oh yikes. if youtube starts preventing me from watching videos I'll probably start using an alternative platform. Though I have a pretty rigorous adblock setup on my browser, and I haven't seen an ad in probably years lol. Sponsorblock is also great.
"ad blocks you back youtube" what's this one about? I must have missed it?
just kbin.social. all kbin instances federate with everyone and block no one by default but instance owners can intentionally defederate/block if they so choose. afaik kbin.social's policy is to not defederate/block (at least the admin here hasn't mentioned anything yet). I haven't heard of other kbin instances defederating at all though, but most are so small to not even be noteworthy.
If trump gets elected, america will also inevitably collapse. neither are equipped to handle the upcoming issues.
I would dispute this, especially on which parts of the left have positions on Ukraine
The far left that I see and chat with are all 100% against the ukraine/russia war and think america shouldn't be involved. It's a pretty strong consensus there.
the people who do not want war in Ukraine would like to see Ukraine be taken over by Russia because of anti-Americanism as a political base, and because they support fascist, imperial regimes (respectively to both sides).
That's an odd remark. I rarely see anyone in my circles (far left + far right) expressing pro-Russia support. But there's pretty strong consensus that America shouldn't be involved in it, nor in other overseas wars (middle east and such). The "peace" and "anti-war" stance is pretty popular among the left consistently, and RW do tend to support it in most cases (RW I see want to pull out of russia/ukraine, and israel/palestine, I've seen mixed response on other middle east conflicts). Most I see also have worries that USA will needlessly engage in war with china in the near future and wish to avoid that as well.
Most of the pro-war people tend to be democrat/republican loyalists who have more establishment views (progressive+capitalist).
See here. Obviously informal, obviously people expressing "as a joke" or just trolling. These polls bias towards right wing followers. But still revealing nonetheless. In my circles I'm seeing both far left and far right move towards populist "centrist" rhetoric and labeling. Andrew Yang's Forward Party being emblematic of that (who I just found out support No Labels).
We also saw things like Jimmy Dore go onto Tucker Carlson's show, both Dore and Carlson expressing discontent with the Biden/Trump matchup, and both being pushed out from more establishment MSM/DNC/GOP stuff.
To me it looks pretty clear that many people are eager for drastic change, in a way that would clearly benefit and help the average person; with severe opposition to the establishment talking points and organizations. We also recently saw this with the covid stuff, both far left and far right joining to express skepticism over the mainstream establishment narrative.
People are very clearly upset with the way DC politics are going. Biden is historically unpopular with everyone except his core base and progressives. Trump is pretty universally disliked except among the right (who are growing discontent with him).
When I say a Biden election will lead to the collapse of America I say this mainly because I see the way things will go in the next few years if Biden gets reelected. The automation crisis will worsen, wealth inequality will worsen, progressive extremism will worsen, geopolitical conflict will worsen, the border crisis will worsen. And when push comes to shove it's obvious to most people that biden will side with the larger wef/un agendas.
America is starting to reach around 250 years, which is historically shown to be the point of collapse for empires. The establishment organizations are planning for a big 2030 political event, and I'm sure already have an entire plan for 2028 election. I imagine growing discontent with a biden or trump second term will roll in nicely to people flocking to the candidate picked for 2028 who will almost certainly be addressing automation crisis and geopolitics.
Most people are aware biden and trump are awful, and do not like them. Most people already do not vote. and those who do vote feel "stuck" with biden/trump. Many are saying things like "I don't like biden, but I vote for him because I don't like Trump" and vice versa.
Strong action is needed, but not the kind that Biden is doing.
Federation is automatic unless your instance is using a whitelist setup.
kbin federates with everyone, and blocks no one :)
Their website suggests they'll be releasing policy positions later this summer. Seems that they'll announce a candidate in april if they're running.
ehhhh..... I think it says a lot about a person if they don't care about free speech, or the encroaching censorship from the rich 1%ers. That's literally the entire appeal of stuff like the fediverse.
If you want a strong crackdown on speech, then go back to reddit?
