It’s both horrible discovery and a limited number of creators.
But, for discoverability, https://sepiasearch.org/ might help you find things to watch, since it’s the only good multi-server search I’ve seen. (And run by the peertube devs.)
quickly and completely corps change their minds
What pisses me off is how utterly willing any given minority is willing to boot-lick a corporation because of a rainbow avatar or 50 word statement of support or whatever.
Corporations will, at best, pretend to be your friend until it’s no longer convenient for them to do so, then your ass is out on the street.
Don’t fall for it when they change their mind again, because they are at very best minimal-effort dont-rock-the-boat-too-hard temporary performative allies.
I’m wagering they don’t do anything at all anywhere. The absolute most might be a ‘happy pride!’ page buried somewhere.
But, honestly, as a gay dude, I don’t care. This was all performative nonsense anyways. It was, at the very best, just some virtue signalling bullshit marketing thought might sell another car or book or potato or whatever the fuck, and never ever actually meant support or willingness to stand on principles or even get fucking involved in anything - though, I’ll admit, there were a very few exceptions to that.
There’s lots of shit needed, but an avatar picture that’s just fucking marketing from trillion dollar companies ain’t it, boss.
What do you bet they don’t even do that anymore?
$5 says almost no company does even the most perfunctory rainbow capitalism avatar changes this year, because, well, that’d be DEI or woke or someshit.
I have to ask but uh, does he REALLY look like that, or has someone photoshopped him. Because if you look up ‘weird nerd nobody liked in highschool on a power trip because he runs a webstie now’ on wikipedia, that’s the image you’d get.
(And before I get lambasted about how I’m judging someone from their appearance: just no. I just find it hilarious the guy who acts like that also happens to look exactly like you’d expect. Some sort of uh, appearance determination thing, or whatever.)
Where else is there to go when I want to read content that’s an unmarked advertisement?
Oh right, the NYT/WSJ/WaPo exists, nevermind.
Plus, there are a lot of folks here (it seems like a majority sometimes in my personal experience) that are quick to advocate violence/sabotage in lieu of negotiation and debate. That reeks of puppeteering; there can’t be that many arseholes here, right?
That’s because there are a lot of marginlized folks here - gay, trans, autistic, linux users - who have spent decades disucssing politely and negotiating.
Problem is the people throwing Nazi salutes and writing all these executive orders have, quite clearly, said they want us all either dead or in camps.
Now I wouldn’t dream of speaking for everyone else, but I’m certainly not going to be attempting to politely debate myself out of a one-way train ride, if it comes to that.
So, yeah, while I don’t encourage violence for the sake of violence, the neoliberal ‘oh dear we must all be very polite at all times and let rationality solve all our issues!’ is dead and worthless.
I’ve taken classes for and armed myself, and I have zero qualms with defending myself and friends and family by any means necessary if it comes down to a situation where it’s us-or-them, regardless of who ‘them’ is.
If you told me even five years ago that I’d be carrying a gun and be fully prepared to use deadly force to defend myself I’d have called you goofy, and if you told me that I’d be willing to use it against agents of the state if they came after me, I’d think you have lost your damn mind.
But, well, it’s been a long 5 years, and frankly, IMO, the rule of law and the trust in any governmental institutions have been eroded into nothing.
Also, isn’t the preferred nomenclature actually a ‘m’lord’?
Perhaps I’ve misunderstood something.
