It's ironic, the American left is always going on about cultural imperialism, but they are always always trying to impose their values on other cultures around the world.
Peertube 5.0.0 is out, I just upgraded FBXL video. Short videos seem to be working much better in particular. For those with peertube instances, there's some configuration changes you'll need to make in order to keep running, and some scripts you'll have to run.
I'm not mindless about it, but I'm definitely a strong free speech guy. I want people I disagree with and people I agree with to be able to speak. Doxxing is definitely one example that might be a tougher question, particularly where the intent is to harm someone by making the internet into your personal army.
Made a big post about it on wolfballs. Ultimately there's a lot of discussion to be had.
The thing is, no matter what if there's a rule it needs to be one rule for everyone applied equally. Not one rule for democrats and one rule for republicans or one rule for populists and one rule for elitists.

Posted a bunch of thoughts on this here. You'll see it on narwhal.city if you're subbed to freeforum there

Well that makes sense. In the revolutionary war we didn't have a global communications Network where one bad actor could expose the private information of someone who wished to stay anonymous to a global audience. The world was a lot more local, so journalism was generally a lot more local. A journalist could potentially dig up the personal information of an individual, but the scale was completely different. They couldn't immediately and basically for free get a whole bunch of personal information that was acquired unlawfully, and if they did, they couldn't instantly broadcast that information for free around the world instantly, and even if they did, it wasn't really a mechanism for somebody on the other side of the planet to basically for free start harassing someone else's contacts such as businesses they work with or work for.
If the press was banned from twitter for doxxing, it's overdue imo.
Twitter made up rules in order to keep the son of a former vice president who was found to be likely selling influence safe, but was strangely silent when my personal details were leaked to the press because I anonymously donated to the trucker convoy.
Had establishment press scum emailing me for days. Twitter was totally ok with that. As was the press.

Today can be stupid if yesterday was also stupid, but this is stupid in a new and different way.
I wonder what Khrushchev would have thought about comrades cuddling up next to the global capitalist elites. Who knows, maybe they would really liked it.

I read an article in the New Yorker about the fediverse, one of the biggest complaints that they had was effectively that they weren't being algorithmically boosted because they work for someone the establishment deems to be important.
A video I watched recently made a good argument that when Mussolini said fascism is better called corporatism, and it is a combination of state and corporate powers that the corporation being referred to by Mussolini is not what we consider to be a corporation today. Regardless, I don't know how anyone can look at this gordian knot of private and public interests and call it anything but fascist.
And in pure 2022 fashion, the people supporting this gordian knot claim that they are against fascism. Lol

In the US at least, a shopping mall can for free speech purposes be a park.
But for a lot of governments that ought to know better, not even a park is a park. Der Fuhrer Trudeau went on the record during the hearings into his reichstag fire as saying that protests are fine unless they're trying to effect change of a government policy -- then it's problematic.
Essentially what everyone already knew: Canadians are free to say anything their government agrees with.

You're right, and it's that "we're going to say whatever we need to say to be right in the moment" attitude that makes it so satisfying seeing it happen.
If you at least try to live by a code of ethics, people might not agree with you, but at least they'll respect you.

That's odd, I thought journos were adamant that "it's a private platform and they can do what they want" when it was people they disliked getting banned.
They've been crying about trust and safety for the past month! Here -- They're getting exactly what they asked for! What's the problem?

Moments like this are the things that make people not trust journalists. Imagine saying "Neo Nazis and white supremacists should be condemned completely" and it gets twisted into "White supremacists are very fine"
I'm not saying you should get behind Trump, the idiot released an NFT today ffs. He talks a good game then fails miserably. Sometimes he doesn't even talk a good game, saying some things that if he actually did them would solidly land him on a lot of people's bad guy radar. I'm not saying you should get behind the Republicans, there's a ton of bad people there who deserve all the hate they get.
I'm saying you should get behind the truth, the full truth, no matter where that takes you. And people are going to lie to you, and you've got to be very careful about realizing that at all times. Once you know the truth, only then can you make good decisions, whatever those decisions may be.
