PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google
-
Where would be a general purpose place to use as the second platform? Something that's easy to use (and ofc not even more immoral than youtube, so not rumble or things like that).
A lot of the better creators are on Nebula. I don’t think they’d take Pewds though.

GMaps -> car GPS
What? No. OSM or literally anything else than a fucking car. Stars and sextant.
He emphasized that for him living in Japan and mainly needing to use maps in order to navigate, the japanese car GPS is the best fit.
Which obviously is very different for people in a different situation.

He never was. When teenagers used to scream n-word for shit and giggles, he was monetarily incentivised to do stupid stunts. No belief behind, other than to have a laugh and jump in views. When he crossed the line and was critised for it, he backed off, apologised and learned from his mistakes.
But people love draging it out each and every single time he does anything, be it good or bad.
Hm, I'm not sure about that. There was a point in time where he was - even outside his videos - engaging with Ben Shapiro and Elon Musk. Echoing their philosophies and world views.
The alt-right was using him and his platform to lure teenagers in. It's possible that Felix did not even realize what was happening there. Or he was brainwashed himself for some time.The important thing is that from 2019 onwards he clearly distanced himself from any of that.

Did he back away from right wing stupidity?
What was right wing about him?

He was never right wing in the first place

Throwing it out there - I am tired of left always acting as if something done decade ago was still fresh. Pewds changed, he flipped his whole video formula, and even back then evil things he did were at least questionable. Let it go folks. You are doing nothing else than making yourself look like bitter old people.
Edit: I noticed it's not obvious what I am talking about. Other comments. People constantly talking about how Pewds is a nazi.
He literally never did anything evil or bad. This is a myth that was entirely created by the far left, who falsely call everything fascist, despite never watching his content.
-
There's no redemption arc because he literally never did anything wrong. His content was always family friendly

Guy's an ass, but if this gets people on board with degoogling then good for him.
Calling this guy an ass shows that you have no idea who he is. You're probably the type of person who thinks they're well informed but exclusively get their info from echo chambers like Lemmy.
-
That's very cool indeed – although I dread the moment he starts talking to his followers about Lemmy.
That would literally be the best this to happen to this god forsaken platform. There isn't nearly enough users, diversity of content, or sheer volume to make this place a genuine alternative to Reddit. Getting an influx from a huge youtuber like him means this place might finally get active communities for mainstream hobbies like sports, music, and videogames.

People listen to mister nobodies on the internet like they are prophets...
He's one of the biggest and most loved youtube personalities. He has influence, and him saying this kind of stuff is a big deal. Pretending he's a nobody shows that you're simply ignorant.
-
The only people who have called this guy a nazi are terminally online far left jackoffs who get all their information from other jackoffs in the same echo chambers.

i had 4 in a row
Oh no, 4 different posts that were posted on 4 different communities on 4 different instancess, all of which are about the topic he's talking about in the video... The horror

Since when was he about that right wing shit ?

Nebula is like netflix, not youtube

Your own domain for email hosting is a massive pain in the ass. Have you not run into a million problems with other hosting providers refusing you for possibly spam?
Self hosting an email server is a pain in the ass and I don't really recommend it.
Buying your own domain and using it in whatever email provider you want is very easy and gives you ownership over the email address. You may switch providers freely without needing anyone else to do anything.

Didn't realize the N word was family friendly lol

How are you going to do that advertising using one of their products? He has 100M followers and he's a multi millionare, he should close his youtube account and move in another platform
Good point. People should only advocate for dgoogling on platforms full of people who have already degoogled. It's stupid to try and reach people still using Youtube.
-
Move to Lineage OS or Calyx OS
Don't be fooled by the Graphene OS Mafia
What do the other two do better?
-
Er. 'I am done with Google'. Watch the video on YouTube...
wrote last edited by [email protected]I like how Lemmy somehow still finds negativity here. Never change lmao.
An internet celebrity in the millions of followers is going FOSS. Cheer up. On the downstream, this may bring Lemmy more users and put more visibility on open software.
