This is why I also have AllDebrid as backup

We are in the process of moving website servers from a datacenter to another to have better redundancy in the future, service will be partially available for one or two hours, sorry for the inconvenience

Apparently they migrating to a new data centre

AntennaPod for Android available through FDroid is pretty good if you’re after Foss.

Personall, for me the best podcast app os Pocket cast, multi-platform and web browser option.

Website going down was confusing but under the circumstances best course of action.

On the bright side apps still worked :)

Awesome to have the site back up and running.

Now I don’t need to worry about forgetting passwords anymore

Only problem is now I don’t know any of my passwords, apart from master password for BW. 🤣

Agreed, I’ve been using it for about 6 years after moving from iOS to Android and its great, fits all the points required by OP.

If Lemmy supported user instance blocking I would agree with you, but until then this is the best option available.

And this is why I wish instance user blocking was an option rather than just the nuclear option of defederating.

Bearing in mind the community you’re posting in I wouldn’t think they were suggesting the big streaming companies.

Kodi + (insertname)debrid or stremio+ (insertname)debrid … either will let you stream torrents in much better quality than the streaming sites and no need to horde.

Also, i’m fairly sure there’s some torrent clients that allow streaming of the torrent file, I’m not sure if they’re still around but I think Vuze was one, I don’t used desktops any more just mobile/tablet so my knowledge might now be out of date.

WhatsApp

I started using BitWarden since I moved away from the apple eco system and moved to Android as I’m only a mobile user phone/tablet.

It’s never failed me and even after an accidental factory reset I was able to recover everything.

I’ve been using a variety of LibreTube and revanced on my phone and tablet as I only have mobile devices.

For the first time I opened a link which went to the native app, OMG it is unusable with ads.

If that’s the expected way of using YouTube then I’m out, especially as I live in a location where I can’t pay for Premium even if I wanted to

For what it’s worth, I posted once on Reddit in the last year (and that was related to Sync shutting down) where as I’ve posted 4 times so far here.

I’m generally a lurker but perhaps the newness of it makes me feel that my posts won’t be drowned out so it makes it more worthwhile taking the effort.

Whilst enlightening, it’s kinda also useless. Let’s be honest the majority of endusers use a particular app, in the main, because its most likely what everyone else in their friend group uses.

In my case WhatsApp, I’d struggle to get all my friends and family to change at this point.

If you think meta has any good intentions I would suggest reading this article about how they killed xmpp open protocol.

There objective will be simple, monetize and if they can’t, kill off the competition.

Edit: grammar and spelling

I sincerely hope that as many admins as possible instantly defederate from metas instance if they ever launch one.

Because one use may object to the content or doesn’t want to exposed to a certain instance but that doesn’t mean the instance should defederate, that’s an instance nuclear option.

Choice should be with the user not forced upon him.

Would be nice if there was a way block a whole instance.

I know it’s restriction on the platform side but maybe some instance filtering could be built into the app which could work then same way effectivley blocking visibility of a whole instance.

Just a thought and I don’t know how many users would want/use it.

I posted this on a different thread to downgrade your version.

May be helpful if your instance doesn’t update in a timely manner.
