Breadtube if it didn't suck.
Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.
Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.
There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.
A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Millions of people are disappearing right now due to dying but when I make videos lamenting it I get called an antinatalist and then told to kill myself.
I don't understand the anti-antinatalist stuff. Having a kid is literally the worst thing you can do to the environment. Shouldn't we reckon with that?
If you're equating a random child born anywhere in the world with a billionaire's carbon and pollution imprint, that's a staggering false equivalency.
The audience on Lemmy is self-evidently overwhelmingly from developed nations, where most of the ecological harm per-capita is done.
Even then, I'd argue 20 middle class kids in
don't equate to even half of the ecological harm of one billionaire's private jet
But by simply subtracting the number of kids I'd otherwise have by one, I'm preventing 21 tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere every year.

There is simply no way to make enough lifestyle changes to offset that. I'd have to live car-free for 55 years to offset just a single year of a theoretical child's existence... and that kid is going to live for 70-100 years.
