If they get this, I'm gonna make s fortune ripping the copyright protection off stuff so that I can sell products as my own.

I would like to create a site that that allows people to select a category and/or a sub-category and invite people to join and partake in something for a limited time period determined by the OP, but also allowing other users to suggest alternative options as a votable option.

I have no idea where to start with any of this.

Is it just forum software that I should be looking at, and could anyone recommend one if it is. Also how much should I be looking at to begin with?

EDIT - Thanks everyone, all good options to look at. I am going to try a Lemmy Sub, as that seems to be the most favoured answer by users. Hopefully I will get to grips with it. 🙂

I'm surprised anyone uses Google services considering how they infiltrate your privacy.

A Google VPN is as private to me as giving a six year old a cardboard box and asking them but to look inside.

I haven't ever used it, never signed a petition, but isn't change.org only about petitions? I can kinda see their reasoning.. They may even have had their hand forced to do it.

Loads of people who want their way probably signed up with tons of accounts to skew the results. If it's going to work, I guess they need to be able to show that they're legit, out at least that change.org are doing their best to make it that they are.

It's easy to set up one gmail account for example and use it a million times with moving a dot throughout the name or putting a plus sign and anything after the username but before the @ symbol.

To be fair, being called anti-semitic by a bunch of hate filled genocidal Nazis isn't really the worst thing in the world. It's kind of like Samuel Little calling somebody a misogynistic bully.

Getting thumped because of 4 injuries and 5 players refusing to play against Israel. A boycott would have achieved a lot more. The fine would be nothing compared to the attention it would have received.

Doc Martens are not a good buy for a while now. Standards of quality have dropped loads and my nephew has had two pairs fall apart from the DM store in the last 8 months. Red Wing, Thorogood, Solovair among others, but avoid Doc Martens when buying for life.

Definitely not blocking here.. but.. I have to ask. Which takes precedence, YouTube's T&C's or EU law?

Whatever happened to zeronet? Wasn't that supposed to do that with many services as well as the whole thing in general?

I'm guessing it just never got enough users.

Edit - link https://zeronet.io

What's realistically the closest to YouTube today? Like Lemmy, small acorns need bigger communities 😁 Slow, but it'll happen. It's also not a bad thing to have people used to switching platforms every x amount of years. That aside, does a VPN work, or Newpipe?

I'm in EU, not getting any ads yet on Firefox or Newpipe.

There is an English, Scottish and Welsh flag at the bottom IDK if there is one for The Isle of Man, Jersey islands etc..

This can only be a bad thing.

They will win and like live nation, will merge with more well placed companies until they are printing their own money.

So they want help stealing back the stuff that they stole in the first place.

Many countries would probably pay the 'thieves' to have them back where they belong.
