Yeah I still don’t know what the EU even is.

What does that have to do with my friends streaming from my server?

Remind me which country is trying to dismantle encryption? 🤔

The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature.

What “resources” do you need, exactly, to allow my friends to stream from my server?

Yes that sounds super convenient…

It doesn’t “come to the package manager”. Your package manager retrieves it from the repository. So the question is: What repositories do you have enabled?

Only in China, presumably?

Again, if you’re self-hosting, yes; If you’re using the default instance, no.

I believe it’s ~100mb. I don’t mind paying for more. That’s not an option on Revolt.

Did he die?

If you’re self hosting, it’s Revolt. But the default instance limits you to 20mb or something for files, which is a problem for me, personally.

Thanks for that additional context

So the question is less “when will it be possible” and more “when will it be easy”?

No, the question is “When will you ship it to a stable build?”

Its not.

So what does this mean, exactly? You have yet another Fedi account? Is this coming to self-hosters?

If you already have one, it’s a good place to start. However, power efficiency will be the biggest drawback. Power ain’t free, and in some places it is very expensive. I’d recommend picking up some cheap ThirdReality switches and using them to monitor power consumption in Home Assistant.

Just because it’s not appearing on your profile or preventing you from posting doesn’t mean it’s not there.

And I actually agree with Reddit’s approach in that regard.

I read all of it. The title says “no karma”. We have “karma”. Which is why I’m questioning what you think karma is.

Read the title.

It’s definitely part of it but also there is no way to natively feature specific channels, and the algorithms they have are completely borked. If I go to “trending” and the first video is 3 years old, that’s a problem. Also an extraordinary percentage of the content is in other languages, with no way to filter them. You can select a specific language and it just does nothing. These are just a few things that seem fairly easy to implement and would go a long way to improving the experience.

Just want to rant that Apple could have opted into any open standard to comply with EU regulations, but instead they went with the one that only works on proprietary closed-source Google and Samsung apps.
