I would never trust a billionaire to do anything for us. If he doesn't just carve out an exception for only people like himself at first, he'll still lobby to have new restrictions on sharing if they threaten his business model.

It'll end up being a back-and-forth between him and the IP companies, so if he has enough leverage, they'll just find a way to give him what he wants without doing so for regular folks.

Very cool! For the user scores, are you using monthly active users, total registered users, or something else?

Thanks for this list! There are some fun suggestions here that'll help me get into peertube, but Russel Brand is a conspiracy theorist and far-right pundit, recently charged with rape & sexual assault. Suggesting you delete him from this list.

Haha I sympathize. Glad to help!

There's also this mega list that overall leans libertarian-socialist, but contains authors from many perspectives

The Srsly Wrong podcast mixes and explains ideas about socialism (from a number of sources) in a lighthearted way. Use the suggestions in the "Start Here" sidebar on their site.

Anark is an anarchist youtuber, with clear explanations of ideas, strategies, and concepts for anarchist and libertarian-socialist (not at all like right wing "libertarians") forms of socialism. He disagrees heavily with authoritarian socialists (who are apparently a big part of lemmy.ml).

Zoe Baker is a youtuber who is a PhD-level scholar of anarchism, who also has a lot of videos about Marx's thought.

It's just an excuse. They want to get rid of him because they don't like his politics and he's an activist. Whether the state categorizes you as a citizen, resident, tourist, undocumented, etc. should have nothing to do with your right to speak out.

but please don't
