[PEERTUBE](https://video.the-nutrivore.social/a/nick/video-channels)
I’m transitioning my video content from YouTube to my self-hosted PeerTube instance, because I strongly believe in freedom of speech, copyleft, and digital autonomy. YouTube has proven unreliable due to both censorship and copyright strikes levied against my channel. This shift allows me to better control my content and avoid these silly pitfalls.
Full-length videos are now exclusively available on PeerTube, while YouTube will only host clips. By registering on PeerTube and subscribing to my channels, you’ll have access to all content. Just be sure to enable email notifications to be alerted of new uploads. I believe that those who are truly fans of my work and want the best experience possible will see this as a positive change.
Recommended Clients: Unfortunately, I can't recommend any mobile clients for PeerTube at this time. They're all trash. Please use your browser, either on your mobile device or personal computer.
[MASTODON](https://the-nutrivore.social)
Microblogging will now be posted to my own self-hosted Mastodon instance. I've kinda grown tired of microblogging on X, where political correctness and unclear ban policies force me to constantly self-censor. I considered and ultimately rejected several alternative platforms. Eventually, I realized the solution to this problem is to simply self-host my own space―somewhere where I can be myself and speak as I please. And I recently obtained the necessary infrastructure to do this.
This instance is 100% mine, and I can't be censored or fucked with there. I invite everyone who values my content and interactions to follow me on this new platform (whether you agree with my views or not). Just make an account on another instance (like Mastodon.social), follow me, and turn on notifications.

[DISCORD](https://discord.gg/eeYQ2wJknS)
The Nutrivore Discord server is an evidence-based community dedicated to debunking pseudoscience, especially in the fields of nutrition, health and fitness. Casual discourse is welcome, and includes topics such as cooking, gaming, technology, and more. Current members span many disciplines and include both students and professionals, all levels of interest and expertise are welcome.
The Discord server is not explicitly a debate server. However, we strongly encourage that disagreements be resolved using debate (preferably verbal), as long as it is conducted respectfully and in good faith. Though we also firmly believe that shaming sophistry and bad faith behaviour is a net good overall. The Discord server is planned to be replaced with a Matrix server in future.

[LIBERAPAY](https://liberapay.com/TheNutrivore)
I'm transitioning from Patreon to LiberaPay, because it is free, open source, and 100% your patronage goes to me and not some corporation. By supporting me on LiberaPay, you help to keep my platform online and active. However, unlike Patreon, LiberaPay is not a paywall service. You don't get access to exclusive content via LiberaPay by becoming a patron. That isn't to say that LiberaPay patrons wouldn't be able to get exclusive content through other means— it just means that such content isn't delivered through the LiberaPay platform itself.

