#mediagoblin — Public Fediverse posts

GNU MediaGoblin was founded by @cwebber. Inspired by GNU social's revival of the StatusNet project abandoned by Identi.ca, they developed a vision of enabling federation features between MediaGoblin services, and between those and services running GNU social, GNU FM, etc. To this end, along with Jessica Tallon (@tsyesika), they got involved with the AP standardisation process, which consumed a lot of their time and organising energy.

I wonder if anyone is federating with a #MediaGoblin server...

If you're really serious about making a difference, you should start considering leaving YouTube, It's not enough to say this platform is trash to your viewers, most of them feel the trashy nature of it already (phone number requirement, centralized source of Information, ridiculous "community guidelines" and terms, #censorship, algorithms, advertisements.. and now Age verification by a Government ID and/or Face scan)

This doesn't mean ruining your content creator career in the process, if you're uploading to a different platform, chances are you already know the problem with YouTube, but just know that uploading to a different platform isn't the solution on it's own, just like using private front-ends isn't the ultimate solution, it's just a temporary fix.

while uploading to a second platform is great and it's much appreciated but unfortunately that alone doesn't incentivize (motivate) your followers to make the switch, you should take it a step further.

as long as you're treating the alternative as a backup solution instead of it being your future home, where your content and your community will live, then we don't have a chance against this tech giant, make the switch inside your mind first before asking your community to make it.

You work so hard to make that video, to the point where you'll start calling it a 'video project', and I agree.. it is a **project**.. it's a lot of work..

It's understandable why YouTube is the first platform you upload to, because you want people to see your work, what's the point of uploading that video (that you worked so hard to make) to an empty platform, a ghost city.. where no one will see it.. You go to YouTube for exposure, so use it for that.. just that.

**you don't have to upload everything to YouTube**, you're not there for engagement, you're there for people to see that you exist, if they want to see more of you, they should come to your primary platform, what you consider your future home to be, that home should be of course everything that YouTube isn't (No #Ads, No #tracking, No #ageverification , No #kyc, No #Ai, No #shadowbannig, No #algorithms, No vague rules and legalese), use #YouTube for exposure and your main platform for the content, a platform where you're not competing against ads that try to take your viewers attention.

Do you want to take it a step further?

Upload short clips, teasers (shall we say) to YouTube, make a call to action in the end, "If you want to see the full version, the link is in the description"

YouTube has reached it's final stage, It can no longer offer anything useful to #humanity , now it's sole purpose is to be used as bridge for the next generation of video hosting platforms, ones that offer innovative ways to share and preserve humanity's knowledge, it's a huge gamble to trust a #monopoly with that knowledge, they can restrict access to it, they can erase it, they can use it (and not in a good way e.g. training Ai), the moment you hit upload, It's not your content anymore, it's not your 'video project' anymore, it's a YouTube video.

I have seen content creators (who should know better) fall for the trap of convenience that YouTube set up for them, either by embracing the "pay or okey" model just so they don't see ads, and others going full normie and enabling memberships, leading their followers further into the surveillance ad machine, you should lead by example, content creators don't follow the crowds, the crowds follow content creators and leaving a platform is the most effective way to destroy it, you don't fight the system by staying in the system.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Have you tried #MediaGoblin? I think it's the oldest project in the #decentralised image hosting/self-hosting space.

What looks like the best start, to me, is #MediaGoblin but it has been unattended so much I couldn't get it to build.

It's #ThrowbackThursday again! (Or, #WaybackWednesday for the majority of the planet (as of this post)).

Back in the “first generation” (2008–2012) (just my personal grouping, not set in stone) of the #fediverse, one of the first to provide different services for the public was parlementum_net.

#Parlementum provided the following services:
* #StatusNet instance

* #Friendica instance

* #TTRSS instance

* #XMPP (or #Jabber) instance

* Email

The driving force back then was not a person (like Musk, today) but corporations and freedom.

Here are some:
* The license of your post / status update, was a big thing. “Do you really own your own content in Twitter and Facebook?”

* #DeGoogle yourself. Made very evident to be important when Google announced the sunsetting of Google Reader. TT-RSS gained a lot of attention as the alternative.

Another one in the DeGoogle movement was Google Photos (was it called that already?) #MediaGoblin gained a lot of attention as the replacement. (JPope was the most prominent advocate for MediaGoblin.)

* The use of pseudonyms. It was a huge issue when services like Facebook strictly enforced the use of real names. Parlementum provided a safe-haven in the fediverse for those who needs their #privacy through the use of handles.

I'm sure I've forgotten a lot of other stuff of that period. But, it should give you an idea that the fight to take back our [Internet] freedom has been going on for 20 years now.

If these great people (advocates, personalities, developers, communities, non-profits) gave up the fight, the Fediverse as we know it today would not be here, or might look far differently. Imagine that, and think of the 2022 #TwitterMigration. ;)

Have a great Thursday!
