I don't particularly watch/like PewDiePie, but he is joining the train and spreading the word, which is awesome. He is self hosting services and using GrapheneOS now.

No one ever gets to be a Nazi "ironically" - pretend to be a Nazi, and you're a Nazi. He could agree with me on a dozen issues, and he'd still be a Nazi (and it might make me question that much agreement). Seems awfully convenient all these recent forays into Linux and talking about degoogling - almost like after years of keeping a lower profile, he and his team are trying really hard to rehabilitate his public image.

This isn't YouTuber "drama" - this is a guy who repeatedly engaged in very public examples of bigotry and parroting Nazi symbols and salutes. So yeah - we do in fact know.

The guy is trying to rehabilitate his public image by talking about a niche nerd stuff????? It doesn't make any sense
