I don’t know if I need to ask, but what’s wrong with Odysee?

I just can’t get into using Peertube. I love the idea, but in my experience, it just doesn’t work the way it should. Slow, low video quality, hard to get the federation working properly, and most importantly, a general lack of content creators I care to follow.
I stick with Odysee for this, and several other reasons.
Mastodon and Pixelfed. Mastodon is my main (Retro Gaiden) but I’m experimenting with the Fediverse to see what works for me and what doesn’t.
I understand restricting the macOS version because it costs money but doing this for Windows is just a scumbag tactic, to be sure.
Oh, the irony of that last statement contrasted with the rest of your post.
All these replies are extremely indicative of just how utterly ridiculous the Fediverse can be. It almost makes me want to leave again but no: this network needs opposing opinions from its “acceptable” narrative. It’s bad enough that the Fediverse is already an echo chamber as it is.

I just don’t get the hype of immutable. Sure, it’s not easy to break and can be better for security, but it really does defeat the purpose of Linux freedom. It’s only really good for absolute and total beginners (meaning those who aren’t tech savvy), and for home console style PCs.
You really do, you just don’t want to admit it. It’s okay, you don’t have to be angry at God. Just let go.
What reversal? It’s still in play. The idea is to use them to force other nations to play fair with us.
In keeping with another post where I ended my arguments here, I won’t debate the point any further but guys: this post is how you conduct a discussion like a mature adult. Learn from it.
This is exactly why y’all lost, but that’s the last I’ll be contributing to this thread. As I’ve said, I’m not here for politics.
I’ve been using it (and its predecessor OpenOffice) for the last decade and a half, and I haven’t looked back. It does literally everything I need it to do and then some. One of the best examples of just how good open source software can be.
This is especially true for the aspects of LibreOffice that she’s going to use most.
Dead broke son of a low middle class family. There’s no privilege here. I’m not here for political debates. Ultimately, I’m here for gaming (particularly of the retro variety), open source software, Linux, that kind of stuff. That being said, I am going to say this much.
Unlike other comments here, I actually do somewhat agree with what you’re saying in the sense that it’s gonna be a little harder because we don’t have those industries here at home. The problem is, if we didn’t take drastic action, we were just gonna continue on the current path. Countless properties, companies, and assets are owned by foreign companies. If we don’t put tariffs on the countries that are already tarriffing us hard, then we would just continue the cycle of economic failure.
Moreover, we’re seeing plenty of foreign countries already caving to these tariffs. Sure, you might see bigger ones like China resisting for a while, but it’s not going to last very long. They don’t have enough economic power to be completely self-sufficient, especially considering the fact that the majority of their wealth has been made on our expense. Without America buying up all the cheap crap that their corporations peddle, their economy will fall apart. What they need to realize is that if they want to be economic partners with our country, they’re going to have to pay their fair share.
Honestly, that whole concept just seems like common sense to me. If another country is going to do business with us, they should have to be conducting fair business and not taking advantage of us at every turn.
At the end of the day, much like a majority of political discourse on the Fediverse, I’m pretty certain it just boils down to a shared hatred of our current president. And honestly, I just find that very sad. It’s one thing to have an objective perspective or to at least try to have an objective perspective. That’s why, of all of these comments, yours is the one I’m replying to. But in general, the main reason I’m not replying to the others (other than the fact that I don’t want to waste time on politics) is that they are already showing their colors and I know for a fact that I could not have a proper adult discussion with them even if I tried.
Gotta love all the triggered rage replies over a simple comment. If I didn’t know I was in the Fediverse before, these replies would remove any doubt.
Just noticed insane typos in the original comment, wow. Serves me right for using voice-to-text without proofreading.
Something like sixth or seventh generation American. How dare I desire a setup where other nations exploit us less?!
I do, but the desktop version is still barebones compared to FreeTube or the Odysee webpage. It’s great on mobile, though!
And as for Peertube, I guess part of the problem is that it doesn’t feel as connected as other Fediverse services seem to feel. Not sure why, it just feels really disjointed to me.
