It used to say gender expression and identity. If it doesn’t, that’s a deliberate decision that could cause enforcement calls like ‘well that’s not your REAL gender so this isn’t harassment’.

Mind providing a bit more context to this so I can look it up ? I’ll boycott substick if need be.

Oh sorry, didn’t know about that

What matters is how this affects enforcement.

You still think things are run by reasonable people?!

“Gender” means nothing without context. By a MAGAs definition of gender this policy doesn’t protect trans people, for example. We don’t know how this rule will be interpreted in practice. Even if you don’t consider the intent behind making this change, this is objectively a weaker guarantee of protection than what we had with “gender identity and expression”.

Any suggestions where to go? I mostly watch warhammer painting content such as tutorials for techniques I don’t know and video game content either long form retrospectives to fall asleep or guides for what I am playing. I’ve tried to get off YouTube completely but these specific niches are all that’s left for me.

not just stop, rip every half decent video from there and save it somewhere else. Losing everything in youtube is library of alexandria level loss.

If as many people as possible self host their own peertube, even for just your own videos, it wouldn’t replace youtube completely, but it would be a giant leap in the right direction.

Definitely stop

What else has such a catalog? Going to be hard to persuade creators to host their own content with ads and subscriptions.

Judging a captive market for not being able to break free from a monopoly is just another form of oppression, buddy.

Pichai kissed the ring. He’s colluding with the person who tried to overturn the elections and install himself as a ruler.

All of the billionaires that were at the inauguration are in the same boat. I’m at a point where I believe the crimes of any of them should be tried and convicted with the punishments being doled out collectively to all colluders, but that’s me.

I’d be going for the death penalty from the prosecution side, since it seems like that is what we do now to people who cause one or more people to die, no matter how unethical the victim(s) were.

Just your garden variety bigots and assholes then?

Also, I think you should read up on what facisim is and why it’s being so widely used right now as highly oppressive rhetoric is being pushed from many far-right leaders throughout the world.

nazis and fascists, without ever knowing what those words even mean

I am Jack’s complete lack of self awareness

Hang on. I just scrolled down the comments list for a couple of minutes and didn’t see anyone calling anyone else a Nazi or a fascist. What are you going on about?

And YouTube is a company. They don’t believe in anything except increasing shareholder value. It’s got nothing about far left or whatever. Gender identity isn’t even a far left idea, unless your Overton window is skewed.

Also, you’ve just sort of outed yourself unnecessarily as an ignorant bigot in a left leaning community with your statement:

Just because someone doesn’t want to play the gender tip toe dance, doesn’t mean they’re nazis

Of course they’re not Nazis. No one’s calling them a Nazi. They’re calling that someone a bigot.

Actually, it seems that people here are more concerned about companies not sticking to the far left ideology

Actually, it’s people who are concerned about companies kowtowing to a fascist regime, the Trump government.

Womp womp, get bent and bootlick Trump in hopes he might acknowledge you for his next grift.

get fucked bigot

Thanks?

I’m with you on the “they’re not Nazi thing”

I think a Lemmy is being a version targeted radicalization for certain groups.

But still I think you’re wrong that we can separate technology from this political stuff right now. It’s not separate. Technology is the medium that groups are using to spread this stuff. It’s important and interesting to see how they’re doing it.

Content should focus on the tech side of it. And also why be angry at the side that’s just trying to protect their freedoms here. If it wasn’t for the people trying to limit their freedoms, we’d never hear of this stuff.

The issue isn’t people trying to identify as another gender. It’s the people saying no they can’t and then abusing their power and influence to do it.

BASED

I recommend you take strides to learn how propaganda works, most specifically the purpose of shifting opinion (i.e. the Overton Window): “I’m just asking questions” and “I’ll let anyone speak” are two of the most effective methods of propaganda. It does not need to be intentional on the part of the interviewer.
