This appears to be an argument against a position I wasn't taking. You just appear to be upset that alternative video streaming sites don't ban people you disagree with. Good luck with that.
Hey, you may been around longer than I have. Only had the internet since the mid 90s. So it depends on how you define "a few". It was a very different beast back then, and I for one miss the relative lack of concentrated corporate control and mandatory advertiser-friendliness.
I chalk that up to said concentrated corporate control and mandatory advertiser-friendliness, but then I don't think it's become a shithole because people I disagree with also have a voice, but because of aggressive monetization and the enshittification that that inevitably entails.
No, you are well understood. You are opposed to alternative video platforms (and apparently some other unnamed Lemmy instance) because those things do not necessarily reinforce your echo chamber, and you consider that reinforcement a vital feature. I'm waaay over on the far end of the spectrum, and chose my instance specifically because they do not defederate, they keep everything available and leave it up to the user to decide what they do or do not wish to see (and I to date have nothing blocked - no users, no communities, no servers).
