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.

Yeah. She goes into this a lot in the video and tbh I fluctuate a lot on how I'd handle the situation if truly given the power to decide the sentence of my abusers. It would really be context dependent for me. I don't want to do that now due to how awful the system treats victims. Currently I think vigilante justice to kill them is the only way to "resolve" this issue in our current society, but thats not to say something could be better.
With prison abolition, its not necessarily against 'separating someone from society'. Its more that prison itself is a threat for more violence to victims in many cases (for example, vigilante justice against your rapist will send you there to be further raped). If it were a fairly normal community, except it is separated from society, that is far more acceptable I think. Like right now, if you speed too much or steal or something you can get thrown in the same jail with a bunch of pedophiles. All that means is you are likely to become a victim yourself.
Yea, obviously vigilante justice comes with issues.
But that's... Imprisoning them? If we trap abusers in a place they can't leave, that's a prison.
Yes, and I don't want such people sent to prison. Or speeders, or drug "crimes" or probably other things. But I still think we need to remove people from others, and I suppose a prison is less severe then just killing 'em.
But you do need to make sure they can't leave, physically. How would that not be a prison? I mean we could improve on our current prisons a lot, and should. But when I start imagining how you would actually, physically keep potentially dangerous people away from society...
Also I just don't think child abusers deserve that.
Yeah, I guess thats true, but I feel like its a semantics thing and there needs to be a better word than 'reform' or 'prison abolition'. Restorative justice feels nice at least
