Change "random(0)" to "random(time(0))" so the videos are less easily removed by a bot. time(0) is the number of seconds from January 1, 1970 at midnight, so the random seed keeps changing. It's still be black and white noise but not the same noise as anyone else.
You can change that "225", which is actually 255 in the tweet, to any number smaller than that, but it'll make the noise darker and reduce the randomness of it. The result still has to be between 0 and 255, so you could change it to 12+random(time(0))*243 or something like that if you really wanted to make it no darker than 12.
Can I just say that I'm really happy that so many yt alternatives by people who aren't morons are starting to appear? At some point, all I saw from friends and reddit was all bitchute and voat and they tried to stick this alt-right tinge to the fediverse, but alternatives to big corporate are starting to become more normal again.
bitchute and voat was always just going to be a place for nazis to go after they get banned since they don't solve any of the problems of the thing they're an alternative to. Still primarily for profit and doomed to enshittification. The fediverse is different because it's an actual solution.
Yeah, but there was a time when things were getting pretty depressing, because there was this digital TINA: it's either us big corporates or those "special" nazis :/
It really isn't. Twitter is still up despite musk and Reddit is still strong.despite this...you miss the aim. If the aim is egalitarian then yeah....but no the aim is to make personal money and power (in musk case it is political.platform like being a modern newspaper baron..the next Rupert Murdoch, spaz for the sweet sweet IPO for yacht.
Despite how quickly trends/content can age on the internet, you shouldn't mistake that for actual transitions in platforms.
There's a ton of logistical and infrastructure-related issues that need to be sorted out, but you're being defeatist if you don't think that just because there haven't been mass migrations within a year, any sort of shift is irrelevant.
Twitter and reddit have incredible momentum and it takes a long time to slow them down.
Just look at how desperate Twitter has been with their advertising - I don't think anyone would say they haven't suffered some incredible damage over the last 8 months
the only winning factor is if he comes out on top with a lot of money and unless reddit completely dies, he will. hell even if it completely dies he may still after inevitably selling the name/site/assets.
And it's not even about the profit motive, it's about the fundamental way in which he approaches situations with a zero sum game mentality. It's about concentrating power over something as slippery as water, replacing something that works with something shittier BUT that he can control (see Victoria and AMA, or the photo and video hosting instead of continuing with Imgur). It's about regarding with contempt the community that gathered around the site he created.
It's about a guy that sold his stake in reddit thinking it was worth nothing, coming back as CEO when surprise reddit continues growing, and only being worth 10 million in silicon valley where his peers are worth billions. This is the show silicon valley, but in a universe where erlich bachman ended up as CEO of pied piper.
