I prefer pihole as it blocks most ads and trackers across my LAN. When I saw hours much crap was being tracked on my “smart TV” I disconnected it immediately. When I look at the stats every once in a while I am amazed. Last night I was going all gung hoe at making sure everything on canyoublockit.com.

I also am very proud to say that I do not see most of the junk mail sent to me, without using a junk mail filter.

Okay but why aren’t you using an adblocker?

Because I’m just using plain old YouTube app on my pixel phone.

Same I have reported a few of them already, YouTube is very slow to do anything about stuff like this.

Deadnaming a trans person is equivalent to telling them they are not who they say they are. If you deadname a trans woman as some sorta “gotcha” because they disagree with you, even if their rhetoric and actions harm the very community they’re a part of, that’s not far off from being the type to say “YWNBAW”.

Their name is inherently connected to their identity. It’s one thing to call Caitlyn some smarmy Trump-esque name like “kookie Caitlyn”, or some other feminine name that isn’t hers to mock her like “Candace” or “Karen”, but in using her birth name/deadname, you are basically telling a trans person that their identity as their gender is invalid, and that they are only seen as the gender they identify with when they agree with you.

Instead of saying “you will never be a woman”, it says “you are only a woman when I feel like you deserve to be one”.

Kaitlyn supports trans rights for herself, nobody else matters to her. So she deserves no respect at all. I won’t deadname her but that is my choice. She is a dumbfuck selfish cunt and that cuntiness knows no gender.

Takes less than five minutes to mod your existing YT app to block ads (and sponsor segments). But if you don’t want to even do that then just PM me and I’ll build the apk for you and send it.

You don’t have to waste your life away on ads; there is a better way.

I used pi-hole for a long time but then simplified by using Unbound blocklists on my OPNsense router. These days there are a few different options for network-wide ad blocking.

Same I have reported a few of them already, YouTube is very slow to do anything about stuff like this.

I am aware that there are other whole LAN blockers I hope I didn’t come off as saying pihole was the only option, or even the best for everyone.

Or just Firefox + UBO

On a side note, Kyle from Secular Talk is based and tells like it is. Primarily grass roots funded and has been pushing candid leftist talking points for a long time. I always recommend him for coverage of US politics when I get a chance.

Okay, so let’s take that same logic and apply it elsewhere.

Kanye West is an out and proud nazi. Do I have the right then to call him the hard r because I disagree with him?

Thing is that they also just keep making new accounts too.

So what you’re saying is that basic human rights are conditional?

I can disagree with Caitlyn Jenner for taking the side of people actively campaigning against the trans community while also acknowledging that she deserves to be called the name she identifies with.

What message does this send to trans people? It says that their bare basics rights are conditional based on what they believe. A trans man can watch and follow the values of Andrew Tate, and with that fact I can call his values gross while also affording him basic human rights in addressing him by his name and using his correct pronouns. These are non-negotiable, and acting like they are plays into right-wing narratives both about trans people, and those who are left-wing.

If you believe he is then do what you feel is real. I’m not the arbitrator of your speech.
