@coolboymew There must be some tech news site out there that doesn't cover that crap. It would be a great place to learn about the few companies who still make dumb appliances and stuff like that.
@coolboymew @noyoushutthefuckupdad I'd assume it would just be a proxy service like Invidious.
@noyoushutthefuckupdad @coolboymew I think Odysee is going to allow you to watch YouTube videos soon, in addition to all the videos on the LBRY blockchain.
@cjd @pepsi_man Won't stop the crybabies who complain that they have to install a second chat application that might not be what they are used to.
Seriously, I've seen this reaction when communities still insist on using IRC, XMPP, Matrix, forums, web chats, etc.
Looks like Texas wants Discord to have mandatory age verification on all communities, not just the NSFW ones.

@Hephaestic Understandable. I'm mostly talking about the grifters and their followers. I feel like so many people gave up their dreams, thinking that they are going to fight a greater cause instead, only to get themselves surrounded by feds, doxed, or worse.
I don't know why Mark is hosting this anniversary meetup. Who is going to show up? Most of the e-celebs have long since checked out and even the followers have long since moved on as well. This is just going to end up being right-wing Dashcon.
Say something radical
The original sin of the internet was not the existence of Tumblr, but it's separation from 4chan to begin with. It filtered the 2 sides of autistic spectrum for just long enough to develop incompatible cultural norms, that caused the woke-based wars.
Without the separation, it is possible, that the "one autism" coalition would still exist.
