I’d love to show my support for the cause, but yeah, majority of people are just using a fancy new pfp and calling it a day, and I don’t want to associate with those people lol
If every people using a clippy pfp would start using foss over big tech, then we could maybe start making a noticeable impact.
It’s kinda hard with something like youtube because A) it’s become too big to fail, and B) there aren’t too many alternatives with enough server space and stability to compete. People try, but 3 out of 5 people refuse to build it, so no one comes.
Lately I’ve been having problems with Freetube but haven’t with Materialious, for now.
Don’t know if Freetube is working for anyone else, but I think it’s slowly being stopped by the most recent yt features made to kill all 3rd party clients. At least on my end it sure feels like it.
That’s the joke: they are still using it. Every comment section I look through via newPipe is full of these Clippy Pfps. And they are written After the Clippy PFP thing. And, like, NOT writing comments would be the least effort, in which you could „boycott” them.
More slacktivism so the masses can feel they’re “doing their part” and go back to their usual routine of idleness

Tsmt Any direct action is better than a performative pfp change

Well, what about just not using your Google Account for stuff like YouTube, and instead using something like Freetube for newpipe?
That would be… At least a better Start them handing over you data to google, BuT iN sTyLe!1!!111elf by using a clippy Pfp

I have not been able to find either of those apps.
So, you typed it into your browser, or codeberg, or obtainium, or whatever, and nothing came out?

ah. the old layperson should totally be able to do this nonstandard thing or not complain argument. Get it. Its as old as when tech was AV guys.
Well, that’s a good thing. If done right, like not using their service anymore, aka boycotting.
I didn’t say it was bad or who it’s bad for. I’m just too old to pretend it will be effective

Truely astonishing levels of stupidity.
