If you know an instance is getting shut down in advance, you can delete your own posts before it gets shut down. Most platforms will send out a delete request to other instances. There is no guarantee that they will honor it, but most do.

If you are excluding people based on net worth or the software they use (or don't use), both are ridiculous.

If you want to find additional people who use a certain software or have a certain net worth, that if fine, since you are not excluding people based on that. Making new friends is usually a good idea. But being elitist and looking down on people is where I draw the line.

For me personally, I don't like abandoning friends because they don't use a particular software. That makes it cringe for me.

I think they meant that no one should be surprised that there are communists on a platform created by communists.

No matter what you did in this situation, you are screwed. If you don't respond harshly enough, you will be attacked for it. If you react too harshly, you will be accused of overreacting, even by people who agree with your reaction. It is impossible to please everyone in this situation.

A lot of people don't realize they are being manipulated to fight each other instead of dealing with the people who are actually causing the problems, the ones pulling the strings and syphoning off all the wealth for themselves and their friends.

Plot twist. All 5 are the same guy using multiple alt accounts.

That is a tactic they learned from real life tanks. Argue with one tank, more tanks show up.

PeerTube has a built-in redundancy system. Theoretically, you could mirror all the videos on PeerTube using PeerTube itself. Except those that do not allow mirroring.

Are they blocking illegal content (such as content that promotes violence or issues threats) and content against the terms of service (like hateful, trolling, or disrespectful content)?

Or are they banning people based on their political beliefs or who they voted for, even if their content is not political in any way whatsoever?

And how are they defining alt right? A literal Neo Nazi? Or someone who voted Republican?
