To be fair, there’s a group of very shady instances out there, but on the other hand, those are all defederated as soon as they pop up. As it is with so many things, it’s nuanced - being free to do what you want also means that there will be people abusing that freedom, but it’s still better than being policed by people whose only incentive is money and power.

I haven’t seen any of Vaush’s content before. I now know that he is as closed-minded as the average right winger. I won’t watch Vaush in the future too.
