Hey, I will write something more later, but we *will* be having @publicvoit on the 8am UTC Sunday #peertube #live #lispyGopherClimate
on the topic of #emacs #orgmode (vs #markdown )
https://karl-voit.at/2025/08/17/Markdown-disaster/
Comments and questions welcome here (especially if you are in the Americas, and will thus be asleep for the live version).
This is going to sound bad, because I literally run and maintain @spectra, but the main thing I watch on #PeerTube at this point is just @sqhistorian. He’s really funny, and hits all the right notes for my love of 2D point-and-click adventure games, crass humor, and the love/hate relationship that comes from being a Sierra adventure game player.
🥳 Watch @zalasur live NOW on PeerTube: https://peertube.zalasur.media/videos/watch/3 🥳

The goblins have arrived and they have requested a parley. I said I would agree but only if I could first consult with the Mind Goblin. The resulting exchange confused them because apparently goblins are sterile and therefore have no concept of "deez nuts". Oh well, time to put them through the grinder.
Come watch me on #Owncast or #PeerTube!

#peertube (imo) should have a lot more ‘shoutout’ style videos, unless there isn’t that much content there in the first place…
Anyone know of some active #maker (s) on any PeerTube instances?
Alternatively, some good hashtags to search through re: hobby electronics or something along the lines of that. Anything interesting/informative would do I suppose.
Mais que vois-je dans le flux RSS de l'instance #peertube de @passageenseine ? Des vidéos de passage en steir Vais pouvoir rattraper ce que j'ai manqué (vacances en famille déconnectée)

Yeah, that's what I mean by #PeerTube being a backup for Youtubers instead of their primary platform. I'd hope with enough Youtubers cross-posting to Peertube that it'll balance out and gradually, PeerTube will become a more and more appealing platform for people to jump to. Because you're right: it's mostly super niche content and people spamming album songs or archives. And unfortunately, most people aren't into that.
Okay, perfect example regarding my post about #Youtube: I'm trying to find something to watch while I have breakfast. If I want to use #Preservetube, I have to grab the link to the channel to access its archive and possibly spend time waiting for the videos to archive.
If I want to try #PeerTube, I have to find an instance with enough servers federated, scroll for a while on most recent, and pray something is on there that actually appeals to my interests. Chances are that the 20-something or so videos uploaded today don't fit that description and I am SOL. First-world problem as hell? Yes. I 100% acknowledge that, but I'm pointing this out in the perspective of why it's hard for people to move off of Youtube.
So, I still haven't gone back to #Youtube since the #boycott started, and honestly, I don't miss Youtube, I just miss some of the creators I watched on there. As substitutes, my main go-tos have been #Preservetube and #PeerTube.
Preservetube in theory is great, but it's extremely limited with no channel search, no ability to archive playlists, often does not archive the entire channel if the channel has too many videos, and it frequently fails when archiving.
Peertube I've talked about on Plural Café, but the dearth of content is just... really not great. I found some larger instances with more videos, and even then, I still can't find much to watch that I actually care about. Even on instances with other 1,000 other instances federated, there's still at most a few dozen videos uploaded daily. Then there are times where some videos just... won't load when I actually do find something interesting, or how PeerTube will randomly convert a P2P video to HTTP, which often breaks it by either ruining the audio, disabling playback, or just removing the audio entirely. Fun.
To put it in perspective for the people who go, "You just have to look harder!" I recently saw a video by cgfocus on Preservetube where he went over dozens of Blender-specific Youtube channels, said he found 400+ of them and he said there's absolutely more out there that he missed. If you compare that to PeerTube, there's only at most, 12 #Blender channels I can think of, and that's in general, not just active channels. That says a lot.
And I'm not trying to be nothing but a complainer since I have suggested before that we should promote PeerTube to Youtubers as a means of having a backup and avoiding Youtube's insane censorship.
I also briefly tried #Glomble, but that also is extremely limited in search capabilities and it even more limited in content breadth than PeerTube.
My point being: I don't miss Youtube itself and ditching it wasn't as difficult as I thought it was going to be, but the real challenge is trying to fill the void. It puts into perspective how much of a monopoly Youtube really has over the video space, and honestly, I wish that monopoly would crumble already. I hope the age verification crap is enough to convince people well enough to ditch Youtube, or at least boycott hard enough to get Youtube to bend its knee.
