    Three R’s to deGoogling: Reduce, replace, remove.

    I would say start by changing your browser and search engine (lots of options out there today), and then set up your own domain for email hosting so you can try different providers.

    There isn’t another YouTube with all that content out there, so that one is tough, but you don’t have to 100% de google, 50% is still good. 15% is still good.

    Throwing it out there - I am tired of left always acting as if something done decade ago was still fresh. Pewds changed, he flipped his whole video formula, and even back then evil things he did were at least questionable. Let it go folks. You are doing nothing else than making yourself look like bitter old people.

    I’m sure all the reactions will be nothing but respectful and factual, and not riddled with festering teenage emotions.

    Love this, although I think he will realise pretty quickly that hosting on his >!Steam deck!< might have some drawback haha (I’m thinking storage here)

      Imagine if some big influencers like him switched to peertube, that would be quiet a thing indeed.

        Even just mirroring.

        Is there a tool already that makes it easy to upload to both? Idk, I haven’t uploaded a video since like the 10s

      Same, it feels surreal.

      I was typing out in the comments that he should try nextcloud before I finished the video, and towards the end I saw that he was running Nextcloud. Fantastic

        He got backlash from his own fans from all edgy and toxic jokes. I remember some of his Indian fans are angry for his PewDiePie vs T-series stuff (T-series: Indian music company).

        I think around 2019, he apologized and recognized all the edginess he did, and promised to do better.

        For the last five years, all of his content are basically wholesome family stuff or creative activities. Even his recent art journey video are widely shared among young art communities that’s not even his fans.

        Yeah this is why it’s so outputting seeing so much praise for him here. I don’t believe he’s ever outright apologized and owned up to what he’s said and done in the past (I could be wrong though?). Last I checked the dude was literally a neo nazi.

        I really don’t get how so many people here are so happy that a Nazi is using Linux and doesn’t like Google anymore. That’s not the kind of clown I’d want representing or being a spokesperson for my interests and it’s really making me second guess the people here.
