  • I wouldn’t say I used to be far-right but at high school, I have some right-wing opinion which is mostly from YouTubers I used to watch as well as I have internalise my homophobia and ableism because I get made fun of being queer and autistic that I felt like something was wrong with me.

    It was around lockdown that I graduated from high school. It made me realise of the times I tried to get validation from my classmates which I never really got. Also, Black Lives Matter was trending on TikTok which made me realise how very shallow right-wing space is with them constantly moving the goalpost and framing certain scenario a certain way to fit to their agenda.

    I still hate myself for it and despite I have changed, I still beat myself over it and wish I can cut myself. Better late than never but I wish I wasn’t that desperate for validation that I think even the slight gay representation is too “on the nose”.





  • I feel very mixed about it. Good for people to try PeerTube and create videos but it’s depending how much video channel there is, it’s going to be a nightmare for moderation.

    For example, other bigger Mastodon instances with open-registration despite some have good moderation team, it’s much easier to have bad actors and you had to relie on people to report them. Compared to something that’s closed, you have more control and better idea of if that account is going to be malicious. It’s not 100% fool-proof but I find those instance with approve-registration tend to have less bad-actors compared to ones that widely open.
