that’s some good code right there

So OP was searching for a specific federation software?

Doesn’t it federate with others? It’s just that everyone blocks it

lemmynsfw.com?

yup but they told me some of their servers was theirs

The thing that I like is that they resell hetzner for crypto, at a very small extra, which I haven’t seen elsewhere

You might want to check YottaSrc

they’re not really known but seem worth the risk if you’re okay with it

Thanks

When you say you would prefer using something else, it’s about crypto or the host not being good?

Must be expensive to use residential proxies, nah? If I can ask, what’s your host?

Unless you’re not doing anything illegal and just using some friends’ IP and stuff

😵

online-fix.me?

Took me some time

Made a post to raise awareness

Avoid the lemmy.ml community because it’s moderated by that fucker

It doesn’t look good indeed…

Sadly, that’s what we have to work with. The app is pretty good though

TIL the founder is a transphobic and conservative piece of shit

SimpleX as well!

weird situation indeed

Why would it display the priced paid by the company like this, when it doesn’t for other countries like France though? Seems weird

Unless USA companies don’t pay taxes when paying a salary? But I don’t really believe that

It’s not nearly as hard to host your own server (or pay for it to be hosted).

Do you really expect more than even 5% of all youtube channels to do it? You have high hopes.

compensates for by sharing the distribution effort between viewers

I believe it’s done in a kinda P2P way? Didn’t really check, but wouldn’t that just not work with NAT internet connections, which many people have because that’s just more secure this way? Also, bad for privacy.

Using a TURN server would also add huge costs so it’s basically like hosting your own server

Nobody ever asks “who pays for the servers” when it comes to Matrix or XMPP

I don’t so I wouldn’t, but if I was, I would be wondering, as I always do. Anyways, I believe XMPP doesn’t store stuff and only transmits, and Matrix doesn’t store things forever (and doesn’t store videos like YT), and the main instance is funded by donations, and smaller instances are just pretty small and have media wiped when needed

it benefits monopolists to imply that doing so is necessary

That’s the POV of people in !technology@lemmy.world or selfhosted. Most people can’t be bothered with this shit and are pretty tech illiterate. Some don’t want to waste even a minute. And that’s the case of the very vast majority of people on the internet.

I meant good health, no (mental) illness, no medical treatment, already have somewhere to live…

Then it’s not an alternative

If it pays “a good bit more per view” than YouTube when basically no one on YT pays and many users have adblockers, someone is getting ripped off here

Then at this point I start to wonder: why can’t they take people in countries where the cost of living is cheaper? When you’re funded by donations, this seems more logical

I feel like companies based in the USA and accepting donations make it so that donations from countries outside USA are a lot less meaningfull because we get less money, and they need to spend more.
