If you're building software/platforms that do not include robust tools that one can use to effectively protect themselves from harassment, you're making the problem worse.

If you're not coming down hard on toxic and often violent bigoted behavior, you're contributing to the problem.

PV is proof positive that we don't have to deal with any of this non-sense if we just *try*.

If you have a bigot problem in your community, it's because you want it there.

Period.

Hello Fediverse, and and especially PeerTube's admins.

After finding Neo-Nazi content on the instance I was using, I realized that far-right groups have created PeerTube instances or use unmoderated instances to share their videos.

This content federates on other instances.

I've created this account to list somewhere theses instances, making it easier to isolate them and their content and protect us.

The list : https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/VYembCGMfcWQjDTYmKLVIOkdFg0Z3ApcwIaRIgyPbeY/

You can help by reporting instances to this account.

You can follow this account to get update about this list (theses will be under a content warning).

@alexbuzzbee @Stoori We get sold the idea of owning less and renting stuff as consumers, but corporations owning less is a much more radical idea. If they truly want to support sharing and open knowledge, they should share their algorithms and derived insights about the world. #platforms

The surviving Big Tech companies will be scared so far out of their minds that they won't touch another neural network for a decade.

This requiring everyone to post their pronouns in their profile is ridiculous imo. Its just so not helpful, people who care about what you use for them will have them, if not just default to they for everyone else until advised otherwise. Thats the whole point of having a neutral pronoun, and you should be defaulting to using it. Mandating that other people list their pronouns and updaye if they change when they may be in flux to save you trouble is not useful or progressive.
