I see what you were trying to say. But it doesn't make exception for the fact you were doing two suspicious things which was 1) unapologetically posting a site associated with reactionaries (hooktube), and 2) giving credence to a reactionary, right-wing movement (opensource)

I have no idea if you're actually a reactionary, or maybe just not really aware of the dangers reactionaries present with technology. But either way it's a good idea to take it seriously if someone calls out that you're posting potentially harmful stuff.

Peertube is a FOSS video sharing platform you can support and promote as an alternative: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/wiki#other-peertube-servers

Sorry, I NEVER talked about "open source" as a movement, all I meant by that was-quoting myself in that thread:

I'll try to-again-rephrase it in another manner:

If someone can have access to the code that hooktube uses then it would be really nice if they could rehost it somewhere else and delete the Friends section.

I think you're misunderstanding what Hooktube is, videos aren't hosted there, it's just a "proxy" for Youtube.

I do understand what you meant. It was a colloquial/semantic issue that most people succumb to since open source has become ubiquitous online. But from someone with a free software mindset, you literally saying "open source" means you're giving credence to a capitalist development model. On an anti-capitalist, anti-reactionary site, the reaction is obviously going to be WTF.

Now compound that with the fact this "proxy" is proprietary (that is, we have no idea what they're doing when we access their site), and developed by an alt-right dev who is likely to target and attack people who use this site.

Btw, the point of mediation isn't to determine guilt. You're not going to be banned for acknowledging that you made a mistake. If anything, we can end this here if you agree to stop posting reactionary sites and speaking in their terms.

That's not correct since I was merely asking if the code was "known" or "public" so that someone can fork it.

hooktube is literally used by reactionaries on voat to get around youtube and use to have a literal nazi site listed under their "friends" section. not only that, look at their fucking vidoes. the same pieces of shit in t_d and gab use and promote the site.

As well as other people. Just because a service is popular among group X doesn't mean that there aren't other people who use it.

to get around youtube

Hooktube CAN'T fetch deleted videos and those that receive strikes from Youtube, it's just for 1) easy interface that doesn't spike up your CPU usage, 2) the download option, 3) getting around geo-blocking.

not only that, look at their fucking vidoes. the same pieces of shit in t_d and gab use and promote the site.

If the demographics change, then the popular videos will change as well.

If I was defending it then why I'm I advocating for DDoSing it and to destroy it? https://raddle.me/f/mediation/25975/comment/33615 Which is the entire point. (I won't advocate for DDoSing another fork of it that isn't primarily used by alt-righters)

you STILL call it open source

I was asking if its code was known, but apparently it isn't.

Notice as well how I was during the entire thread respectful with /u/zombie_berkman even when he used bad language and insults.

You do realize the very video that I posted is anti-racism and makes fun of a racist and now you accuse me of being a nazi?
