Mental Outlaw just made a video about Lemmy

The only video I watched of him was about sudo being “insecure, bloated, useless” and telling people to download a port of doas uploaded by some random user on GitHub… so you’d get 2 surfaces of attacks now, one which is definitely not being fixed as quickly.

I feel like that's the case with most tech expert channels. I'd even say Mental Outlaw is relatively mild compared to Distrotube ("if you support open-source, you should also support guns") and especially Luke Smith (holy shit, where do I even begin).

I watch them because their expertise in FOSS technologies is beyond question, but that is where my trust in them ends.

His comment base seems to be populated en masse by hardcore antisemites even off odysee, which he has literally never addresses. His content is cool sometimes, but it's just.... uhhhh. yeah......

The right sort of attention matters. It’d be nice to have a larger platform, but the growth’s quality is incredibly important.
