@npub1mvj…r582 is awesome and started uploading his videos directly to tilvids after YouTube blocked us, which no doubt consumes time he could be using to make more content or do anything else.

That's disappointing. I love #FireFox and #Mozilla but this is the wrong direction. The org doesn't appear to have a strong strategy, constantly moving from VPN, to fedi, to AI. Supporting federated services is such an obviously good long-term play for their mission, so to end their Mastodon instance is unfortunate.

Heads-up for the #PeerTube community, it appears Google has been blocking many tools/IP ranges that try to synchronize with YouTube. At least for the creators on #tilvids this is a massive challenge, because they can no longer sync THEIR content on multiple platforms, requiring them to manually upload to both TILvids AND #youtube We appreciate our creators going the extra mile, and please remember this is why it's so important to support alternative platforms.

Menus, windows, launchers & system trays SUCK. What can we replace them with?

Happy 4th birthday to the TILvids community! 🎂 It was four years ago yesterday that I registered the domain name and stood up the original server. In that time we've gone through multiple server changes, added dozens of creators, and are just shy of 5,000 users (4,908 to be exact, as of this post).
Thanks for all your continued support, and please continue spreading the word about TILvids! 💙

PSA: #YouTube has begun blocking import on many hosts, including the one we use at TILvids. This means that auto-sync for channels will no longer work, which puts incredible pressure/effort on creators like @npub1mvj…r582 trying to make content available in multiple locations. Because of this, expect there to be some disruptions in content availability.
This is why it's so important to support non #Google software and services, because they are swiftly becoming a bad actor in the world of #tech

Enjoying this #Reddit thread where they pontificate about how online video needs competition, but it costs too much to do it.
I've been running tilvids.com for almost four years now on mostly community donations. The problem isn't the cost, it's the fact that every creator thinks they're the next Mr. Beast and just one video away from being a millionaire, and viewers are complacent.
We could all easily collectively decide to change this at any time.
