Looking back on this as an adult has me feeling very differently about how I consumed this as a child. I had no idea of how much damage these guys were doing to themselves.

I tried to come up with a good “Bender’s blackjack and hookers” type TLD name for an instance but couldn’t come up with anything clever

In addition to deleting history, could you get direct access to the account and watch better/different content to hopefully get that stuff more recommended too?

sir this is a wal-mart

I understand why you want that, and I'm glad that decentralization/defederation allow you to keep that.

I have to ask though, why do you want to keep other people from getting that algorithmic, corporate content if they want it? Especially since this will allow them to do it without giving up so much personal info via apps. (While also allowing us to interact/evangelize the FOSS way > corporate systems)

Nobody would let them floss their teeth on those cages :(

I’m in Memmy and if I tap on the image in this post, I get options to both save and share the image itself.

Only reason I’m not on Wefwef anymore is because of the lack of haptics. Getting haptic feedback on votes and swipes is just too good, imo.

Yes! Each instance will have that ability, it’s the beauty of the fediverse

I think a lot of people feel similarly, we’re just exhausted from all the pearl clutching in the fediverse.

I think it’s cool they’re federating. I’m excited to see some of that mainstream content without giving up so much of my personal info/data.

I’m also excited that there will be defederated places to go to if I don’t want to see/interact with the Meta crowd.

The creator has an official app pending in the iOS App Store right now.

In addition, they’re releasing a “log in with Mastsdon” feature within like the next 24 hours.

I posted this as a comment in the wefwef community but thought it might also be relevant here. If anyone is interested in self hosting wefwef this is how I did it on macOS:

Start by installing Docker desktop

Open Terminal and type in:

docker pull ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest

Then, you need to use a Docker run command like below to get things started. In this example, I put my local IP in as "192.168.1.2" but you'll need to adjust that value to whatever your machine's IP is.

docker run --rm -d -p 192.168.1.2:5314:5314 -e "CUSTOM_LEMMY_SERVERS=lemmy.world,sh.itjust.works,lemmy.ml" ghcr.io/aeharding/wefwef:latest

At that point, I went to my iPhone, opened Safari and went to 192.168.1.2:5314 and boom, there's wefwef. Install this as PWA and name it (local) or something to differentiate it from the normal wefwef and you're good to go.

Disclaimer: I’m brand new to all of this so I’m sure this isn’t the best way. But it got me started, so I wanted to share.
