What about "We Fedicast"?

[-] vintprox@kbin.melroy.org 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Pretty much same thing. I want niche creators to see that their content is appreciated (in lack of paid subscription), and Piped with a bunch of other frontends are simply not a way for this.

@melroy This is stupid YouTube... Anyway, if you're on the legs, try Grayjay for Android. ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘

Haha, well... It's a Samsung Galaxy from Android 10 era and, apparently, it has terrible Settings. Whenever I try to say "Don't optimize" on any app, it changes the label, but only for a brief moment, which effectively does not turn off any optimization.

It will just keep reactivating battery optimization, at least it's what I see on Samsung.

@ernest, please. All they need is commits, PRs and comments that add something. True, dev work is full of cool updates and reporting, but it crosses roads with other mundane activities. Devlog is probably going to drain you more than it's worth, so I hope you'll build your priorities straight.

Let's be open: I'm only making a press-kit for Mbin recently (and nothing much) just after being introduced to the fork as a result of @melroy migrating. It's a crazy amount of reviewed and merged pull requests, which I couldn't dream of committing nor reviewing in detail. There is simply a lot that can be done with community harnessing the project. No way this fork would be considered serious if it were to feed everyone with blog updates. At this point, your words set up a head start. It's a matter of whether it will start: will these old habits offer something that was not served already? (Big downtimes happen to be one of those things...)

No idea if any competition will take place - again, introduction to a fork was ever so sudden, making me wonder if it didn't have to come to this. In any case, whatever we continue doing I hope remains healthy for the wider community of contributors and users. Thank you for returning! ๐Ÿค

In retrospective, it's a practical decision to move away from downtimes, especially seeing as development is so rapid now.

We might do a mirror to Codeberg to avoid a complete dependency on GitHub, while accepting PRs on the side. Priorities tell us to postpone this idea in favor of long-awaited changes and fixes, though! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Hello! I had the same question and I've got a perspective from one fellow contiributor: Matrix thread. (There'll probably be an error when you first open it: join the room with your account and try my link once more.)

You only need to recall where it took the Internet Archive, no matter the intent it has. But let's presume for a minute that a lot of it is educational: does unsolicited art reposting constitute an educational purpose, commentary, criticism, news, or a parody? If all that fails to meet, at least work with the portions that you're taking.

It does not merit a verification of the author, when you hold their content encaged somewhere they did not approve yet. You say it's to increase registrations on Fediverse and for the brighter future, but please remember to deal with this ethically. Creator deserves to know first that your mirror (or whatever ends up being) intends to seek engagement with their piece.

Linking to original, as we both proposed, is an aftermath. Top three factors also need to be addressed if you claim fair use.

As an alternative, asking for consent and delaying repost is not a rocket science.

[-] vintprox@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

TINLA: factors for fair use don't seem to align, though.

  • Such use does not characterize commentary, parody, etc. and is not transformative.
  • Post may prove to be substantial on its own, especially if it's an art piece.
  • Most of the work (individual post) or crucial parts being used.
  • Since there is most likely no thorough link to the author's website or profile, they lose the audience - nobody will go to look up the same post twice, not through Google and Google Images, especially.

About that last point: solvable by manually gathering authors' links or making a hyperlink to respective Reddit profiles.

Isn't this like stealing, guys? No, not from Reddit - from authors. Ask for a consent before mirroring anything, for the love of Fediverse. Cheers!
