        I wish algorithms were opt-in, transparent, and allowed choice (whether by choosing an algorithm over another, or customizing parameters).

        If this were the case, I’d have no issue with algos.

      I really want to love peertube and use it but the transition is hard. I feel bad for “wasting” server space and compute and when I view the video on peertube I’m making my favorite creators gain less traction on YouTube which directly affects their income and growth.

        Honestly, I’m murdering the productivity of every channel I watch anyways with uBlock origin and sponsorBlock, so I don’t think it’d be much worse

        Some of them can be supported through Patreon and they’re getting way more money than through YouTube.

        But it’s through that it lacks content and it’s also difficult to find content on peertube.

            Give what you can and if you can’t it’s also okay.

            I’m only giving 1$ a month to the Linux Experiment, but, according to him, that’s way more than what he would get from me watching his videos on YouTube.

            I’m also donating 100$ a year to many open source projects, but I might have to give up because of financial troubles too…

            It needs a recommendation algorithm. Search is simply not enough to find videos you may like.

            Search would be enough if it had the content library of YouTube.

            I still have to really try it, but last time I typed « PlayStation » and there was almost no result…maybe it’s just the lack of content though…

                I was talking about channels, reviewing games and so on.

                Not the odd homemade video…

                Something that you could follow long term to keep being informed, like IGN or gamespot for instance.

      I agree, peer tube’s biggest issues so far besides the storage or the fact that there are almost no peer tube servers which offer user accounts (which isn’t needed explicitly to watch videos but makes the experience much better), and also the fact that there aren’t really any good apps to use it with that aren’t outdated or abandoned.

    All of em, really. I don’t see much of a reason why the vast majority of platforms wouldn’t benefit from it, except for maybe an argument around it allowing the creation of larger and larger echo chambers, but that’s probably fine as long as it’s managed to only be to a certain degree.

    The only thing that keeps me tied to any Meta platform is the Facebook marketplace. It is the de facto method of buying and selling used goods in a sustainable fashion.

    If there was any alternative, especially a federated one, I’d switch over in a heartbeat.

      I wish they had an official presence in the Fediverse.

      I kind of miss seeing the tweets on the homepage and think to myself that Mastodon or one of its forked versions would be the ideal replacement.

    @ChasingEnigma@lemmy.world DeviantArt - I like separation between art, literature, and regular status updates, and the ability to group posts in your inbox into folders by who posted them. Or, more realistically, any of the various furry sites that work on a similar model and have less potential for cultural conflict.

    LinkedIn.

    It’s one of the last social media I have. Benefits outweigh cons, but I still would like to get rid of it

      That’s a good one. The photomarket on reddit was the main reason I was hesitant to shut down my account. And eBay is way too expensive and unfair for sellers.

      Is there even a genealogy site that is not owned by the Genealogical Mafia i.e. Ancestry? AFAIK WikiTree hasn’t sold out yet.

    Strava. Sharing workouts, leader boards with friends, challenging friends on goals. Maybe even badges.

    Forums, facebook groups (but not owned by meta), Letterboxd, Amazon (without amazon)

      Lemmy is kinda close to forums and groups. But I do agree I prefer that format over the Reddit-like format.
