Criticize the speaker instead of focusing on the question or the idea being said??

Very classical case of Ad hominem (logical fallacy) .

Also, the reason people are leaving closed source to open source social media should be having fun.

Lemmy is not a university, it’s a social media software, thus it should be used as such.

Edit 1: also I am asking this question based on my observation here because i want to work on making lemmy more accessible.

Why would i spend my time contributing here if there is no one benefiting here?

cli/tui apps.

Apps that are run inside the terminal

Use LibreTube instead.

when you use newpipe you are still connecting to google service.
