Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Psychologist goes through a meta-analysis that’s been done about the efficacy of trigger warnings. Seems like they have a bit of an axe to grind about their… horror writing career(?) but thought it was interesting. Thoughts?

"trigger warnings don't work" is a blatantly impossible statement, their purpose is to prevent people from being exposed to further content that triggers trauma or other mental health issues, the only way they wouldn't work is if people were copy pasting the entire contents of what they're doing a warning about into the warning itself

Yeah that’s how I understood the studies, they force you to ignore the warning

Apparently the study counted people dropping out of the study as choosing not to view the content, and used the what would obviously be low amount of dropouts as "proof" that it doesn't prevent people from viewing it

The study seems to imply that the trigger warning itself is triggering

Which is false if you've ever had a serious trigger, it's specifics that get you
