I prefer "list" view over grid view. Switching to grid view shows six videos before the break, but significantly less information about the video.

…is actually an understatement. What they’re actually doing is engaging in the equivalent of blood libel and trying to incite a pogrom.

thanks, i didn't have sufficient vocabulary to describe before. But I mean the Tiktok creator was they were talking about in the video was Dylan Mulvaney, whose big transgression in the eyes of these people was getting sent a can of Bud Light from Bud Light officially that had her face on it. She was being sent tons of death threats and, iirc, it started to overflow into her real life where she was being harassed irl and she became afraid to leave her home for a while, which is what the video mainly focused on. It just blew my mind that someone could have so little empathy as to suggest she deserved to be treated that way (and potentially worse if she hadn't taken steps to protect herself) over something so small.

and as for what to do, i agree with you generally. it's just that when i navigated to Veritasium's most recent video on Odysee and saw the homophobia in the comments (which, btw, they must be obsessed with gay people cuz the video is totally unrelated to the subject?) i didn't feel completely right not mentioning how many nazis there seem to be around on these platforms in case it puts anyone else off as much as it puts me off. Louis Rossman made a video fairly recently where he talked a bit about PeerTube and Odysee and he said something like, "I keep seeing people in my comments talk about hating Google and Youtube and wanting to move to another platform, but when I recommend PeerTube or Odysee they say there's not enough content on them, or they don't like the people on them: well you should pick one." he went on - "right now these are essentially the only alternatives to Youtube and if you want a platform that is more respectful of consumers, viewers, and their privacy and rights in general, they're basically your only options and you may have to just put up with the downsides for now." Essentially going on to argue that more content creators will start posting on them when they see them as worth posting on, which would be when they have substantial enough userbases, and the prevalence of moderate and mainstream views would push away the extremists as has sometimes happened on other platforms, and that's generally how I lean right now too. Those also may not have been his exact words, it's been a little bit since I watched his video.

I would love if a leftist instance was created on PeerTube, heck I'd be happy with a moderate instance, but I have struggled so far to find one that seems what I at least would describe as well moderated.
