@backus this thread on HN prompted me to think about YouTube's demonetization "crisis" and how it's affected content creators https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17577372 …
...and how that relates to some of what you've been discussing re: decentralization

That also happened with Mastodon and the Fediverse in general! You get decentralization ideologues, anti-corporate people, FL/OSS people, furries, vulnerable trans people, Japanese lolicon fans who can't use Twitter http://www.ethanzuckerman.com/blog/2017/08/18/mastodon-is-big-in-japan-the-reason-why-is-uncomfortable/ … etc. etc. And sometimes they bicker

There is something tragic and funny about how decentralized platforms like Mastodon attract extreme communities in exile as well as people that want Twitter to police speech more, add content warnings, etc

Just looked into what happened to r/DarknetMarkets after reddit shut them down. A Tor hidden service clone of reddit with its own DarknetMarkets subreddit. Incrediblepic.twitter.com/gcAezt6qh7

My prediction for PeerTube (or something like it) is that it will be privacy activists + less than desirable communities that legitimately need a home. Speculating on current events, prob whatever weird subcultures we don't know about that get screwed by future fake news policing
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
