@numodular @BrodieOnLinux fucking #YouTube #loginwalling (and thus preventing me from accessing it!) makes it really hard to check things...

@khleedril also #regulators like @EUCommission should actually enforce #portability requirements as per #DigitalMarketsAct and force providers to either provide #free #API|s and #documentation for all #users and #developers without #loginwalling or be #banned from the #EU for violating fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (#FRAND) provisions for #Interoperability.

NO #YOUTUBE, I WON'T MAKE AN ACCOUNT NOR LOGIN JUST TO WATCH A VIDEO!

• FUCK YOU, I'D RATHER DONATE THE COST OF #YouTubePremium TO SOME #Invidious INSTANCE!

@m @hosford42 okay, if thst's done without "#AI" (or at least something #AelfHosted and not #WastefulComputing) I'd be interested.

• Espechally when it's #narrowband-friendly and #accessible like http://68k.news be @ActionRetro …

Personally, I would've started with a curated list of sources (similar to #Flipboard) but explicitly banning sites that use #ClickBait, #RageBait, #Paywalling, #LoginWalling and/or #PayOrOkay.

• I know that thins the list down quite a lot, but doesn't turn it to 0 entries, as @dw_innovation / #DWnews shows: https://dw.com

As for ingestion, if it can do #RSS that'll make it super easy.

Äähm... Nein?

Fick dich, #YouTube!

• Die #AI - #Enshittification und #Bots sind euer Problem nicht meins!

#Loginwalling #FUD #Bullshit #Tracking #Cookies

@MxVerda @BrodieOnLinux @qdot Well, depending on what you want to develop or communicate there are various options.

• Many folks went from #GitHub to @Codeberg / #Codeberg to do their #FLOSS development as it too has #IssueTrackers and means to discuss things without #loginwalled read-only access. Others like @torproject have their own @gitlab / #GitLab servers #SelfHosted.

• If you want a #Chat then consider #LiberaChat if you don't demand #privacy. Otherwise @delta / #deltaChat and/or #XMPP via @monocles & @gajim may be an option.

• If you do want some #LoginWalling for some reason, consider @zulip / #ZulipChat as it has a nice #threading model that can handle both asynchronous communication and high traffic without becoming unfindable or unarchiveable. Otherwise there's like @RocketChat / #RocketChat which also works great by my own experience.

Case in point: #discord just makes it more cumbersome and painful than anything. It's basically #Slack + #MicrosoftTeams, but worse…

@jackyan not that well in #Germany tho.

#KFC was always overpriced and closes shops i. #Germany because a bucket if greasy chicken for the price of multiple complete menus ain't selling.

• Same with #Subway and #PizzaHut and #Dominos and #FiveGuys: They barely made sense prior to #Greedflation kicking into high gear in 2020!

And #McDonalds "#AppWalling" and "#LoginWalling" their #Coupons and #SpechalOffer|s is cutting into their revenue when #Döner and #Dürüm have a better price/performance ratio. Why buy a #BigMac when you can get a full menue that fills you up for less?

• Same with #BurgerKing!

The weirdest thing I've seen are #MgSpaghetti in the #Philipines which baffles me to this day cuz they have so much nice, delicious and cheap food and then they want soggy, sticky noodles with tasteless sauce?

• I mean it's not even cheap food by comparison!!!

@Em0nM4stodon +9001%

• more #SelfHosting,
• more #Decentralization
• more @torproject / #Tor Support from the get-go.
• more #SelfCustody
• less #LoginWalling
• less #Subscriptions
• less #SaaS
• more #FLOSS

@katzentratschen #Loginwalling disqualifiziert jede Plattform in meinen Augen - genauso wie #Paywalling!

@ColetteDiskette @ann3nova personally, I'd tell projects that unless theor documentation was a searchable #PDF or an #mkDocs (with search function) I'm not gonna bother!

• Also everyone who thinks #paywalling or #loginwalling #documentation is okay is banned from my #FLOSS projects, alongside those that put stuff inaccessible, unindexable and unsearchable onto #Discord!

@masukomi +9001%

People should learn to use #markdown or be haunted by the Ghost of #AaronSwartz until they do!

#Discord is irredeemabky bad and a literal #InformationBlackhole because unlike any #Forum, #IRC or #Mailinglist (which are also bad because #git and #svn and other #VersionControl systems exist) content can't be #archived nor #migrated out of it...

Also #loginwalling #documentation is generally an asshole-move, espechally on #FLOSS where ome can't reasonably claim "(3rd party) IP has to be protected" or some other shite...

@SnowDerg @christiansilvermooon since #Discord can't be used via @torproject / #Tor nor can it be #SelfHosted sinve it's a shitty #SaaS solution, it's incapable of being so, unless you think #Loginwalling qualifies for that....
