[foodyum]

Rumble has found the perfect community to not only live but thrive.
Folks here absolutely love the platform, love what they stand for, are proud to be a home of rumble.

It's a platform. Like Youtube. Are they also afraid of YouTube???

People really should be concerned about monopolies like Meta, Google, Micro, etc, but they're not because they seems to be in the leftist tent as far as I can see.

I don't know anyone who is a fan of a particular platform. It'd be like saying, magazines are awesome!! I only read magazines because every magazine is true and I support any content that is published in magazines.

People look at content, not platforms.

Equally disturbing that people STILL cannot understand this difference.

As well as the fact that people are terrified to make their own decisions regarding ideas. They would prefer the platform choose for them.

What's hilarious is all that content was on YouTube before YouTube starting censoring.

Somehow YouTube was awesome in spite of the content. But if that formerly YouTube content is on another platform THAT platform is [fill in the blank].

It's idiotic mental gymnastics.

funny, I thought platforms can influence content

You seem to really like it and happy to have it in your community
Are you a fan?

I personally am not a fan of that particular platform. Don't like the stories they cover or present on their front page. don't like their spin.
I do look at the platforms first a an initial cut - for example I won't watch cable channel newsmax on my tv.
Same thing with infowars or brietbart on the internet.
Others love the news that they get from those outlets.
To each is own.

Some allow more fake news than others.
Some allow the Chinese or Russian government or right wing supremist to report their news as they "see it"
Some allow hate speech, some allow a lot of hate speech.
It is all out there for you to read about as much as you want.

Who is my community?

Where have I ever stated that I like Rumble?

Where have I ever stated that I am "happy" about Rumble?

You are massively projecting. Massively. It's. A. Platform. It's doesn't spin anything. It's A Platform.

Do you love radio stations? Think every radio station awesome? Trust EVERYTHING you hear on radio stations because, hey, radio stations all use the same platform so everything you hear on ANY radio studio is true?

Again: It's. A. Platform.


I am no more a "fan" of Rumble, than I am a "fan" of YouTube. Both are platforms. That's it. I do appreciate the fact that a far as I can tell Rumble doesn't censor. At least I haven't heard that it does.

Ah, OK.

You want a platform to vet your information for you using whatever algorithm they choose.

I prefer to make those decisions for myself. I don't want anyone or any algorithm telling me what I can or cannot read, listen to, or watch. I can make my own decisions. I'm not afraid of information.
