Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

...Which sadly won't happen any time soon as 99% of them wouldn't shift away from the ad revenue model and the fediverse don't offer a comparable alternative.
YouTube standing between the creators and their communities is a big problem. They become the literal thought police that blackholes comments that hit the black box machine learned moderation AI wrong. Creators have no idea their viewers’ comments are being actively censored because these don’t even land on their review page.
There's a lot of channel that doesn't have youtube ads but earn their money via sponsor and patreon. It's definitely doable, but moving audience off platform is the problem.
Not to mention they will have to handle the backend themselves or rely on someone that's not paid to do it but merely on passion alone. I can see small time youtuber build an audience here but the million+ sub one will have some trouble.
