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.

Mikayla Raines, an autistic woman known for making heartwarming videos of rescue foxes enjoyed by millions of people around the globe, has taken her own life at the age of 29 โ€” a murder by a thousand cuts perpetrated through online abuse. She is survived by her husband Ethan and daughter Freya, who will continue to operate the Save a Fox rescue in her absence.

I empathize with and wish the best to them and the rescue, and to the rest of Mikayla Raines' friends and family, and may Raines herself rest in peace. Despite not watching Save a Fox regularly in years, I have to say that the videos warmed my heart in some tough times, so it's a huge bummer to see that someone who spread so much brightness in the world has been killed in such a horrible way. Between Mikayla Raines and Jonathan Joss, it really seems like this month has had several good people's lives taken by the world's ugliness.

Down with that ugliness! Destroy it, completely! Long live Great Humanity!

Especially because now the internet sleuths are trying to argue that her husband killed her and made it look like suicide

It was the fucking reddit-logo trash that was continually harassing her that led to the suicide, they're just not wanting to address how toxic that site is.
