Over the past week or so there has been a serious spam problem hitting mastodon and rest of the fediverse especially misskey over on the japanese side of things and the story behind it is absolutely wild.

Vilian ,

you'll really are whining about the video, instead trying to help with the issue

Oh really and you must be the one doing all the work eh ?

Vilian ,

No, YouTube has a serious idiot commenter problem.

Both can be true.

Sure, but when the first claim comes from a sensationalist youtuber, its claim to veracity sort of loses weight.

Lol, if you think that absolutely open sign ups on instances isn't a problem, then thanks for advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions

Nice strawman argument, was that what I said? Nope.

Also, "advertising the bankruptcy of your opinions"? Go easy on the thesaurus, kid.

Go easy on the thesaurus, kid.

Always the hallmark of a real contender. Oh, did I say "hallmark"? Hope that doesn't cause you to stumble. "Stumble" means to trip while walking; in this case it's a metaphor for thinking.

Hope that was clear enough for you.

Nice strawman argument

Huh. Considering the primary point of the video was how open signups are bad, I don't know why you contradicted your comment on the other thread and said this video has no valid point.

So nice self-contradiction I guess?

he whines as he broadcasts from ad-riddled youtube

PlexSheep ,

Ads are just spam that someone pays for

Did you... watch the video? You act as if he's bashing the fediverse or isn't a strong supporter of it
