Hello,
Sad news for everyone. YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.
Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won’t work anymore.
If you are interested to install Invidious at home, we remind you that we have a guide for that here: https://docs.invidious.io/installation/..
This is not the death of this project. We will still try to find new solutions, but this might take time, months probably.
I have updated the public instance list in order to reflect on the working public instances: https://instances.invidious.io. Please don’t abuse them since the number is really low.
Pretty much every Alternative Tech platform also has a huge far right population Lemmy is an exception to this but has a decently sized far left population instead I dunno how it is now but a lot of people complained a couple of weeks ago about Nazis joining Bluesky and one of the guys from Bluesky covering them
that’s true, but platforms like rumble were created to be homes to the far right. we shouldn’t encourage their existence.
Mastadon has a huge far right population?
Gab and Truth.social are Mastodon instances, just defederated by everyone else in case of the former, and not federating and pretending they’re their own thing in case of the latter.
Did not know that. But that that’s exactly how it is supposed to work.
Poast is listed as one of the biggest instances You just don’t notice it on Mastadon since a lot of them are defederated
