The other posts aren't very related to technology either, and that's my point. There was a time before Lemmy, when /r/Technology was focused on delivering news about new technology. Not tangentially related news about pro climate laws. Not the politics of social media companies. Not Elon Musk spam. Technology. /r/Science was vastly different in the past as well. In general, these communities had much more substantiative content with nuanced discussions in the comments from experts in relevant fields. Lemmy was a bit like that as well in the past. But unfortunately bots like this one started reposting all of the drivel from Reddit to the main Technology community, drowning out content with more depth. I want communities that I can genuinely learn from. I want to feel hesitant to comment, because everyone in the room is smarter than me. I miss that version of the internet.

This news is as related to technology as a weather report citing rain in Silicon Valley is relevant to technology. It doesn't fit the sub.

I actually didn't realize it supported anything other than YouTube. TIL

Please elaborate on the technological advancement that was made here

This is not a post about technology.

NewPipe has been my go-to for years. Available on F-Droid with regular updates.

Techies?

Can we let this platform die quietly and stop bombarding the feed with Elmo spam?

I think this is fair, but man the retaliatory tariffs for NSA backdoors would be atrocious

I wonder about this as well. Maybe the rights holders are different in different regions? So they need to split the revenue?

Yeah, no, I'm right. This is always how it starts, and these new Channels "partners" will definitely be a revenue stream in the future if they aren't already. Your view is naive.

I also find it crazy that people don't understand the value of privacy. Telling people that Nissan wants to sell information about your sexual activity seemed to wake some of my social circle up. But only in the context of Nissan, which almost certainly doesn't have that data. Meta almost certainly does.

What sort of roadmap are you looking for in Signal? It does everything I need it to do, personally.

Ew. Thanks for pointing me to that. TIL.

Unofficially, yes probably. But officially Facebook only upped the ante on user data connection from WhatsApp more recently according to their privacy policy. Sorry, "Meta"

Is it? How do you define enshittification?

Because adding paid promotions to something that never had them is always the beginning "making things worse" -ificaton.

The rest of this story is very predictable following Meta's track record with social media. Everything will go to shit from a UX perspective now that they've decided to put ads in the app. That is how this works.

I feel like this thread has been bombarded by the Zuckerberg defense brigade.

You mean they're adding ads but it's cool because we don't have to click on them? You're right, this will never be made more intrusive, and it's definitely not an anti-feature.

Turning a messaging app for myself and friends into a data farming social media app full of paid promotions is absolutely the definition of enshittification.
