I like it here on Lemme. I feel pretty comfy. And most of you here are tech savvy. And if not, at least you have some level of basic true understanding of how technology works., Unlike those impostor syndrome redditors. And I suppose it's a plus that corporations don't hunt us down for discussing piracy.

the larger we get, the more it will get fucked by ai bots, corporations, and shitty content creators

The best way to fight it is to simply be unmarketable as a community. This is how Verizon ended up having to sell Tumblr for less than 1% of the price they paid for it like only 3 years later. If the cost outweighs the benefit, fewer people will bother trying.

How do we do that without becoming vulgar, sexist bigots?

Have it as a distributed network of smaller instances, rather then having everyone pile on to 2 or 3 big ones. It's easier for admins to notice the bots if their site populations remain relatively small, and it's easier to defederate from sites that are enabling the bots if they're not also home to 80% of users.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Yes. That could work as well.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
