WOW!!!!!
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR:)
A search engine for #peertube
"PeerTube Index is a centralized search engine for PeerTube videos. We run a crawler that visits PeerTube instances to find videos and new instances. All found videos are made searchable by their name. We exclude videos marked as Not Safe For Work (NSFW) for now.
This site is not affiliated to Framasoft, the maintainer of the PeerTube software. "
Remember when a Google #search used to lead you somewhere?
Now it increasingly just keeps you on Google. In fact, Google results take up 62.6% of the first screen of search results in a sample of 15,000 searches.
#Google is building a walled garden that encompasses some of the most accessed information on the internet with no recourse for businesses who are suddenly finding themselves on the wrong side, cut off from their users.
If you are really struggling to concentrate, put your phone face down, but no matter what it takes, limit yourself to just glancing at the blocked screen and checking there if that notification that is in fact important has arrived. And if it hasn’t you just get back to what you were doing without running the risk of ending up scrolling through your feed.
It seems to me that these people will get notifications, possibly more than one or two, whenever they check in on, say, Twitter. But for those who tend to use social media in “read-only mode” it doesn’t make any sense - and I would argue that read-only mode is a form of social media addiction in its own right. The problem is that the read-only people once in a while engage in an interaction. And then turning notifications off can have the opposite effect.
- you won’t decide to check in on social media each five minutes to see if anything new has happened... or maybe you’ll suddenly become a champion of self-control and only check your social media accounts once in the morning, five minutes after lunch and then once before dinner...
I totally get that it makes all the sense for someone who interacts a lot on social media.
In the film itself they talk about turning notifications off and Tristan Harris has been saying this for years. As the reasoning goes, the moment you turn off your notifications you’re back at the steering wheel of your life. Your phone won’t be pinging you all the time and you’ll decide when you’re going to check your notifications! Hopefully - and this part of the equation doesn’t receive as much consideration there
The case for leaving your phone’s notifications on
With everybody watching The Social Dilemma and (finally) realizing how huge the mess is - something that would be nothing new if they were paying attention to what they do and dedicating just a bit of thought to the fact that it takes money to keep the lights on at Google, Facebook and the like - a lot of talk about notifications has been going on.
With The Social Dilemma film bringing the discussion into the mainstream, some who had already been thinking about these issues for a while are suggesting that federation - not regulation - is the solution. I agree that regulation creates further distortions and pushes into the centralized dystopia and I think federation is great for many things, but can it really solve the filter bubble effect? I doubt it.
I just heard about @pixelfed and of course it picked my interest. What I couldn’t find is how it’s supported financially apart from donations, Patreon etc. Or is that all? Is this enough?
