How overloaded would the Tankie Tube server(s?) get if a popular content creator like Rathbone migrated to us instead?
(hexbear.net)
After his TikTok account was deleted and his YouTube channel de-monetised, pro-Palestine content creator Rathbone migrated to right-wing Rumble. Seems like an odd choice based strictly on ideology, and I figure it's probably only a matter of time before Rumble kicks him too, simply on the Palestine question alone.
So that begs the question - how capable is Tankie Tube of absorbing a popular content creator? Assuming this is going to continue to happen more and more (Hasanabi seems like he's on the Twitch chopping block at this very moment).
Paging @TankieTanuki@hexbear.net
Rathbone recently went on InfoWars and then him and his partner started a gross mud-slinging campaign against a few other content creators that rightfully called him out for it. Him, his partner (comradebaddie), and any creator friends still in his circle (buddyhead) are not comrades and we should not be making space for them.
Also, the fact that this went down so suddenly (although I didn't follow him much, so I idk if there were more signs) is a good lesson in why we should be much more critical of content creators, especially when they are not explicitly and demonstrably principled Marxist/dialectical materialists and are growing to a size where they are strongly financially incentivized to pivot to reactionary politics.
