    I blocked that bot long ago. I don’t want to see a website being advertised on every video link on every Lemmy instance.

      I don’t see it as an advertisement. It’s the same as e.g. the AMPutator bot - it provides a convenient way to circumvent Google’s monopoly.

        I guess it would feel less intrusive if it weren’t four spaced out lines where most comments are one.

        Regardless, even if it’s for a good cause, it is an advertisement. It’s informing users of Piped for the purpose of getting them to use it. Existing Piped users already have a convenient way to set up redirects, which have been posted several times.

        I guess it seems a lot nicer to people who actually want to use the service, but to people who don’t, it’s just advertising.

        I can’t imagine anyone that concerned about privacy is so unprepared and unknowledgable online that they need the internet to cater privacy alternatives for them.

        “I dOn’T wAnT mY dAtA aLL oUt ThErE!!!”

        “Totally understandable. So what steps are you taking?”

        “PeOpLe HaVe tO dO iT FoR mE!!”

        So now we all must suffer?

          The downside of being concerned about privacy is that it can be very inconvenient. I don’t think its so awful to try to minimize that, making it more accessible to people that wouldn’t otherwise bother.

      If I could get either LibRedirect or Privacy Redirect in my Firefox based mobile browser I totally would. I’m just not 100% sure whether or not the feature from Firefox Beta allowing for using collections of desktop extensions- if the extension you want even works on mobile- has come to normal Firefox for android yet.

        For Piped you can install LibreTube and set it to open YT and a bunch of Piped links by default.

        I don’t even understand why the bot exists? If you have newpipe or other yt apps installed, it automatically sends you there when clicking YouTube links. You can do the same within Firefox on PC.

    It also doesn’t work properly if you share a clip from a YouTube video

      Does piped support clips at all? I guess not, cuz the bot basically just swaps YouTube.com for piped.whatever so piped is handling the /clip/… but only playing the whole video

        On YouTube you can make clips from videos and share those links to highlight parts of the video

        For example: This is a link to a part of a YouTube video.

    at least there are no grammar nazi bots, yet

    “Pardon the interruption, but there appears to be a mistake in your 3 words reply. Here is a 5 paragraphs post, explaining the history of language starting from mesozoic era and extracts from 5 dictionaries on the word you just misspelled”

    and then they make a separate bot for each possible mistake, so you have to block them over and over.
