Thanks for hosting it. The video is very well done and rises valid points, but it's going to be difficult for it to gain traction fighting against the rabid fanbase. Wonder what could be a solution for this type of censorship.

Random idea: we could create a .tube domain to disseminate the idea that YouTube doesn't need to be the only video platform around.

Create it and before opening it publicly, squat you.tube and make it randomly redirect to any other registered domain.

It was registered in 2016 by MarkMonitor. My guess is that YouTube already owns it.

Question to PeerTube: What are you doing to curb the ever-growing number of white supremacists using your platform?

Why do you feel like the developers of a project _need_ to do something to prevent people from using it. What exactly can they do in your opinion? (PS. I'm genuinely asking, I would appreciate an honest reply)

The choice to maintain 80 projects and not grow beyond 10 employees is puzzling to me. Those two decisions seem antithetical to each other. 80 projects is too many regardless

Wow only one developer working on PeerTube and not even full time. No way will that level of effort be able to challenge any of the incumbents.

>For all I've seen "non-white non-male" is generally given priority in all kinds of areas, certainly in start-up interest. It's considered "hip" to associate with these "non-white non-male" groups, irregardless of their actual performance in whatever area they were prioritized. (To a certain extent at least, they can't be completely nonperforming) Being able to show that you have included these groups in whatever way…

Guess again: > 1) Non-white non-males are given less ability to grow in the "STEM/Entrepreneurship" fields as students and/or children by society. > 2) White men are able to outperform those other groups by some inherent quality. > Nevertheless, 1) seems to be partially disproved Unless I misread, the claim that is being made here is "white males are inherently superior"

That was my take!

I think stirfish was being sarcastic about factory farms and probably reached the same (scary) conclusion.

Welcome to the Free Software movement. I invite you to check how the GitHub page of some core contributors of some projects.

Decentralization of platforms away from the larger content aggregators and towards smaller, more tight-knit, niche communities.

Not that i agree with the GP comment, but isn't that exactly the point of courts? Eg death threats and all sorts of illegal wording are inaccurate in the literal, programming sense. Humans (courts/etc) interpret and ultimately rule if a set of vague concepts is in violation. If it wasn't for this capability it would be hilariously easy to avoid almost all repercussion from written/spoken word by just adding a dash of…

Offloading the problem solving to courts doesn't fix the issue, it just removes your involvement.

I wasn't saying it does, i'm saying _we already have to do that_. Ie, this isn't a new problem. It's a well understood problem, because language is not concrete nor so well defined as to be always explicit.
