@PersonM@dresden.network @incentive@mastodon.circlewithadot.net YouTube is still probably the best video system, but because of monopoly they can crank the dial to max. This manipulates people into making for the algorithm, get addicted, make stupid thumbnails and sensor themself. Adding Hyper 8 to my distribution stack (or whatever) has been a big shift in my brain. But I don't think we create a big enough force against big tech if it is too hard for normal people to use. Which prompted me to make the poll.

@lislegaard@sonomu.club @incentive@mastodon.circlewithadot.net @elifyalvac@tldr.nettime.org i understand, "people" in this context are individuals, who want to distribute and showcase their creative projects like music, videos, stories and so on. you noticed, that big companies with unlimited money and coding capabilities can provide all-in-one monoliths to cover up all the needs while holding the friction for "customers" as low as possible and your question is, how to bundle foss-solutions and lower the friction for users too, right? if so, my first answer would probo be something like docker, i think. and you need a source of trust, a group of trustworthy individuals could craft a combining solution without reinventing the wheel. and correct me, if i missed your point.
