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.

I understood her argument as advocating for opting first for calling-in with other leftists and well-intentioned others, not as advocating for never calling-out anyone ever.
I understood her to mean that calling-in can reinforce community behavioral expectations in an educational and edifying way, while calling out is often exclusionary and punitive and can accidentally reinforce oppressive systems, so we should call-in within our communities.
if this interpretation is incorrect, or if it is correct but the thesis is problematic in some way, please lmk. I will delete the post.
i think it's a good discussion, and i agree with your interpretation and the message of her video. i don't think either you or she did anything wrong.
i was venting frustrations about recent events in my life related to the subject, because i and others in my org have been accused of being too 'rigid' or 'unrealistic' on principles like anticapitalism, and that we're 'driving away' potential membership by not being more 'moderate' in our politics.
this isn't a new experience for me, and so i was looking for a sanity check. i don't know where healthy gatekeeping ends and purity politics begins, but OrionsMasks's comment gave me something to think about.
