Amazing video by Technology Connections. It’s a long one, but don’t miss his 30 minute angry rant at the end.

For tech people: You can host Invidious locally… No google, no ads, no popups.
It’s a lot of maintenance. I’m not knocking it, I’m just pointing out how difficult it is.
I hosted a pixelfed server for my city and it cost a few hundred bucks out of my own pocket. It was a test run so I can push my city to move their social media to open-source.
But the constant need to apply spam protection and abuse from visitors, not to mention abuse from users like copyright shit and even CSAM. My expensive side project became a full time job.
It amazes me how certain people just can’t help themselves with CSAM. Disgusting.
My theory is that it’s just a handful of people who are using anything free to mirror that content, out of fear of losing it.
I imagine some of them are also just trolls trying to get people in trouble. (Pedophillic trolls, to be clear.) The same way folks just wanna break stuff just to break it. But who fucking knows. Some people are just disgusting and ruin good things.
Emule flashbacks 🤮
