@TechConnectify I really love your content. Has a kind of 80s/90s morning show recorded on a vhs vibe.

@TechConnectify What a weird thing to take the time to type to someone. If they don’t want to watch your videos, no one is forcing them to. Just don’t watch, don’t interact and move on with their life. Let the people who do enjoy your content interact with you.
I guess I have the sheltered online life of never encountering Reply Guy. -

@TechConnectify Wow that's horrible, this kind of higher than thou whiny attitude is so eyeroll inducing. I do see it pop up a lot here unfortunately.
Fedi tends to attract the type of people who believe they're better than everyone else for not making the same choices they do. Same with Linux, console war vs. PC crap, etc.
It's this attitude of "I make better choices than you". And it's like, well being a smug asshole about it ain't helping anyone else do the same.

@TechConnectify It sucks reading something like this. How would an ideal social platform deal with such types of comments? Maybe some kind of downvote functionality?

@TechConnectify Mastodon feels more like an antisocial network. I love the idea, but it seems to attract really grumpy people. It’s just not fun like Twitter was.
Are you on Bluesky? I haven’t set up an account yet but this might be the thing that pushes me over the edge.

@fil I don't have a specific answer but you did uncover something useful:
When Twitter had the "show tweets which are potentially offensive" or whatever button, even if I clicked that button it was a lot easier to let those tweets roll off my back because *something* indicated the hidden tweet was... bad.
It allowed me to dismiss such stuff even if I read it.

There seems to be some misunderstanding here.
This message has been pinned to my profile for months. It never caused me problems till today. Many agreed with it.
I repost it from time to time when someone in a lively discussion feels compelled to post a YT link out of the blue. I have seen people complain about links to X or to Threads in place of answers, I feel the same about links to YT.
It has nothing to do with you in particular.

@dl2jml hey, I appreciate you responding directly.
I would ask that you sit with the idea that you made a blanket statement which illustrates plainly you think there is no value to sharing anything on YT, which may technically not be addressing me specifically, absolutely does functionally address me.
Maybe don't feel compelled to share your message when the creator of a video being shared is tagged. Or to be honest, just let people share what they want to share without judgement.

@dl2jml you also made a lot of complaints about YouTube which just... don't apply to me.
I don't take sponsorship money. I don't ask people to like and subscribe. And I don't think my opinion is more important than anybody else's.
There's actually a lot of us hosting videos on YouTube! And we do it because they pay us. 55% of the ad revenue goes to creators and it's a major part of how I make a living.
Perhaps this will help you understand why your unprompted virtue signalling annoyed me.

@TechConnectify I'm so sorry that reply reached you.. considering it's projection and part of the "Fossisphere" which is about as weird/unwelcome as the manisphere...
Huge fan... sorry to hear this place isn't working for you. Keep being awesome.
