I don’t particularly watch/like PewDiePie, but he is joining the train and spreading the word, which is awesome. He is self hosting services and using GrapheneOS now.

    I’m not into drama in general, and those are serious allegations. He sure had questionable stuff going on, but considering him being an actual nazi had always seemed far off to me, but we’ll never know.

    This guy rambling about degoogling and GrapheneOS, to an audience (700k views after 3h) that surely has nothing to do with that, is just great news to me as of now.

      No one ever gets to be a Nazi “ironically” - pretend to be a Nazi, and you’re a Nazi. He could agree with me on a dozen issues, and he’d still be a Nazi (and it might make me question that much agreement). Seems awfully convenient all these recent forays into Linux and talking about degoogling - almost like after years of keeping a lower profile, he and his team are trying really hard to rehabilitate his public image.

      This isn’t YouTuber “drama” - this is a guy who repeatedly engaged in very public examples of bigotry and parroting Nazi symbols and salutes. So yeah - we do in fact know.

        The guy is trying to rehabilitate his public image by talking about a niche nerd stuff??? It doesn’t make any sense

          It won’t. Lemmy users don’t understand they are in an echo chamber and isolated from common sense. They think foss is some click bait genuinely disconnected people.

          This guy still crying about this. Did he show off the bigotry or the software? Answer the question and no ifs and buts

        By that logic then I’m literally a super hero every time I tie a blanket around my neck and pretend to fly.
