This person might have been on the chopping block anyway because I imagine companies are now probably looking for opportunities to purge/downsize their DEI staff, usually starting with senior management because it's easier to promote eager-to-please newblood who won't question the change in mission statement.

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.

Yeah you can see it was never about free speech or having convictions otherwise the right wouldn't care, it was payback for "cancel culture" tit for tat.
Do you think they wouldn’t be doing this if not for “cancel culture?” Does it take a liberal action for the fascist reaction?
Yeah I mean regardless they were going to circle the wagons, but I'm saying this plays a huge part in it.
Genuinely curious: How is this not cancel culture? Is it not the exact same thing?
maybe i'm just forgetting but who was canceled on the right? feel like they're the ones who have made most of it
are we sure this guy wasn't working for the part of Microsoft that was directly aiding the IDF
that would be a wild plot twist
Yeah, on one hand, 
But, why was this person apart of Genocide Co. in the first place? It sucks that they got fired for posting something based, but they got fired from fucking Microsoft. Fucking Microsoft. And, they also talk about building / leading(?) the DEI Department, which would be (arguably) engaging in pinkwashing for Microsoft.
Fuck Microsoft, but this person also decided to work at Microsoft, so... I don't know, what's the Hexbear party line on "working for huge corporations actively abetting genocide, even if you do questionably good (DEI) work"? I'm pretty sure it's "fuck you" but I wanna be sure.
I don't think this matters enough to form a line on tbh
A company doing standard capitalism and protecting its profit margins by firing someone who could drive away customers is what the libertarians would call "voting with your wallet" and I don't see him being aware enough to blame capitalism. Probably because capitalism is absolutely fine while you're working and get paychecks from one of the main arms of the surveillance-industrial complex that abets genocides among a ton of other shit.
He's a worker however, I seriously feel for him but complaining on bluesky and threads about it instead of unionizing is exactly the thing that keeps us all in the gutter.
this is a satire account I doubt he actually works at MSOFT
I made some stupid comments about Charlie Kirk
Were the comments that he was an excellent debater or always argued in good faith?
