If Reddit has to pay to maintain servers that has useless content or content that drives people away, they lose money. Imagine many people uploading only random noise, the company would lose lots of money. They would have to hire people to detect and remove noise or useless videos, because hosting costs money and that kind of content drives people away.
I can make color noise with ffmpeg -f rawvideo -video_size 1280x720 -pixel_format yuv420p -framerate 30 -i /dev/urandom -ar 48000 -ac 2 -f s16le -i /dev/urandom -codec:a copy -t 5 color-noise.mov

Who decides what's fake?
You can also create color noise 🌈:
ffmpeg -f rawvideo -video_size 1280x720 -pixel_format yuv420p -framerate 30 -i /dev/urandom -ar 48000 -ac 2 -f s16le -i /dev/urandom -codec:a copy -t 5 color-noise.mov
my website, mail server... using free software, of course
How will they pay all those "free weapons"?
Because we wanted people to actually contribute.
That's bullshit, Weblate projects have plenty of contributions. See article It is important for free software to use free software infrastructure.
Submit a pull request to GitLab, Codeberg, or Gitea then.
The official website links to GitHub, so you're officially endorsing a privacy-invasive, non-free service. You just mirror it on Gitea, and there is no option there to send a pull request...
We haven’t written any hardware recommendations. https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/issues/1899
The website says: "If you're looking for a specific solution to something, these are the hardware and software tools we recommend in a variety of categories".
Anyways, be constructive in the future, or leave.
So you're the dictator who decides what's constructive and what's not?
The official website Joinmastodon is proprietary. I don't like Eugen Rochko. I made a pull request and submitted an issue, but I was completely ignored. They also use proprietary software for translations.
I don't think you should upload those to a forum called 1GBVidsOfRandomNoise. If Reddit finds out, it would be easy for them to remove all videos from the forum. Instead, you want to create many small forums that do not attract attention or upload the videos to your profile. The same with accounts, if you upload 100 random noise with one account, when they delete that account, the damage would be reversed. It would be better to do that with 10 different accounts (if they find and delete one, the other 9 might survice if they are unnoticed).
