>You sure the benefit of people hopefuly moving away from google towards somewhat decentralized platforms doesn't outweight the issue of users still hit and running ?
What are benefits to a user ?
99% of users wants it to "just work" we can give them that in numberous ways. If we do it in a way that's only web browser designed then I considered it a failed attempt to help people because nowadays in the time of the "cloud" continuing in such way only helps the nigger cattle (sorry for my french) of users to be conditioned into using tools that aren't on their PC.
Lets make a small list of benefits or not.
Using youtube/Dailymotion:
>1:Centralized (on central owner/point of use)
>2:Not the admin
>3:Easy censorship of content from the admin
>4:Easy legal censorship of content from governments
>5:Easy redirection of content (promoting more of x)
>6:Easy redirection of content from governments (promoting more of x)
>7:Easy datamining
>8:Tools/software are on the web
>9:It just works
Using an independent peertube channels
>1:Half-Centralized (Multiple owners/point of use)
>2:Not the admin except if you do it yourself
>3:Easy censorship of content from the admin
>4:Easy legal censorship of content from governments
>5:Easy redirection of content (promoting more of x)
>6:Easy redirection of content from governments (promoting more of x)
>7:Less Easy datamining (only if the admin allows it (cannot be known for sure))
>8:Tools/software are on the web
>9:It just works
The only gain that people get from not using megacorp servers is maybe a small amount of anonymity, except of course if they run the servers themselves. I'm of course speaking long term if you look at GNU social when mastodon began to be shilled by medias the flagship instances mastodon.social legally datamined it's userbase and all the good from it was useless, now the question is how much other instance datamines their users ?
The ideal design would be like this:
>1:De-Centralized (using a mesh network with a locally installed meta-searx engine)
>2:Not the admin
>3:Easy censorship of content from the admin
>4:Easy redirection of content but it is mitigated by the meta search engine
>5: datamining is relevant only if people willingly give personal data on public posts
>8:Tools/software are locally on the PC
>9:It just works with two more steps

Great argument.
