I think maybe you misunderstand how Libre Software works. Nobody wants to take away control from the author of forbid them from making money. We just want to have control over our devices and the software that runs on them. We want to be able to see what it does and that it doesn’t have any malicious functionality. Lemmy itself is Libre Software and all software should be like this.
Thanks for making this! I usually don’t post Piped or Invidious links, because most people don’t know what they are. But now the bot will do it for me and explain what it is!
Piped is awesome too! Is integration with PeerTube planned? I don’t know how it would work exactly, but it would be nice if people gradually started switching to a decentralized platform. Maybe Piped could help make that easier somehow?
