Why use the app, when you can use the web interface on any browser? https://www.xvideos.com/

[–] billiam0202 88 points 2 months ago

Hey now, how dare you compare that disgusting filth to pornography!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 months ago

Well for one because my work is blocking your link. I've requested they remove it from the block list though. I'm not in fucking Brazil!

I'm a bit surprised Xvideos is still viewable in "Tread on me, daddy!" states like Texas. (Maybe Paxton really thought it was Elen's homemade porn site? Just kidding, it's Czech owned, they can just ignore his deranged lawsuits. And now the most visited porn site in the world. Republicans are killing American jobs, confirmed.)

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There's a ridiculous amount of porn sites out there. Banning the big daddy Pornhub is just going to drive people to those who are generally less moderated, or teach them how to bypass such blocks - which maybe teaches some folks some media competency again.

[–] billiam0202 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Pornhub wasn't banned from Texas; it banned states like Texas, Florida, and Kentucky from access because of their ridiculous "must put self on government list to see porn" laws.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Same difference. There's bans or talks about bans like this in other countries too, for the same reasons basically.

[–] taiyang 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No no, that has considerably less offensive content.

Just don't use that cancerous platform.

I used a burner account that wasn't following many users, and the videos the X TV app offered me on first viewing includes a Megyn Kelly video accusing Tim Walz of committing “stolen valor,” a report from right-wing social media influencer Andy Ngo and Carlson’s fawning interview with historian Darryl Cooper who performs some revisionist history by calling Winston Churchill “the chief villain of the Second World War.”

I'm honestly surprised they're outright saying the Allies were the villains now...

Like, it's almost enough for me to try and Google the "historian" to see if she thinks Russia or the Nazis were the good guys.

You'd think they wouldn't push Russia because back then they claimed to be communist, but it's not like logical consistency matters to them. They like Russia now, so they could very well claim Russia was always the good guys.

Or they could just be more blatantly pro Nazi then they used to be.

it's not like logical consistency matters to them.

In fact, fascists see the ability to just say whatever gets them the most power in the moment as a strength. They're not held back by "weaknesses" like truth and facts

All that matters to them is power

They think that believing ridiculous things is a virtue, and they get training on how to do so every Sunday.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Winston Churchill was a certainly villain council member in his day, just maybe not the chief villain of WWII.

Edit:

Unless you're a fan of British colonialism, crushing unions, and aristocracy, in which case, I guess he was swell.

Lucky for him, history remembers him for standing up to Hitler, and not everything else in his life.

My condolences to the people who have to install it to write an article about it.

[–] simplejack 7 points 2 months ago

At least they get a chance to leave a 1 star review on their way out.

[–] TheBat 37 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Out now? Then what's this XVideos app on my TV?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

It's porn. In fact, it's porn all the way down.

Shocked I tell you. I am shocked.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Let me guess, the content is: blatant nazi propaganda, shilling of shitcoins, and advertising for the stupidest implementation of the most dystopian technology you can think of.

[–] HootinNHollerin 13 points 2 months ago

Don’t forget the ruzzian psy ops

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Out of curiosity, what's in that app? Like videos and shit? Or just normal shitter?

[–] simplejack 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Of what? Like their members posted videos? I genuinely don't know, as I don't have shitter

[–] simplejack 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Basically a lot of shows by former Fox News hosts and other far right vodcasters who are too extreme to be promoted on more mainstream platforms.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ok, so all the crazy outcasts whose garbage no one wants to hear/see? Got it. Good thing I don't have shitter, shit like this bothers me for real. Lol

[–] ripcord 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Unfortunately a bunch of people do want to see that shit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Good for them. Let them soak their brains with it. Lol

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Fascist/right-wing bullshit. You’re not missing out on anything.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

So, Alex Jones and his likes? 😂

[–] ulkesh 16 points 2 months ago

Strange, I didn’t even have to try it out to know that it’s garbage.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

isn't it basically the old twitter app with less content people would actually want to watch and more rubbish partisan political content?

[–] ripcord 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There was a Twitter app for Android TV?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

apple tv and android; the android one launched in 2016ish

Can't wait to not use this

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It’s good to see both sides of the cake. Personally I like to peep both X and mastodon . The contrasts tells me were we are at.

[–] simplejack 1 points 2 months ago

both sides of the cake

This two sided cake analogy is a new one for me.
