I was typing out in the comments that he should try nextcloud before I finished the video, and towards the end I saw that he was running Nextcloud. Fantastic
Is it though? I never paid any attention to him, so I only know that one time he made some kids make a sign with heil Hitler or something like that (which from what I’ve read was just a joke in bad taste, he isn’t a nazi or major racist). Otherwise, I haven’t heard anything bad about him, he was just never someone I cared to know more about and watch, seemed to be mostly for kids. Please, correct anything I’ve said if I’m wrong.
He has had some serious run ins with controversy like the bridge incident and a shooter co-opting the T-Series fake beef but beyond that it’s basically people reacting seriously to him aping Filthy Frank, in my opinion I think he’s made good enough on not shooting himself in the foot now, mostly probably cuz he’s a Dad now and trying to ape Filthy Frank is too much effort.
He got backlash from his own fans from all edgy and toxic jokes.
I remember some of his Indian fans are angry for his PewDiePie vs T-series stuff (T-series: Indian music company).
I think around 2019, he apologized and recognized all the edginess he did, and promised to do better.
For the last five years, all of his content are basically wholesome family stuff or creative activities. Even his recent art journey video are widely shared among young art communities that’s not even his fans.
Yeah this is why it’s so offputting seeing so much praise for him here. I don’t believe he’s ever outright apologized and owned up to what he’s said and done in the past (I could be wrong though?). Last I checked the dude was literally a neo nazi.
My wife was a PewDiePie fan from before the slur incident so I’ve loosely seen some of his content over the years. He’s apologized multiple times, and he’s shifted his style significantly multiple times since then.
Basically in the last few years he’s grown up a ton. He married his girlfriend of a decade or more after earlier refusing marriage, had a baby, emigrated to Japan and now posts tons of creative and day-in-the-life style vlogs
I really don’t get how so many people here are so happy that a Nazi is using Linux and doesn’t like Google anymore. That’s not the kind of clown I’d want representing or being a spokesperson for my interests and it’s really making me second guess the people here.
Edit: @nasi_goreng@lemmy.zip 's comment has provided info I didn’t have, and recontextualizes the attitudes here I wasn’t understanding, so now I get why there’s support for this.
Might wanna take your own advice. For example, instead of making a drive by shit post, you could have done what another commenter did and actually explain why people are on board with this guy. That person’s comment had me reconsider my position. Your comment just makes you look like an ass.
I’m loving Pewdie’s redemption arc
started with minecraft & redstone, now linux & degoogling, can we extrapolate that in some years pewd’s gonna start hrt lol
I was just thinking about this: more evidence of the Minecraft to Linux self hosting pipeline.
The programming socks will be the first sign.
Same, it feels surreal.

That’s going to be one long arc though

He’ll be crawling around xmpp chatrooms talking about anarchists soon.
He’s gonna discover Matrix and donate a mill cuz of the slow load times lmao
Let’s hope so.
What’s next, Open source electric car? Building and living in an Earth Ship?
Earth ships are so cool
has he stopped “accidentally” naziing?

I wasn’t aware of that, so thanks for the additional context!

he has. people just prefer to go on judging. how you supposed to feel good about yourself if the people you hate for hating stopped hating?
