Eh, it's no lemmygrad

YouTube has "channels"

That's exactly what we do in Italy. Call it Piaggio Ape and you'll get quite a few puzzled stares.

Funniest thing is they have a page for alternatives to their own site

Could be true from anon's perspective, it's just the dealer who lied or fried his brain and couldn't recall correctly

Tuk tuk? Don't you disrespect the Ape Piaggio!

Which is surprisingly subtle on the part of the general public

Yeah singing is terrible for driving... It's much better to be bored to sleep

I think you're looking for a different type of community then, like an image board.

If I vote something I'm expressing my opinion just like I would with comment, and those are not anonymous.
I get that people are worried about griefers and psychos, but anonymity is just a (poor) cure for the symptoms, not for the disease; users who don't behave should be banned, and if their instance turns out to be a detriment to the community, they should be defederated.

The anonymity we should ensure is the one of the person behind the username, to avoid doxxing and cyber-bullying.

The reason the rich are rich is that they extract value from others' work. Everything else is just a bonus.
