Hey folks. In honor of the Great Invidious Purge affecting most (if not all) instances I will be starting up my own Invidious instance.
"You can stop me, but you can't stop us all... After all, we're all alike."
Fuck you, Google.
Yours truly,
Jane Doe
I would also like to point out that the developer's Patreon has been mysteriously cited as "in violation of community guidelines." Apparently, making a libre client program to the world's most prominent video sharing platform is against Patreon's "community guidelines." They should just be transparent and say they suspended it for preventing the flow of money into Google's wallet.
For proof, here is the developer's Patreon page as of 12 October, 2019. Linking through the Wayback Machine to avoid Cloudflare: https://web.archive.org/web/20191012222327/https://www.patreon.com/omarroth
If you would like to support the development of Invidious and have some extra cash, go to: https://liberapay.com/omarroth.
For more information on this purge, check out @amolith@masto.nixnet.xyz's https://nixnet.xyz/invidious, a grave yard for his former Invidious instance. They've done the same to many more folks. Godspeed, everyone
