GoG or itch only, launch with lutris. I just don't want to risk putting up with this.

fair enough! if it works, it works, i guess. the proxy disable doesn't seem to work for me either, by the way, i just checked! i guess it's probably a known issue.

im not sure / cannot recall. it's been a few months since i last tried to install it and it kept erroring out. im definitely strongly considering looking back into it though, it's just that reverse proxying to the container was a nightmare... it still haunts my config, lol

that is... surprising. not that i don't believe you, snap just doesn't have a good track record, lol. ill have to research if it's feasible to run a snap package on a debian server, though.

i was offered one but im not really interested in making an account unless i can do it on a different instance. i do not trust the official one a single bit, lol

i was so caught up with the bait that i genuinely fell for this. you got me my friend

its kind of crazy to me how many people are moving over to that place. on one hand i appreciate that it's somewhat containing twitter culture ~~protecting much better new socials like cohost~~ but on the other, it is frustrating to have no access to so many people who switched to blue sky's with its bizarre and abrubt popularity as an alternative platform despite being diet fediverse.

at least now we can just subscribe with RSS to get updates and actually have the links be usable

Invidious. It got so bad that I just gave up and switched to piped which has been... well, not perfect, but definitely far more consistent.

that's reasonable i guess, though im only really interested in YouTube frontends for the privacy benefits which piped helps greatly with. why not use something like revanced, or why not turn off the piped proxy in libretube?

oh LOL that's a pretty great reason!

These general users are shifting to Discord. The people I actually WANT to interact with are moving to indie social platforms (i.e cohost, fediverse, spacehey) and revitalizing forums. I strongly recommend against seeing this as a systemic issue against social networks/media; it's an issue with VC funded ones that prioritize growth above a better platform and community. For the health of the internet, please do not flee to walled garden discord servers. Use social media for what its for; make connections with random people. Using it just to follow famous people you'll never directly interact with will isolate you.
