It seems like a nice idea that they offer a paid option for an ad free internet

What a shame.

Running my home servers

They get em early don’t they over there at the big G.

Your first mistake was Google itself

Join an instance you believe in. If it happens to enough people they will move on.

I download as much as the next person but is it not more about the artists team getting paid?

I frequently do but not for the adverts I just don’t trust YouTube content takedown policies.

You sound like a bigoted hateful idiot. And no.

We tried ubi during lock downs Here and it not only failed catastrophically but our government had to give up on billions of dollars people aren’t eligible for it caused catastrophic nearly unrecoverable inflation and people are now walking away from their mortgages that they can no longer afford

People do though they just aren’t arrogant about it.

Tipping is why I carry cash for restaurants I don't need to let the server know the number of audible beeps I'm hitting on the machine as they loom over me to guilt me into that 25% tip for whatever ungodly reason exists on the machine.

I miss the days of oink and waffles but I don't have any of proofs from them these days since the fire.

What do you think that they’re looking for for the application to join?

It would be nice if the filter was like an optional reaction instead of like a hard ban

I think it’s more likely that the demographic of Internet culture always has tended to lean fairly progressive

There’s a LOT of extremist left wingers but it’s ok because there’s a down arrow and block buttons. Oddly enough I haven’t seen much extremist right wing stuff plus I don’t have to care if someone doesn’t like me here so I’m less concerned about being honest.

You have to remember that these are people that left Reddit, which was notorious for a self reinforcing echo chamber they are about to be rudely awakened by the harsh reality of freedom of speech. People are either going to buy their bullshit or leave no amount of whining about it. On our end. It is really gonna fix it.

As I keep saying everywhere else the admins of the various instances are likely going to have to abide by the laws of their land. If you don’t like that instance move on
