Probably a dumb question, thanks for all the front end responses, I’ve been watching using them but want to engage. I really don’t want to keep using Google though!
Or should I just get used to not engaging or maybe bringing videos here and commenting if they’re that interesting.

Yes. Do that. It helps Lemmy grow and helps G shrink.
No because all comments require being logged into a google account.
The platform is owned by Google. By using YouTube in any way, watching, liking, subscribing, commenting, searching, clicking, all of it, you’re “using Google”.
So, the answer is that you cannot use YouTube and not use Google.
If Google is broken up, that might change, but I’m not sure if that will ever happen, what form that might take or if it would ever happen at all.
Not really what I’m asking, but yes I get YouTube is Google.
i think their point is if you want to comment make a google account and comment… or dont.
personally, it boggles the mind why anyone would want to do that.
You can use the Polycentric protocol on Grayjay, though I doubt any creators actually read it.
Thanks! Do others read it at least? lol I’ll have to look this up, don’t know either of those things
Judging from the last time I looked at their comment platform, it had the feeling that the only users of it were ones that were banned from Youtube because of the toxic shit they’re wanting to post so I mean, I guess, but it’s not the experience you’re wanting, probably.
