Just got a Community Guidelines strike on YouTube for talking about NewPipe. The free and open source video player. Sigh...
@kiri The closest thing I could find in the guidelines was "Hacking Apps".
@art Embrace your technocratic overlords
@art someone should write to whatever legislators are investigating google and youtube about it
@art Conversely, when I found out how well NewPipe worked with TILvids (my PeerTube instance), I felt compelled to make a video showing how to use it, to share with the community!

Fuck YouTube. They banned my decade-long and in-good-standing account (without any previous warnings or violations on it, I might add) about a month ago, because I commented that trans women are men once on a random radfem video. They said I was posting hate speech.
@Unairedspecifics
In truth, the winning part does take some time :-)
They laughed at ppl like me for using linux in '94.
Today anyone with any kind of computer touches linux every day. Sometimes victory doesn't look exactly as imagined...
@art @bob
@art Thanks for posting your videos on peertube as well. In the end, non-centralized platforms are probably our only way to escape corporate tyranny. Keep up the good work!
@art
Sorry can't read that, on an 5 inch screen😔

@stringlapse
Sorry, I can't understand Your problem.
I've commented a toot from, @art, that can read any on the screenshot on a 5 inch display ?
@art
@art
yeah youtubes community guidelines are a bit fuzzy, in 2019 a video of some friends was banned in which they have just read text from the german constitution! 😉
@art
If it makes you feel better, the attention on this post helped me find this cool new tool.
@art did you considered moving to peertube yet?
@art
"Dangerous" content to whom? Only to Google's monopoly, it seems.
Oh wait :O
@art I got the same strike for a video on youtube-dl not too long ago. So did DenshiVideo. Really annoying they seem to be targetting small YouTube video creators but leave larger people’s videos up. Harmful or dangerous content includes videos that break their terms of service.
@art this seems to be a mostly automated strike spree
@art
I try to use newpipe, but it doesn't works with youtube.
@art So harmful (to YouTube's bottom line)
@art Dissent shall not be tolerated. Neither will competition 
Promoting an alternative platform or tool is against YouTube's guidelines.
Every person who say "Watch my stream on Twitch", "I am on LBRY", "Join our Zoom conference at 7pm Pacific time" or similar things to inform people about a tool or platform that is competitor of Google is violating the guidelines.
It is so sad that to inform people about better alternatives, we should use their censored platform ☹️
@art
@Mae lol no...
@art
I guess they're not big on competition.
@art Oh wow *slow claps*👏 ... It this point I am not even surprised those basters are nothing but fucking clowns just because its not made from them the consider it as a threat unbelievable! damn bastard's people got to move over to peer tube as alternative because why the fuck would anybody has to deal with this crap😠
@art "Harmful or dangerous content"? *stares*
@art
I see why Google took away their 'Don't Be Evil' motto. What about free speech and freedom of choice? YouTube are acting like Nazis.
@art "Harmful or dangerous content" is cropospeak for "competence", huh?
Time to file anti competition strike on google boi ,it's an opportunity to earn law suit moneh
Definitely file an appeal. This looks like a neural net screwup.
@art Gotta love the specificity of it. Like "Your video doesn't comply with *something* in here. Good luck finding any concrete info on what it is that you did, though!" :/
