All I need from youtube are my handful of subscriptions and my watch later, so I have moved on to invidious. I'd recommend it

At the final paragraph:
Linus Media Group CEO Terren Tong also responded via email, saying he was “shocked at the allegations and the company described” in Reeve’s posts. He went on to note that “as part of this process, beyond an internal review we will also be hiring an outside investigator to look into the allegations and will commit to publish the findings and implementing any corrective actions that may arise because of this.”
Clearly say commitment to publish.
IMO Lemmy shouldn't have media uploading of any kind. Aside from the CSAM risk, it's unsustainable and I think one of the reasons Reddit went to shit is by getting into the whole image/video/gif hosting.
Dozens of media hosts exist out there, and the mobile/web clients should focus instead on showing remote content better.
I'm all for this community to shitpost LMG, after all what's the point of it given their recent fuck up? LMG themselves destroyed their community if anything. Also fuck their screwdriver, it's $60 and you're not even ensuring that it's ethically made by paying such a premium. Employees self-harming to get a day off sounds like something happening at a Chinese factory making $10 screwdrivers, not $60. So fuck them twice.
Unfortunately I don't have time to shitpost myself, would gladly do it otherwise.
I agree with you. Also I want to say that it's not just hexbear, I have seen groups of users demand defederation from other instances (not just on lemm.ee) because they don't like seeing NSFW and politics (and other topics I'm sure). If we resort to defederation for any conflict then why are we even here trying to grow Lemmy, it's clear that it wouldn't go anywhere and we should just pack up and go back to Reddit and beg u/spez for forgiveness.
Federation is the main point of these platforms, otherwise they are just a bunch of obscure forums walled out from each other, none having enough resources nor userbase to grow into anything meaningful, and quickly being abandoned.
Can't wait until users are able to block instances so this becomes a non-issue. Probably a compromise could be defederating until the feature is ready, not sure if that's possible, and on the event Hexbear admins/mods not do enough to moderate.
Good, hopefully more follow. Floatplane subs have to be LMG's most loyal audience. This is kinda surprising considering the amount of LMG apologists in reddit & LTT forums. Their level of shilling for a company is kinda unreal.
Also fuck LMG's "investigation." Seems like just some diversion that will result in "we found no evidence of anything" and to say they did something. Typical corporate BS.
Everything Madison said has been corroborated by another ex-employee, it aligns with her glassdoor review of last year, aligns with other anonymous employee coming forward exposing LMG's toxic culture, and it's supported by other bits and pieces of recordings. None of these parties are profiting by coming forward, on the contrary they are exposing themselves to the cult that is LMG's fanbase (which drove a kid and his mom to suicide before).
Unless LMG comes up with damning evidence proving everything wrong then anyone with half a brain will see through their bullshit.
I refer to this post .
Talks about similar issues (bad working conditions, lots of pressure, anti-labour policies, bad pay).
This is fucking awful, I'm actually shocked, and with other leaked testimonies from other former employees I don't think any of this is false. She doesn't have anything to profit from this. I'm glad my adblock has always been on and I use invidious because I would have felt sick knowing I supported these assholes at LTT. Anyways I unsubbed from anything LTT and won't watch any more of their garbage.
Money and fame went to linus' head, didn't think it would happen considering they preach to be transparent but here it is.
If only that bald guy at LTT would have kept his mouth shut about how their testing was better than GN/Hardware Unboxed, all this drama wouldn't have blown up on ltt's face LMFAO
The most noticeable thing for me are the constant annotations. Sometimes there are so many that I'm not sure why a whole video is up if it's half assed and they want to salvage it through bandaids.
Bot holy shit they are become sloppy and borderline corrupt. Thanks to GN for calling them out.
Many people are very triggered in that post and I don't get it.
No platform is gonna have only decent users and only content you agree with. Resorting to defederation from any instance that is offensive to some people just damages what lemmy is trying to be tbh.
Eventually instances following that mindset will be isolated because there's always someone out there who wants to impose their own content curation (like no NSFW, no politics, no trolling, no memes, etc...)
Users should make the calls for what they want to see on an individual level. Thanks to the admin for sticking to fair policies.
WTF, i was expecting awful but it's still shocking how the arm just slides out like that
It does load faster than yesterday, almost instantly i'd say, yesterday I could see the loading icon for a bit, and today it loads in no time.
Awesome work! you have any available way for us to support lemm.ee?
The fuck is the point then? you get to pay to have the privilege of paying more for a mobile game?
All the netflix games I see are just shitty mobile games, nothing of value will be lost.
