ZOOM and all proctoring software used by colleges and schools are effectively proper malware, and if they aren't, the stuff they do around privacy and tracking probably rivals it. Didn't stick around ZOOM for very long, but when I did they were making up lies about E2EE being implemented when it in fact hadn't actually been implemented.
I've been tracking the Fediverse loosely since stumbling into StatusNet and OStatus in 2011. To see the fediverse alive and well after being away for so long makes me very happy, though I don't share the same political opinions as many of the people here.
That said, I'd argue there needs to be a way to spin up PeerTube and educate the masses on how to do that instead of starting a YouTube channel.

Using a friend's instance now, but plan to create my own instance here soon as well. Excited to see the reddit influx, I've been waiting for over 10 years to see something like this happen, tracking federation since StatusNet
