I just can't get into using Peertube. I love the idea, but in my experience, it just doesn't work the way it should. Slow, low video quality, hard to get the federation working properly, and most importantly, a general lack of content creators I care to follow.
I stick with Odysee for this, and several other reasons.
-
Consider using Grayjay, you can combine creators from various sources to one app. Including YouTube, Peertube, Dailymotion, Odysee and lots of others.
I subscribe to some people on PeerTube and Dailymotion (only news orgs) alongside my Youtube subs, so that I am not only relying on YouTube
-
I do, but the desktop version is still barebones compared to FreeTube or the Odysee webpage. It's great on mobile, though!
And as for Peertube, I guess part of the problem is that it doesn't feel as connected as other Fediverse services seem to feel. Not sure why, it just feels really disjointed to me.
-
I don't think PeerTube will take a significant market share or become a lot more popular until it gets some sort of monetization scheme in place. Maybe if bandwidth for 1080p is basically free in 10-20 years.
Just a friendly headsup about Odysee. You are probably aware already and are selecting content carefully based on this, but Odysee hosts a lot of content that is considered disinformation, hate speech, far-right etc.

I agree with you on Peertube. I'd love to see it grow but I just don't see it doing so until things change significantly.
Also, I don't believe in censorship of legal speech protected under the US constitution so the moderation issue doesn't bother me. I just block channels and accounts I don't like.

Dude.. you had my upvote indtil odysee!
-
I don't know if I need to ask, but what's wrong with Odysee?
-
It's mostly unmoderated so you have the extremists channels there who are banned from the mainstream platforms. Also it has a reputation for being a platform to whitewash/launder money to said extremist persons or organisations
-
Yep, this is pretty much what I was expecting to hear. You know you can block channels/accounts you don't like, no? I don't believe in censorship of legal speech. As long as no violence is being threatened, as long as drugs aren't being sold and as long as children are not being harmed, it falls under the first amendment. If I don't like what someone says, I just block them because that's what the internet was always about: free expression, even of ideals we don't like or agree with.
-
Well, the first amendment is mainly only an American amendment isn't it? The world is a large place, and we seem to see things differently some times. I agree that as a user, I can block whatever I don't want to see, but that said, linking my viewers to a platform where they risk being exposed to extremists, rubs off on me too.
-
Sure, but Odysee is an American platform. And ultimately, the only reason your viewers would blame you for others on a platform is because we've infantalized the internet over the past decade or so. Used to be that netizens knew that trolls and bullies exist online and wouldn't blame individual platforms for it.

The feeling when you type out a lengthy reply and then delete it, because you know it's not going to be a conversation worth having...
Have a good day my friend
-
I respect your choice to do that (kinda sick of arguments in general) but honestly, that's part of the problem. Seems not too many people are willing to have civil discussions these days, it's all so polarized. Have a good one.

All drugs should be legal and regulated.

So in other words you're bragging about how stupid you are ?? Did Odysee trigger something in you ? Do you have a special kind of PTSD ?
-
You kind of prove a point
