I’ve been using this with Firefox for a bit. I very much enjoy it. Took me a while to find something I liked for a new tab page since you can search in the URL bar it always felt redundant having a search engine specific page there.

That is a good thing but at the end of the day that makes someone money how? The platform has to work for everyone even the professional creators.

YouTube really isn’t anything without the content and I’m not sure how open source will solve that.

Everyone here gets bent when anything Fediverse related takes any money. I’m not sure how people expect these apps to develop.

I don’t even know what that means. Tik Tok is a stand alone social network. I also don’t understand the need to have decentralized replacements for every social network. It’s also not realistic because the fediverse isn’t about profit and that’s what lead corporations and massive development teams to create these apps. People have to come over organically and there are already good experiences. A crappier version of an app or service they like isn’t going to convince casuals.

I and lots of other people are actually using both platforms. That’s why apps like Openvibe exist.

Don’t forget to save them to Pocket!
