I don't think that UBI is the predominant reddit viewpoint either - I think that's just the subs you're in.

I'm Canadian too, and I certainly don't consider reddit as left of center on average. It's almost like 4chan lite.

But on that note, if you're looking for Canadian instances, there are a few good ones.
The obvious one is lemmy.ca, but the other (bigger?) one is sh.itjust.works which is bilingual and I think is québécois.
Presumably a Canadian instance would have relatively Canadian political leanings, although as has been said before, instance doesn't really matter.

The instance you're on only matters in so far as which other instances they've defederated.
You can probably find more centerist instances, but it doesn't really matter because your friend is probably just going to be in the same communities anyways.

I'm not really sure I'd call reddit left of center, though.

Just learned it was made by the Clearly Canadian folks. I suspect that I wouldn't like it as much anymore.

Beep, however, I imagine I'd still love.

That and Beep are on my list.

I suspect that I wouldn't actually like Orbitz now that I'm an adult and not impressed by little colorful blobs in my drink

Beep

Also Orbitz, but I feel like that wouldn't stand the test of time

Just learned its by the makers of Clearly Canadian, which would be on my list, except it came back as of a couple years ago.

I don't think it could.

The client doesn't have access to all the videos, it'll have to query the (distributed???) platform to find matching videos.
And the platform is gonna need to serve up some kind of metadata for the client to track (are hashtags enough???)
And the platform is gonna need to be keeping stats on the videos for the client to match against
And what would that query even look like? A gargantuan weighted map of hashtags? I can't imagine hashtags alone would be enough.

I mean I know it wasn't really funny... But a downvote? It was really so bad that it got a downvote?

I'm not even mad, just so so confused

I gotta pick up smoking so I can get me some of that lucrative asthma

Then I don't think you're worried about the money anymore
