On Worg I think we should strive to support libre alternatives but permit ourselves a degree of latitude/convenience. I'm all for experimenting with alternative frontends to Reddit and YouTube, but I'd like to hear more thoughts before changing Github links. Does anyone use Github via Gothub and know of any annoyances or missing functionality? It ought to be frictionless to get from Worg to code you want to try out. As long as e.g. the Emacs package manager cites Github links for Github projects, we might be forgiven for doing so too. For all these alternatives we'd need to pick instances, and possibly change them every so often if they become defunct. Presumably we should also avoid instances that use Cloudflare, which narrows the choices down a bit. Here are instance listings; recommendations welcome! Invidious: https://docs.invidious.io/instances/ Gothub: https://codeberg.org/gothub/gothub#user-content-instances Redlib: https://www.mujico.org/post/83177 Maybe we should replace hard links with a set of youtube:, github:, and reddit: link types that we can update in one place so they always point to the currently selected instances? (A separate githubgist: type might also be needed.) Yours, Christian
