It's a private corporation. They can do what they like.
And unfortunately, the alternatives, like BitChute, etc are rife with far right, far left, nazi and other stuff.
I really tried to use some of them. Really.
But even checking some of my favorite content creators, it's kind of jarring to see people in the comments using the nazi symbol as avatars and openly racist language (on both sides) being used.
The taste was really bad in my mouth just spending a few minutes over there. Couldn't deal. Had to leave and never to return. Never even tried to load it in my browser again.
Have they tried to use any moderation so far? I would love to try it again if they do.
Something to be said for even the imperfect moderation on YouTube.
- swebs 6y agoHow about something like PeerTube that can be self hosted?
- eric4smith 6y agoI will try! Thanks for the rec.
- MereInterest 6y agoI can't remember where I first heard it, but there was a good description of a lot of the new social networks popping up. If you make a community whose founding virtue is "no witch hunts", you shouldn't be surprised when it is primarily used by witches, regardless of the prevalence of witches in general society.
