All of this led to me ditching all of those (except YouTube, this is without a real alternative due to the content exclusively hosted there) and starting to self-host my stuff and joining the Fediverse.
you can use invidious or piped on PC and newpipe on a phone. just be careful cause i heard google removed newpipe from the playstore and someone put something malicious with the same name, but im not sure how that situation is going
How’s newpipe compared to youtube revanced?
As far as I’m aware: No login capability, does not require Play Services, supports a few other sites like SoundCloud.
Both don’t show YT ads.
For NewPipe there’s a fork that includes SponsorBlock and Return YouTube Dislike (both of which are in Revanced IIRC?)
There’s also dentex YouTube downloader. (android).
Pornhub taught me I’m picky af
Pornhub prob made you picky. Be less picky it’s great.
If it’s not underwater trans midget porn, I’m not interested
Indeed, indeed.
Picky is a weird way of saying normal. Just because you’re straight doesn’t mean you’re picky if you don’t like trans or gay stuff.
Lemmy seems to be trying its best to teach me about furry porn.
Listen I didn’t choose the life, the life chose me.
Memes. Memes everywhere
OwO
Someone’s underestimating the age of the internet.
Eh. But what does it mean to be raised online? I think for that you need the availability of ever present internet connections in the form of mobile devices. I think the first kids raised online would have been born in 2003, and would have been 4, preschool age, in 2007 when the iPhone came out. Those kids are 16 now. If we want to set the standard for “raised online” as being “digital native” then I think we should dial back the range to when AIM was popular. Again, setting the standard for who could have been raised with that constant interconnectedness as being someone who was 4 at time of introduction would give us the first AIM connected people reaching age 30 right now.
The reality is, I think, in the middle. The first generation we could say was raised online is basically right in between those two ages, 23. The other standard we could try to set is, who is the first generation who doesn’t remember the internet as exciting, just instead a daily part of life
I think it’s fair to say that those in their late teens now are the first generation raised online. Sure, previous generations where raised alongside the internet, but the current generation is raised with a much larger presence of the internet.
Nah, the zoomers are IMO the second generation to grow up with the internet. Sure it’s even more present for them and gen alpha, but I’d argue us millennials are the ones who first really grew up with the net. While we weren’t on the net all the time back then, we were the generation that grew up with the net as it became what it is today, for better or for worse.
Yeah I’m 28 and was consuming memes in middle school. I was not aware at any point where the default solution to a question was anything other than to look it up on the internet when you get home. I quit Facebook in high school.
Grew up with it, but weren’t raised by it.
I say I grew up online. I was a gamer/geek, and there was a massive gaming social presence online in the 90s.
But not a massive social media presence, not a massive streaming presence, little to no influencers. We didn’t grow up online like kids today, even if we played some Runescape on dial-up.
But it certainly wasn’t the internet listed there at least not until the very tail-end of “growing up”.
Remember Fredryk Phox?
rule34 sites taught me I could be porn
Not “could”, you very likely are or have been porn to somebody. Like really very likely. Chances are just that they will never tell you and you will never find out.
Oh, I know I was for sure. I wish I’d still be lol
what the fuck are you talking about
Jesus what was the original version of this?
The sweet release of death cannot come soon enough
Youtube taught you to be yourself? The site where basically everyone fakes a striking and cheerful personality because of how difficult it is to build an audience if you don’t?
To be fair, old YouTube wasn’t always like this, and the picture has all old logos in it.
Huh, I say “gotchu fam” too. Anyway, thanks! And yeah, that’s cringe.
Cringe. The original version is cringe.
Which generation? Im 36 and i was definitely raised online.
Gen Z (most likely)
I need to log into my old deviantArt account again. Those were fun times.
Let vine rest easy
One of these things is not like the others.
Lemmy is great but the majority of you guys have a, r/notlikeothergirls vibe.
Like you know something about the world and by saying, “I am not mainstream I am alternative,” you are making yourselves inclusive in some way. You don’t know anything the rest of the world doesn’t already have some idea about. Some sort of secret knowledge. I think my favorite thing I have seen on here is people thinking they are private and secure on the Fediverse. Despite the fact you are on a self hosted instance of someone’s hardware and handing your privacy and security to someone random or an entity at random.
Being inclusive is not how you educate people. It’s how you isolate your knowledge and make people think you are a jerk.
What about 4chan and 8kun? Asking for a friend 😐
Taught me to be racist :(

Be the best product you can be, fellow meat bags
Man, vines. That’s a blast from the past.
