What is libre culture?

Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.

Some beliefs include but aren't limited to:

That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules

I've looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I've distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.

Please show common courtesy: Let's make this community one that people want to be a part of.
Please keep posts generally on topic
No NSFW content
When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”

Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it's perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.

Hi everyone, I've been following the de-google-ify internet campaign of framasoft for several years now and have replace a lot of GAFAM services doing so but the only service I'm truly struggling with replacing is youtube.

I could never find anything with enough interesting content and I always find myself going back to youtube.

What about you?

did you stop using youtube?
where do you go instead?
do you just spend less time watching videos?

I prefer decentralized solutions but any FLOSS alternative is a good start.

True, but watch this space.

Odysee has grown 300 percent in the last 6 months - standing at 30 million montly view right now.

What bothers me with odysee is that it's centralized and from the link posted above by @Cube@lemmy.ml odysee is not bound to be opensource and does not promise to continue to release code in an open source fashion. I still have to check Rumble and minds.com
