Since red., DD Geopolitics etc. have been banned from the mainstream social media platforms after the stupidest US State Department announcement, I was thinking twice about joining Rumble. However, the biggest obstacle for joining was queerphobia.
PS: Might invite red. and DD Geopolitics to join the site.
You seem to be responding to the first sentence of my comment with no comprehension of everything else in my comment.
If you think that there is no capacity of leftist infiltration on Twitch, you're wrong (see: all of the leftist streamers I listed above).
And if you think that Rumble has any potential to harbor leftist content, you are wrong again.So, twitch, owned by Bezos, which complies with US repression is "open to leftist infiltration," but Rumble, owned by Thiel, is not?
I use both platforms, and I know of several leftist Rumble channels (Syrianalysis, Richard Medhurst, Danny Haiphong, Geopolitical Economy Report). Does that disprove your claims, or is the whole "Twitch is open to leftist infiltration because there are some leftists" bunk? (Frankly I think anywhere is open to leftist infiltration- right up until it isn't, something that all imperial core-owned platforms can and will be subjected to)
Twitch is more geared towards livestreams, also, whereas more.. journalistic, academic, or analysis-focused content fits more with the Rumble/YouTube format.
Sure it does, I hadn't heard of any of those. I'm glad you found leftist channels on Rumble. I, personally, would be very hesitant to point someone to Rumble (or Twitch) in general, rather than to specific channels, whether they're on Rumble or Twitch.
Same, though as I see it that extends to all large western platforms, really. Twitch is generally more inoffensive (because its focus tends to be gaming, and so long as one avoids the chuds most channels are more apolitical than ghoulish), that said.
I didn't exactly find the leftist channels I mentioned on Rumble, admittedly- they're the reasons I use it (Syrianalysis and Richard Medhurst are demonetized, and now I suppose Africa Stream is banned on YT). I basically followed channels I had already been watching on YouTube, as a backup (or to support the creators who were being repressed by YT)
