Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

This Bluesky post is the source of the video - https://subium.com/profile/falconryfinance.bsky.social/post/3lcitxs2yac27 - two things...

  1. I'm shocked at how gleeful the thread is.

  2. I'm even more shocked that Bluesky hasn't nuked the post. It's been up for 2 hours. And it doesn't even have a content warning.

Edit 1

It's still up and it reads "3 hr" ago.

Edit 2

Goodbye sweet post for you are dead.

Holy shit. OP, posting the now deleted list of executive officers with photographs from the UHC website.

And then the follow-up of someone putting all the faces and names on the mountain from Mortal Kombat 2 that shows you all the people that you have to fight to win the Mortal Kombat tournament.

This account seems very cool, threw them a follow. As libbed up as Bluesky is and how easy it makes it to block entire groups of people, I think moments like this can be used to push people in a good direction if you don't have a Stalin profile pic or something else that just makes them shut their brains off.

Maybe we should make a Bureaucrat Bluesky account.

Maybe we should make a Bureaucrat Bluesky account.

The problem is libs over there go insane with joy in blocking/muting. The account would need to be sneaky and be honest but muted yet still edgy enough that the libs are intrigued. I personally don't like memes but an account that posted only memes might be best. Replies would need to be sort of bland. You wouldn't want to trigger the libs innate desire to punch left.

Considering our recent posts, including from myself, this may not work after all lol. We'd definitely have to tone it down.

There's Palestinian account at Bluesky who - I assume posts all day - and they can get ~1+K posts for their Gaza posts. But they are surely making a Herculean effort to phrase things in just the right lib-friendly way every single time. We'd somehow have to figure how a way to be edgier than that. But I have no idea how. In "Seinfeld" Elaine has a joke about finding a man by treating him like little squirrel and nobody should make BIG MOVEMENTS!

Is there even a Goldilocks zone between bland and edgy?
