A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Guy's an ass, but if this gets people on board with degoogling then good for him.

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I’ve never watched him (I hated him when he would just scream at video games) but he seems to be a lot more mature these days. He even posted a video on why you should switch to Linux recently

I was surprised that the video was actually quite good.

Heartbreaking: one of the most deplorable people in the world made a good point.

I mean I don't really consider him a deplorable person... He was a dumb edgy teen 15 years ago that happened to strike a cord with the overwhelming amount of dumb edgy teens on youtube, and strike it rich. I haven't paid a ton of attention to him, but from what I saw of his linux and gadget crafting videos, it sounds like he's grown up a fair amount from his days of scream streaming.

He was an edgy teenager deep into his 20's.

Really didn't like him when he was younger, he was a naive swedish kid that didn't realize that the dumb shit he said online had ramifications because his audience was so big. He helped platform Ben Shapiro to a younger generation when he had him on his channel for a video, he had that scandal where he said the n word, and then of course the clip where he says the glass ceiling doesn't exist. It's clear to me he didn't realize the cultural and political ramifications of that stuff in America because he was never really exposed to it growing up in Sweden, and he was a cocky 20 something that thought he knew everything.

I hope these days he's realizing how idiotic some of that shit was and is actually trying to use his platform to make his viewers aware of valid issues rather than spouting off about topics he knows nothing about to his viewers who take his word as truth.

He also paid some Africans to hold an anti-semitic sign. To prove people will do things for money I think?

Calling this guy an ass shows that you have no idea who he is. You're probably the type of person who thinks they're well informed but exclusively get their info from echo chambers like Lemmy.
