think they’re starting to sell it outside the EU tho.

I use a refurbished 10tb HDD for my server too and it works just fine

DNS should be working, I manually set the DNS server. I don’t really wanna install docker tho, I feel like that could cause other issues. If it only works in docker, that doesn’t really help me anyway, does it?

No, is that required?

But wasn’t the point of the post that it should, in theory, be possible to use a single account for all the different services by having a client that supports them all, since these different services federate with each other? I don’t know if that’s currently possible without making changes on the backend but if you need different accounts for each service, even if it’s handled on the back-end, that kinda goes against the whole point of the post, no?

I know, I was just replying to the part I was quoting. Point is, hosting that web client wouldn’t be an issue.
