JFC... are you this daft or just trolling? I'll map out this entire conversation because you're not able to keep up with your own BS and then I'm done with you.

This started because you made a claim that YouTube demonetizing things = "companies fiddling with speech."

Then, before I ever responded to you, the next comment that you made was "Free speech usually means that you have freedom to express yourself, not that you're speaking for no pay lol."

So it started off sounding like you were equating demonetization with a lack of free speech. I replied, _"To be honest, I'm not sure why YouTube was brought into a conversation about free speech. YouTube is not a free speech platform; thus, demonetization of someone on YouTube's platform has nothing at all to do with free speech."

Then you wanted to move the goalposts, so you said, "This conversation wasn't about free speech, it was about companies fiddling with speech." as you removed the word "free." You have the ability to NOT post on YouTube. YouTube CANNOT "fiddle with speech" if you do not participate in YouTube. Anything you put on there is content that they own. If somehow, some employee of YouTube starts following you around and setting off a bullhorn anytime you start to talk, I'll agree, then they're "fiddling with speech." If some employee of YouTube (Alphabet), starts coming on to Kbin or Lemmy, and removing your comments from here, then I'll agree with you in that scenario too. When an employee of YouTube is removing comments or not promoting comments that they don't like, that's not a speech issue; it's content moderation.

Content creation.

If YouTube shuts down indefinitely in a couple hours without warning; do you believe that you've lost the right of speech?!?!

Not sure yet. I just visited WA. I loved Seattle but it seems like everywhere that’s not Seattle is somewhat neglected. I5 is a piece of shit.

WA was at the top of my list but it is not anymore. I guess I’ll go check out Colorado in a couple of months.

Frog-Brawler, 1 year ago (edited 1 year ago) to asklemmy in What do you want for Christmas?

To move out of state (FL).

Frog-Brawler, 1 year ago to asklemmy in If you could custom make your *perfect* shoes, what features would they have?

Good soles that don’t fall off while walking.

Looks pretty fucking awesome to me 🤷‍♂️

It’s generally intended to mean “pull your head out of your ass, what was once acceptable is no longer.”

Glad I was able to spell that out for you.

I’m not the weak of personally sack of shit that used “blocking” as my solution. That was you.

Frog-Brawler, 1 year ago to memes in those ppl...

It’s not the word that I give a shit about; I just abhor people that opt to not attempt to use a modicum of respect when talking to other people. That word offends people for very specific reasons, and I (and most other people) phased it out of using it as a pejorative a long time ago.

If you want to act like a fucking child; keep on keeping on. You should block me now.

Go back to IRL then you dumb cunt.

Frog-Brawler, 1 year ago to memes in those ppl...

Whatever should you do? Probably stop being a cunt.

Frog-Brawler, 1 year ago to memes in those ppl...

Yet, you’re cool with doing it… okay.

Frog-Brawler, 1 year ago to memes in those ppl...

And probably about 23 years where it’s been frowned on to use the word as a pejorative. Don’t use your capital letters with me dipshit.

Yea I remember it went to shit around 2018 or somewhere there about. I had been hoping for a viable alternative for a while. I should thank Spez in retrospect.
