Over the past week or so there has been a serious spam problem hitting mastodon and rest of the fediverse especially misskey over on the japanese side of things and the story behind it is absolutely wild.
he whines as he broadcasts from ad-riddled youtube
Ads are just spam that someone pays for
Did you... watch the video? You act as if he's bashing the fediverse or isn't a strong supporter of it
i just hate youtube
No, YouTube has a serious idiot commenter problem.
Both can be true.
Sure, but when the first claim comes from a sensationalist youtuber, its claim to veracity sort of loses weight.
They are all shills sucking ads for profit
Lol, if you think that absolutely open sign ups on instances isn't a problem, then thanks for advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions
Nice strawman argument, was that what I said? Nope.
Also, "advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions"? Go easy on the thesaurus, kid.
Always the hallmark of a real contender. Oh, did I say "hallmark"? Hope that doesn't cause you to stumble. "Stumble" means to trip while walking; in this case it's a metaphor for thinking.
Hope that was clear enough for you.
Huh. Considering the primary point of the video was how open signups are bad, I don't know why you contradicted your comment on the other thread and said this video has no valid point.
So nice self-contradiction I guess?
you'll really are whining about the video, instead trying to help with the issue
Oh really and you must be the one doing all the work eh ?
no, but i'm not trying to hide the problem
Fair
