It’s the latter.

The snowflakes rounding up people for holding up signs also think volunteers not actively promoting their views are engaged in civilization ending suppression of speech.

That's the most frustrating aspect. They act as if we've trampled on their rights, but all we're doing is conserving our own energy and not carrying water for their ideology.

Since when is anyone freely entitled to my time and attention?

> Since when is anyone freely entitled to my time and attention?

Funnily enough the same people say the same when it comes to pronouns and such. The right (if we can call them that) immediately copied, perfected and weaponized all the attention seeking and whining they've seen and complained about.

It's only hypocrisy when the accused actually does the thing they're asking others not to do.

As far as I can tell, there is no harassment of the OBS team and no demand that they support Rumble as a drop-in. After all, there are many other services they don't support. They are only criticizing the OBS team for making public statements to the effect that they are explicitly not adding Rumble to the list for political reasons.

But even beyond that, it is entirely fallacious to equate Rumble users with the "right wing", and especially not with some nebulous "they" who are interested in the issue. And the idea that making it easier to use a platform is inherently "carrying water for their ideology" is utterly absurd. (Not to mention that the overwhelming majority of them simply do not hold harmful beliefs on anything like the level ascribed to them; their actual beliefs are constantly and grossly misrepresented, leading to a high-profile assassination a bit over a year ago.)

I'm not strongly opposed to your point of view.

How about Truth Social?

I would be more inclined to consider that question, had my comment not been flagged for no reason.

What's "and such"?

I'm not that deep in the culture wars. I just know pronouns is not all that the so called right was whining about.

No aspect of that sentence reflects reality.

The maga idiots tried to get a TV stations license canceled for legal free speech. They hate free speech with a burning passion. I see them talk all the day of how "it is legal" that people of other faiths build religious structures on their own private property. They hate private property and the right to private property. They hate when foreign companies justly and fairly make better and cheaper products, they hate capitalism.

With more detail this time:

> The snowflakes

This is a subjective judgment, but I would say they are nothing of the sort.

> rounding up people for holding up signs

You first of all are not talking about the same people, and commit outgroup homogeneity bias. If we're going to play that game, then we could just as well talk about that one outgroup member who was shot and killed for talking calmly to college students (who had all freely volunteered to do so) and having a dissenting point of view. That death was celebrated by many people, surely at least some of whom are now upset about far milder and more justified actions.

But even then, the people "rounded up for holding up signs" were, in fact, not rounded up for holding up signs but for taking actions that directly impeded the job of those they were protesting. This is amply demonstrated by looking at the facts of each such case of "round-up"; along with noting the copious amount of people holding up signs in the background of every such video, against home no action was taken.

> also think volunteers not actively promoting their views

First off, supporting a streaming platform has nothing whatsoever to do with promoting any particular political view. This is again outgroup homogeneity bias.

Second, nothing of the sort is demanded. The volunteers in question are only being called out for explicitly citing political reasons for their rejection. (I looked up DHH's tweet, and saw that he was citing Lunduke to make the argument; and Lunduke is very explicit about this cause of grievance.)

> are engaged in civilization ending suppression of speech.

This is histrionic and does not bear any relationship to what the critics actually claim.

As far as I can tell, it's the latter option. Rumble has a whole section of their website explaining how to use OBS with it [0]. The complaints seem to be entirely based around Rumble not being available in a drop-down menu [1]. It's kind of pathetic honestly.

(Sorry for the X link, but that is the only place that I can actually find people complaining about this).

I may be completely stupid but these instructions by Rumble either completely unhelpful or something on my end isn't loading content in that site. But if that's the actual instructions to get OBS to stream to Rumble, I get why just upstreaming it would've been user-friendly.

But apparently I'm a fascist for this type of wrongthink.

What's confusing about using RTMP or a virtual camera? It's extremely straightforward. I genuinely do not understand how you could possibly need more instructions than this. Do you want screenshots or something?

Regardless, this just means that Rumble needs better documentation. It's clearly possible and fairly easy.

I think my issue is that I don't know Rumble Studio and expected OBS to be able to stream to it without, thus expecting some rtmp links + auth flow in the docs.

Should be as simple as copy pasting server url + credentials or streaming key. My interpretation is that documentation authors either considered it so simple that it's not worth clarifying or since they are pushing for their own software (rumble studio) they intentionally didn't explain it further to encourage people using their software directly without extra step of OBS.

Once you open corresponding panel in Rumble it shows you all the information you need to copy paste in single place with convenient copy to clipboard buttons.

Platforms with "builtin support" require same amount of configuration minus the server url. But since the server url is provided in the same place as stream key, copy pasting 2 instead of 1 value hardly makes a difference. It probably takes less time to copy server url than trying to find it in dropdown containing 70+ other services.

OBS should just do the maliciously compliant here and add the support but throw a little jab in the drop down menu by labeling it "Rumble - Fascists and lunatics only" or something like that.
