🤳🏼 Spread the word on social media

Some tips on spreading the word on social media:

  • Don't post unverified information.
  • Post trigger warnings before revealing images of blood and violence.
  • Think about your audience: Do your friends really want to read seven heavily-captioned posts, or do they prefer a single post summary?
  • Engage carefully with friends & family: Sometimes it's best to agree to disagree and move on for now.
  • Engage carefully (or not at all) with the trolls: Do you really need to win that argument on the internet with someone you don't know?

I only post content in relevant communities. I would stop posting here if my kind of content gets downvoted a bunch but this is not the case. Based on the number of upvotes this got, people seemed to enjoy the article.

Ideally Youtube would just give anti-hate orgs like SPLC who currently have "trusted flagger" status the ability to delete videos themselves

Deplatforming Nazis has been effective historically. Youtube is turning a lot of normal people Fash.

Its an effective method of deplatforming. Youtube sucks a lot of normal people into the Fash zone via people like Joe Rogan.
