I mean legaly you’re right but free speech as a concept still applies to private companies they just dont have to follow it

You dont even need to go to a new instance you can just join another comunity on a different server

They made the admins sign nda’s so its unlikely we will hear anything about it

I don’t expect my data to be fully deleted in a centralized system either. even if it was deleted from the central server someone might have made an archive of it

and reddit is definitely guilty of this since they were bringing back peoples deleted comments and accounts

They could but there is still a loss of income if they do switch so they would be more inclined not to switch especialy if the channel is only just big enough for the creator to make a living from it

not saying it’s impossible though if youtube really fucks things up.

I think the us is worse because I live there they might use this data against me what can china do to me?

If you live In china though…

I feel like the problem with moving away from youtube is that the larger chanels making money off of it arent going to want to move because they wont get monitized if they do. If they do move it will probably be to another corperate platform.

I really dont like what youtube is planning on doing by restricting adblockers and adding more unskippable ads though. Hopefully that moves at least some people to peertube.

when I worked at walmart some people would get so offended if I suggested wearing the opposite genders clothes even if the item was basically the same for males and females.

a polo shirt for men is cheaper and you’re probably just wearing it because of your workplace why does it matter?

the problem is that google takeout does not let me export my subs for some reason so I haven’t really used it. (it says no data found)

also google sent them a legal notice

please can youtube be next?

I really want to stop using my google account and that’s the only thing keeping me from moving away from it.