# WELCOME!
Welcome to The Nutrivore Mastodon instance! We are an evidence-based community, passionately run by [Nick Hiebert](https://www.the-nutrivore.com/), dedicated to debunking health and nutrition-related pseudoscience, and cultivating insightful philosophical discussions pertaining to topics like veganism and science. We also welcome casual discourse on a wide array of topics, including cooking, gaming, technology, and more. All levels of knowledge and interest are encouraged to engage!
While we are not specifically a debate instance, we advocate for resolving disagreements through respectful, good-faith verbal debate. For now, please take verbal debates to [The Nutrivore Discord server](https://discord.com/invite/YrcEvgRTqy) until we deploy a better, free, and open-source solution. We strongly believe in freedom of speech and digital autonomy, and this instance was created in response to the enshittification of [X (formerly Twitter)](https://x.com/).
We understand and are sensitive to the fact that philosophical conversations can sometimes stray into uncomfortable territory that might appear odd or even offensive to some. You can trust the mod team to fairly appraise all reports of abuse, and you needn't worry about being unfairly banned for engaging in good faith, philosophical discourse on this server. Though we do ask that you do not abuse our leniency with overtly grotesque dialogue just for the sake of it. Let's not make anti-censorship synonymous with vulgarity, please.
---
# ADDENDUM
• **Be respectful!** Please refrain from abusive behaviour. While mocking and/or shaming sophistry is permitted, behaviour that is consistently rude, belligerent, or obnoxious may result in being muted or banned. Be cognizant of the fact that despite our commitment to anti-censorship, there's no reason why we should tolerant abusive behaviour in our own home.
• **Back it up!** All empirical claims must be supported by empirical evidence upon reasonable request. Empirical claims regarding health and nutrition are no exception. If you make an empirical claim, back it up. Consistently failing to support empirical claims will be considered abusive behaviour and may result in you being banned.
• **Don't dodge!** Be aware that voice chat is the preferred debate medium on this instance. While nobody is obligated to engage in voice debate, we ask that if you do not have a legitimate reason for avoiding voice debate when challenged, you should also refrain from making the sorts of claims that led to the challenge to begin with. Once someone has retracted a claim, continuing to invite them to debate the retracted claim will be considered abusive behaviour and may result in you being banned.
• **Support us!** This instance costs time and money to run. If you wish to help support the instance, consider pledging to the admin. Of course, [LiberaPay](https://liberapay.com/TheNutrivore/) is the preferred donation platform, as it is non-profit, free to use, and open-source. However, [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/thenutrivore), [PayPal](https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/TheNutrivore), and [YouTube Membership](https://www.youtube.com/@TheNutrivore/join) are also options. Alternatively, if a crypto donation option is preferred, the admin also accepts [Cardano](https://handle.me/thenutrivore).
• **PS.** If you feel as though you or someone else has been unfairly banned, the admin can be contacted at thenutrivore@the-nutrivore.social, and you're welcome to plead your case. Don't be shy!
---
# RULES
No spamming or excessive @-mentions: Avoid flooding the instance with repetitive messages or tagging multiple users unnecessarily. Respect everyone's time and attention.
No circumventing bans with sock accounts: If you're banned, do not create or use alternate accounts to rejoin the instance. Respect the consequences of your actions.
No doxing or posting others' private information: Protect everyone's privacy. Do not share personal information without consent.
No illegal or profoundly distasteful posts or activity: Abide by the law and maintain a respectful environment. Avoid sharing content that is illegal or grossly inappropriate.

No harassing or discriminating against other members: Treat everyone with respect. Harassment or discrimination based on any attribute is strictly prohibited.
No complaining about moderator decisions in the server: Respect moderator decisions. If you have concerns, address them privately with the moderators or admins.
No racial/sexual/anti-intellectual slurs: Slurs and derogatory comments that are unwelcome to the recipient are not tolerated.
Don't waste the admin's or the moderation staff's time: Posting low-value garbage that is specifically designed to annoy or disrupt the admin or the mods may result in your account being frozen or banned.

Custom NixOS Builds
$40/hr
NixOS has become popular in my community, with many people choosing to explore it over Windows, MacOS, and other Linux distributions.

So, to fast-track newcomers and to make my life a little bit easier for both of us, I'm offering to build custom NixOS configurations for interested clients.

# Support
[LIBERAPAY](https://www.the-nutrivore.com/contact)
Fee: 0%
A free and open source recurring donation platform focused on privacy and transparency. It allows supporters to set up weekly donations to creators and projects. It is my preferred patronage option, as creators are not charged any fees for transacting on their platform.
[PATREON](https://www.the-nutrivore.com/contact)
Fee: 5%
A membership platform that allows creators to receive ongoing financial support from patrons in exchange for exclusive content and perks. It provides tools for managing patron relationships but takes a cut of earnings.
[PAYPAL](https://www.the-nutrivore.com/contact)
Fee: 1%
A widely-used digital payment service that enables easy one-time or recurring donations. It offers buyer and seller protections but takes a percentage fee on transactions. It is not among my most preferred payment platforms, but I understand that it is familiar and favoured by many.
[KO-FI](https://www.the-nutrivore.com/contact)
Fee: 5%
A creator-friendly platform for receiving one-time and monthly donations, with an emphasis on simplicity and low fees. It allows creators to offer digital downloads and commissions to supporters. One of my least preferred options, as the fees can be high.
[CARDANO](https://www.the-nutrivore.com/contact)
Fee: 0.17 ADA
A blockchain platform that enables peer-to-peer donations using its native cryptocurrency ADA. It offers fast and low-cost transactions but requires users to be familiar with cryptocurrency wallets and exchanges. Not my first choice, but if you prefer crypto this is what I take.
