That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I don't think Lemmy users tend to have a Google account to comment on YouTube videos with.
Love it or hate it - YouTube is still the largest and best video platform out there. It doesn't matter how "good" any other platforms are if they don't have the content and creators. I'm all for posting on other platforms in addition to YouTube, but you can't just ignore something like YT.
I didn't say it wasn't relevant or useful.
Did you reply to the wrong comment?
Fair. You just don't like it huh? I actually hate the fact I can't add a custom thumbnail to my video without verifying my phone number first. Like wtf, man can't have more than 2 channels these days...
What makes you think that?
I just wanted to point out that many users on lemmy probably don't have a google account for reasons very similar to those that made them come to the fediverse in the first place.
You know you can watch videos on youtube without being signed in, right?
Fair, fair. I think I just assumed things - wrongly.
I fully disagree with that statement.
In most of the world, nearly everyone has a smartphone. Within that, there are 2 main options - Apple, or one derived from Google's Android. Within the latter, you run the stock OS, which effectively requires a Google account, or you can run a custom OS. The custom OS also requires a Google account for anything resembling the usual functionality of a smartphone.
I'm aware that De-Google movements are out there, but that's why it's such a big deal. It's hard to run an Android-based device without a Google account and still have it do what you need/want. And while Lemmy's user base probably has a higher percentage than average, it's still going to be a low percentage.
I could totally be wrong, yeah. It was just an assumption I made, but even on Lemmy I spend my time in a pretty niche bubble. Who knows?
I upload Videos to YouTube...
This just seems like a willfully dumb thing to think.
I was required to have a Google email for high school in some cases in the US, as some of my teachers would post projects and assignments on Google Docs.
This was before computers were basically a requirement in the classroom so I can only imagine what digital identity kids "need" nowadays for school.
