releases a new video / blogpost for Nextcloud Talk for #DataControl.

The blog post embeds Google trackers.

The video can *only* be watched on a Google surveillance platform.

The app depends on Google / Apple for notifications.

Does anyone else see the problem here? None of these are necessary.

Here's the thing. I don't even begrudge Nextcloud posting videos to YouTube. The part I have a problem with is that they say they're promoting decentralization, yet after all these years they refuse to post to any alternative.

Similarly, they provide no option to use @unifiedpush , but *only* allow Googles Firebase for notifications.

Using Google trackers on the website is pretty ridiculous though when such high quality alternatives exist, such as @Matomo .

They also never bother to explain WHY they continue to ignore all of these things that so obviously go against the values they supposedly stand for, Just crickets to any questions and more promotional videos / blog posts.

Hey there!

We do not use Google trackers on our website or blog, please do not worry about that.

As for video content — we have our eye on publishing our videos on PeerTube in the future. We will share an update as soon as we have news. This is a known demand.

And you mentioned notifications. If it is about our apps, please do share an issue on GitHub, suggestions would be invaluable: github.com/nextcloud

I checked with uBlock origin the day I posted that, and it was blocking 2 items from Google. Checking now I see Matomo instead, so thank you.

Why "in the future"? Tilvids confirmed they'd be happy to host you. I've offered to set up YouTube mirroring free of charge. There is no cost to you beyond giving permission, and yet I've been calling with no response for years.
