I recently found out about Circles and was hoping to migrate friends and family to it, but it's just too much of a learning curve to get things set up.
That looks cool, I hadn't heard of Circles before. I want to check it out now. I'm curious if it somehow keeps your data private from the server owner. That feels like the missing feature in most federated, privacy-focused social networks.
Side note: looks like it's made by Futo; I hadn't realized they were working on something like that. I've been using another one of their apps, Grayjay for almost all of my mobile Youtube viewing lately. It works great.
If it is made by anyone associated with Grayjay then I'm out
I haven't heard anything bad about Grayjay before; what's the issue with it?
Non free software pretending to be foss. It pisses me off and it can't possibly be better than third party clients.
https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay it is a paid program that is why it is not allowed to fork from it atleast without approval .Altough you can use it without paying
Exactly, it is not Foss
I mean it is not foss ,but more open than the youtube client app
That's bad comparison. Why use something that harms your freedom when you could use something that protects it? Grayjay is up there with Nord VPN and other services shilled by Youtubers.
