Reclaiming RSS
“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”
*codecs, not codes
It's #FollowFriday! Here are some #alternatives to follow:
@cloutstream CloutStream: An open source federated alternative to LinkedIn, just launched its new website
@Chocobozzz Chocobozzz: Lead developer of #PeerTube, the ethical alternative to YouTube
@Purism Purism: Makers of privacy-oriented computers and the upcoming Librem5 smartphone
@fdroidorg F-Droid: The open source alternative to Google Play
@krita Krita: Open source painting software aimed at artists and illustrators
Tips for #peertube users when working within your instances storage limit.
1) Start learning about codes and bit rates. Vp9 and setting your bit rates low really are your friend.
2) Ask yourself how high a quality does your video really need. Why not use 720p instead of 1080p. If your doing vlogs just talking to the camera, do you even need to be in HD?
You can lead a horse to water but you can't teach it to fish for the rest of its life.

Has anyone started a #peertube instance ran on a cooperative model
At the same time, I wonder how much it's been helped by that same ability - having receipts for abuse aimed at people, as well as having the ability to, after cooling down, see the argument that was actually presented, rather than what was perceived in the heat of the moment.
Random thought: I wonder how much society has been damaged by the ability to review all arguments that we have with each other, exactly as they were typed, at any time.
So, random thoughts on #communism.
Why still use a hammer and sickle for a flag? Surely symbols that relate to today's workers might be a bit more inviting

So can anyone say if there has been an uptick in activity on #friendica or #diaspora since the delete Facebook drive a while ago?
Because of the #youtube ban, #blender foundation is now testing #peertube as a video distribution model https://video.blender.org/
