Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

not a perfect analysis, since Mickey is only human, but some worthwhile thoughts from a queer ND leftist therapist

edit: the stuff about how this behavior can echo that of the evangelical church made me realize how much of my experience the past few months had awakened religious trauma for me and was a huge catalyst for lessening my activity on this site.

Kinda pains me to see other leftists see “things happening” in an extremely sanitized filter bubble and actually believing it’s representative of real world happenings.

I’ve seen this pattern of “Wow things are finally happening!” followed by nothing happening because the “thing” falls out of the news cycle and everyone (but online leftists) loses interest. Godamn I fucking hate algorithms. They fundamentally change our understanding of reality in an almost trance-inducing way
