  • What do you mean by “run”? A gouvernment should fund universities and research institutes who conduct such experiments. I am not opposed to the government having a say in which lines of research to fund in priority depending on what their political project. For example some grant dedicated to energy sources more carbon friendly. But the government should not be more specific topic-wise or method-wise, and should instead rely on panels of experts for questions such as which line of research looks promising enough to put in more gov money.

    Fediverse = youtube with ads interrupting your vids

    The problem is that Peertube’s catalogue is not at all comparable to YT’s. I understand that a creator can attract their public to PT that way, but that’s pretty much all




  • Why wouldn’t they? What do they have to lose in such a federation? One may argue, as OP did, that they would want to spread their ideas to new publics, without being too afraid of losing their own.

    Hence my question on whether they made any statement about not wanting to federate with leftist instances.

    I get your point that their core ideology is nauseating and incompatible with any form of leftism. I’m also not saying anything along the lines of federating with them being any good.





  • They often won’t defederate from you and get butthurt when you defederate from them.

    This behaviour is well explained by their desire to fight for “absolute free speech”, so it does not require the extra assumption that their intention is to gather attention.

    On mastodon they’ll even do campaigns where they send suicide promoting dms with gore in them to lgbt people.

    Even this one can be seen as overcompensating for the “pro-LGBT censure”. While the ideology itself does not justify making these campaigns, it depicts censoring them as even worse.

    Not saying they are right in any way, just that the core of the problem you describe is their ideology of absolute free speech, rather than it being misrepresented by attention-seeking individuals.
