The centralized platforms are backwards in many ways. Stop advertising them. Switch to nostr.
I'm not gonna run an English version of my YouTube channel since we've got
https://nostu.be today. Fair and unintrusive: with a dislike counter and without unwanted ads. Thanks to
@florian for building it! 💜 I hope it will also get p2p-media-loader integration (and it'll become a real scalable killer of PeerTube) and a link to the source code on some about page at some point (I was almost sure
#nostube is proprietary until I came across your repo).
It feels so nice to remove my data from centralized platforms. They definitely don't deserve our presence on their servers.
So far I've wiped most of my data from TG, FB and VK. Removed my X account entirely. Removed links to these "social" networks from my website. And I keep wiping this stuff from other platforms.
Just a few examples of what's wrong. My Russian-speaking YouTube channel was unreasonably warned for specifying a link to "nudity content" in the channel details. The "nudity content" appeared to be just a neutral VK page. YouTube promised to react to my appeal in 24 hours. These "24" hours still last, for years.
Telegram? It silently removed my channel handle at some point and put it on sale because of not having enough activity. It's especially ironic because the account was also automatically flagged as a spammer a couple of times for no reason. Inactive spammer. Such a shame 🤦♂️
The centralized platforms are unsustainable. They are incompatible with the epoch we've recently entered. Be the first to migrate to
#nostr and build the future.
