    Yeah… People are like this… It’s All fake news until it isn’t anymore and than everyone is Pikachu Faced…

    After all they have done and still doing… I can ASSURE and GUARANTEE you with 100% certitude that they would NEVER do that… They are not that kind of evil. /s

    Sigh 😮‍💨😮‍💨





  • Yeah, if you self-host only for yourself you lose the privacy feature public instances provide. The purpose when self-hosting is to watch youtube with no-ads, sponsor block…

    As you guessed it, YouTube went on frontend crusade and only a few public instances remain (if any?) and those who still work are kinda janky, unstable.

    If privacy is an important feature you’re looking for, you need to wait until those btillant people behind those frontend find a working workaround :)



  • They are the same thing (YouTube self-hosted frontend alternative) with their own features I guess?

    You should test Piped, Indivious and Viewtube and make your own opinion, however Viewtube has been paused so this one is probably not going to have the SABR workaround update Piped and Invidious are working on ?

    Right now they are all a bit janky and unstable because of YouTube’s new update (SABR, don’t know the details) so find one that works as self-hosted and keep tuned.

    If you’re able to contribute as a dev though, give them some help to speed up the process and contribute to the best YouTube frontend alternatives projects !



  • Hey thanks for asking I had the same question !!

    A solution I would like is an automated way to poison my old data and edit all my old post, change image and edit all my comments with something non related and totally false.

    After some digging, their api is very limited and doesn’t allow such thing very easily. My programming skills beeing very limited I gave it a try with AI (yeah I know this is kinda “hypocrite” but we have to fight their empire with their own weapons…) and found out about a very cool tool you can selfhost and give instruction to execute this kind of operation in an automated way with AI !

    It’s called browser use and it’s the open source alternative to ChatGPT operator. I haven’t tried it yet so I can’t give you any feedback but If that’s something you have the horse power for you can give it a try to slowely poison and edit all your facebook data without hitting their limit or their alert !








  • I’m not sure what’s happening, I tried to read through everything (even signed the petition) but the original project has also moved to forgejo… Always when It gets licence related it seems they are all talking something I can’t make any sense out of it… It’s really frustrating !!

    But yeah that’s a good point and hope more projects will follow (piHole, navidrome, jellyfin, […]) to get out of Soft’s GitHub claws !!
