I’m so tired.
There was a satirical addon back in this day that would change the Firefox name every time you opened it to like WaterHippo or SunJackal to make fun of this.

I respect a weird bit. Gotta keep people on their toes.
Maybe the admins can check their connection logs and tell us how many accounts (like me) are viewing on desktop versus mobile.
Nope, not blocked. There’s not actually that many of them, but they were one of the few established communities on Lemmy before the reddit explosion so I think they were disproportionately visible until everyone else started organically out-posting them.
If you’re unsure, just post. It’s fine.
It was caught on archive.org:

I know that the RAM cache is just taking advantage of otherwise free RAM and will be dropped in favor of anything else, but it does stress me out a bit to see it “full” like that.
Oh, they’re not in the official F-Droid repo yet, but they are in the IzzyOnDroid repo, which you can add as a source.
Liftoff and Thunder are both available right now via F-Droid if you add the IzzyOnDroid repo. I’m using Liftoff and I like it.
That’s an extremely good point: youtube actually does pay out to creators in a way that most other sites do not. Sure, they will often supplement this income with kofi or patreon, but if that youtube income stream dries up, a lot of the youtubers will simply call it quits instead of migrating to other platforms.
Alternatives to YouTube include Vimeo and the fediverse’s Peertube, but I am not sure they qualify as competitors.
Actually, the peer-sharing nature of Peertube makes me wonder if it could handle a sudden surge of users better than the rest of the fediverse.
I joined lemm.ee to see beehaw content again (and to take load off of .world) and all of the posts in hot and active are .world anyway. Oh well.
