I primarly do gaming videos and livestreams.
I like Rumble and have decent interaction on my gaming videos and livestreams.
Bitchute is filled with botviews. I had 0 comments on any of my videos the past 3 years and had triple the views compared to YT or Rumble.
Odysee I don’t really like it. I had no views or comments on any of my videos (syndicated with my YT channel)
Peertube sucks. I feel I can’t find videos without going through several instances. Really hard for uploaders as each instant has their own rules and file/length size.

La police détourne le fichier des passeports et des cartes d’identité
https://www.laquadrature.net/2025/11/24/la-police-detourne-le-fichier-des-passeports-et-des-cartes-didentite/
Fournir sa photographie et ses empreintes quand on demande son passeport ou sa carte d’identité est plus lourd de conséquence que ce qu’on imagine. Ces données, qui sont enregistrées dans le fichier des « titres électroniques sécurisés » #TES sont récupérées par la police par un contournement de la loi. La Quadrature du Net a pu obtenir des témoignages et preuves formelles de l’utilisation abusive de ce fichier pour identifier des personnes lors d’enquêtes judiciaires. Nous avons alerté la #CNIL sur ce scandale qui était malheureusement prévisible.

[Discussion] What episodes are masterpieces for you?
Some of mine:
Violet Evergarden Eps 7-10
Aria the Origination Eps 8-13
Takopi’s Original Sin Eps 1-4 and 6
Clannad After Story Ep 18
A Place Further Than the Universe Ep 12
BanG Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!! Ep 10
86 episode 23 - Handler One (probably the most beautiful and touching thing I’ve ever seen in any medium).
Sword Art Online episode 3 - The Red-nosed Reindeer (a hard watch, but very well done and with a pretty much perfect ending).
Ikoku Nikki episode 1 - Overflow (my all-time favorite first episode).
Akudama Drive episode 12 - Akudama Drive (“Serves you right.”)
Yuru Yuri episode 5 - When Akari and the Cicadas Cry (comedy gold from start to finish).
Non Non Biyori episode 10 - We Watched the First Sunrise of the Year (I love the dynamic between Kaede and Renge).
Cheng He Titong season 2 episode 12 - Thank You For Saying These to Me (Yu Wanyin and Xie Yong’er and bitter truths in the bitter cold - beautiful).

Good to know. I guess if I ever sign up to another instance, it’ll be a pylova instance, not a piedfed one.

yes, although after quite a bit of backlash, he apparently added a switch to turn off most of it. it seems that Rimu does not like memes, judging by the fact he added several functions to suppress them. things like marking meme comms “low quality”, making upvotes count less than on other posts, etc. those functions have been removed in PyLova for obvious reasons. memes are fun, and they are culturally relevant to millennials and Gen Z. and while it’s true that older generations like Rimu might not appreciate them as much, they shouldn’t be quietly punished without telling anyone.
Very heavy panel again. Humans are amazing just for how they thrive when conditions seem set up to destroy everything.
Hour 2 is today’s short talks. Starting with a visual artist whose current work is a study of border barriers built in the 21st century. Syria, Afghanistan. Artist works from online research, not just working from images but stories, conversations, lived experiences and attending conferences. The work is produced by printing from dry point etching on acrylic (plexiglass).
Talk 2 is about building a lexicon of harmful online speech. To combat it.
This one is SO SO SO important for our Fediverse, y’all. (Cc: @iftas )This work is coming from global majority participants who are woefully under represented in our moderation and community leadership roles.
Speaker told a story of “Andrew”, the king of toxic masculinity. Everything she described had all the white brains in the room thinking “Tate”.
The name to know is “Kibe”.
The platform is kictanet.or.ke
Just a head's up, it looks like LearnWorlds may have been hacked, and their mail server is currently being used to phish YouTube accounts (LearnWorlds is a major white-label online course platform, so you may not realize you're a user of their platform).
This morning I received an email from LearnWorld's official mail server, claiming something I posted on my YouTube channel violated the company's copyright, and that I need to respond immediately.
The email felt off. It cited no specific copyright violations, didn't reference my channel by name or link to any videos, was sent on a Saturday morning, and YouTube has a built-in copyright system to handle exactly this.
On the second pass I realized the link it asks recipients to visit to handle the "copyright claim" is a YouTube redirect link. It uses the official YouTube url, but has an embedded redirect which takes you to a third-party website.
The site is designed to look like an official YouTube webpage that enables users to review copyright claims against their channel. It contains both the YouTube and Google branding, as well as a very similar theme to the official YouTube one.
The site asks users to look up their channel name to check for copyright claims, presents them with a fake copyright violation, then asks them to "verify" their channel.
The channel verification button takes the user to what looks like a official Google OAuth sign in page, which if they log into, will give the hackers control over the Google account they sign in with, enabling them to steal both the Google account and associated YouTube channel.
SpaceX has incredibly impressive engineering! ...That they are putting towards destroying the upper atmosphere with pollution from launches and reentries, dropping potentially lethal garbage on everyone from orbit, stopping the entire field of observational astronomy, and soon ending our ability to use Low Earth Orbit for anything, while making shitloads of money for the richest dude in the world.
Time to go pat goats.

I've become fascinated with frozen water puddles. The concentric cracks, the tiny pinecones temporarily frozen in time. An often overlooked display of nature's artistic prowess! I think what makes them so alluring is that they're temporary...
@flame looks great let me know if you need some audio once you get further
#TIL that #kaliLinux has a #peertube channel!

There’s always peertube. It’s light on content, but that’s all the more reason, be the change you want to see in the world. You can always mirror them on YouTube and elsewhere

Idea: "extended range" plug-in electric hybrid, except the fossil-fuel-burning part is a separate module that you can remove -- turning the vehicle into a pure EV -- or even replace with more batteries.
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
