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.

Im cool in like what a little kid in the 80s and 90s would think of as cool. I look like a mad max character but with anime hair, I know a shitload of super underground music, I make pizza for a living, terms like 'rad', 'groovy' and 'sicknasty' are a decent part of my lexicon. Plus im absolutely hilarious in person. No false modesty there, I bring the house down at least once a night at work and usually make other people participants in the bit. I just think of a way to make a conversation happen in a way that the other person will set me up for a punchline. This is mostly workplace charm stuff cause the people I see outside of work are already on the trolley, this is my talking to normies strategy. Combine a Ninja Turtles style aura with ninja turtles style kindness. At work I am dedicated to making shit as fair as possible and sometimes that means me taking on more so someone else can get a break but when its my time for the same im not gonna hesitate to ask the same be returned and be pretty assertive about it. Basically just actually care about people around you as well as yourself so you aren't tsking any shit either. You manage the right balance and you've got a formula for behavior that is pretty much universally respected. One thing I try to do is give a direct yes or no answer to a yes or no question and then explain why. Explanation first is burying the ledge and seems wishy washy. Do a definite 'Yes' or 'No' and then follow with the reason if necessary, usually you only need a reason for no, people take yes as is
There's no surprise here when it comes to how you describe yourself lol. I think when people get to know me I'm pretty likeable, I also feel like a cartoon character, and people have told me straight up that they admire my ability to speak up for my coworkers and speak on things that others get nervous to when it comes to standing up to management. I'm big on fairness as well, probably to a fault. I am autistic, mentally ill, and not a cisdude so those are pretty big strikes against me, however, in terms of capturing a lot of peoples hearts and minds.
In terms of speaking to people when it comes to politics I'm pretty straightforward but I find that it's hard for me to pull myself out of refuting the whataboutisms and redirecting the conversation. Like instead of arguing about civility it would be much more productive to ask questions, I think, and things like "why is the embassy shooting your main area of focus? Why do you think that "our side" has to be perfect where they dont? " or trying to get people to think about idealism vs materialism. I just can never access that part of my strategic debate brain
