The removal of the custom thumbnail is refreshing. No more wired reactions with an arrow pointing at something.

I’m going to give this a try. The sponsorblock people have great ideas!

Also a Plex lifetime user. I tried jellyfin not too long ago to see what the fuss was all about. I had heard that they handled her tonemapping better.

The interface is different but more or less just as good as Plex. It’s definitely more for the person that likes to dive in the details of the config of their server. For example, you need to setup your own domain for external users to connect to. It’s not done automatically like on Plex.

The focus on your content vs the “free” content Plex shoves in our face is nice I must admit.

Just a question of preference. In the end I stuck it out with Plex… For now.

When Reddit said moderator tools were exempt from the API pricing, did they mention the tools would stay as is?

I’m assuming not since the mods are still protesting.

I’m out of the loop of the details regarding the impact on mod tools.

I can only imagine that 5his wasn’t a recent interview, but I know it’s not the case. He’s completely lost it. Very out of touch with what made Reddit Reddit.

They don’t automatically block you. Beehaw seems on the lookout of troublesome users more than other instances. When they notice a lot of those users are coming from the same instance, they just defederate it until better tools become available to moderate.

I’m still federated with both instances. I’m also the only user on my instance.

Yeah I agree that enough attention has been placed on Lemmy for it to pop in Redditors heads when they start thinking of other sites to go to. It won’t happen overnight but that’ll also give the Lemmy devs time to apply some fixes and add new features.

I’m curious about the mod tools. Is it possible to moderate a small to medium sized subreddit without those tools? To me, the mods are the glue behind it all. If a subreddit goes off the rails because of bot spam and toxic/hate posts, people will just go elsewhere.

So if mods stop moderating because they don’t have access to their tools, this will likely happen at one point or another.

Thanks! That list is much longer than I expected!

Came here to say this as well. It’s a game of cat and mouse.

I’m not familiar with Nebula. Are known Youtubers on that platform?

Can you share the code for the darkly theme?

This is great! Anything to make Lemmy adoption simpler and easier for newcomers.

Hold the line!

This would be the perfect balance. Prevent Reddit from monetizing the subs any further, but keep a record of all the information that was shared since the creation of that sub.

Thanks for the link. That’s ok about federation, I was really just looking for a self-hosting option. Thanks for the info!

Is it self-hostable? That’s the thing I’m missing from the Mumble / Teamspeak days.

That is quite true.

Most big youtubers have in-video ads now anyways. I’m not sure what the ratio of their revenue comes from youtube ads vs in-video ads, but youtube seems pretty trigger happy about demonetizing videos. Sometimes entire channels. If someone gets the majority of their revenue from other sources than youtube ads, I could see them migrating to something like peertube.

How is peertube in terms of hosting costs? I would assume much higher than lemmy or mastodon considering it’s all video content.

For sure. I feel the same way. I feel like I’ve developed hobbies from niche subreddits I’ve discovered over the years. Makes me wonder what other interests I could get into if I stuck it out. But I won’t be doing that with their horrible mobile app, or to be spammed to use the mobile app every time I access the site from a mobile browser.

I’ve made my peace with it and I’m going to move on.
