    Video will not work for AT whatsoever. Text and images, fine, but I’m pretty sure leveraging edge delivery of video is just not going to work out well for users. I think they’ll need a centralized host for that portion, or some fancy ways to offload bandwidth otherwise to prevent constant hammering of popular videos.

        There is, just not a lot and not for a giant central company that controls it.

        You can have a private instance, you can have premium accounts on instances, companies can have their own instance.

        Yeah it’s kinda sad, that open source gets so little love in terms of money.

        I would hope that the EU may help here, and in very small steps, that is true, but there could be so much more money (which would still be very little to the EU) that would have a significant effect there.

      Rich people = successful therefore they should control everything because its obviously the only way for that thing to be successful because success = revenue. According to rich people that is.

    Kids use tiktok and they don’t want something their dad built, however safe. They are migrating to rednote because it’s not safe.
