Legitimately one of my favourite YouTube channels. Tech deep dives (generally on extremely esoteric topics), sarcasm, and interesting insights.

Alec is also (unsurprisingly) on the Fedi: https://mas.to/@TechConnectify

kind of.

He mostly left because of bullying. Just posting video updates and rare posts.

Who the fuck is bullying this guy? I will round up a goddamn posse, Alec is a treasure.

Fediverse being fediverse.

For large accounts it's a genuine toxic cesspit.

Scroll back to a year ago and you can regularly see posts from him where he calls people out.

small sample from just scrolling through:

But that's just the stuff he openly shows

Thats just social media.

Which is why social media shouldnt exist. cause its not good for anyones health.

How is this bullying not moderated? That just seems weird. I've always felt Mastodon kinda fails at moderation in this aspect. He should go to Lemmy instead.

Lemmy is bully central if you don’t just go with the echo chamber lol

Depends on what communities and instances you frequent I would say. You can find nicely moderated places if you care to look for them.
