Creaper world. I like putting it on random and listening to audiobooks. It’s great for destress.

Could we just…call everything AI then and it cant be regulated. Cause that would be hilarious.

I wish yacy was better. Federated/self hosted search should be awesome.

Im having a real hard time wrapping my head around bondfire. It would be nice to have a standard library for activityhub in python (or other languages).

Microsoft is going to own them at some point.

The government has been secretly tracking everyone’s farts since 1998. The next one you release will trigger your official ranking on the Global Flatulence Leaderboard. visible to everyone.

Discoverability is one of the bigger issues. In YouTube there is a huge push to be more discoverable to the algorithm and to keep users on the platform. In peertube there’s no such pressure…for better or worse.

Some peertube instances do, most do not. Some have manual processes, some don’t.

Ex: https://makertube.net/signup

And no one is stopping anyone from creating their own server. Yunohost even makes it a one click solution.

It’s just like Lemmy/fediverse stuff. Each instance provider has their own rules. And that’s ok

I’ve seen their code and how they operate. Seems legit to me but I’m a bit biased.

Yep no reason to scale until you need to scale.

Everyone wants it to be YouTube. With ads and algorithms and…

Just let it be peertube. It works now.

I have a server with less than 100gb that’s running it for a year so far. No issues and even has a channel with 100 or so subscribers (literally my dog).

It’s p2p capabilities make it pretty easy to distribute videos. And the server admins have the ability to toggle if they want to host other videos from other instances or not. They even have the ability to host specific individual videos if they want to support certain creators. Its a very intelligent system.

If anyone wants to take a look, we have a couple different communities/channels/videos over on [email protected]

Yep 🐕

In fact dogs in many ways are better than people for friendship. If only they lived longer. We get blessed by their presence only for so long.

If you go to coffee shops, you can literally see the chatgpt prompt in most browsers where people are doing work.

Yeah

Have you thought of perhaps hosting your own? If you are concerned about it.

Yunohost has a pretty easy install of peertube. It works pretty well and you can even make videos private for your own family uses if need arises. Gl!

Makertube is a good one. It has a lot of family friendly content as well.

Its been pretty good. Lemmy has more momentum…but that doesn’t really mean much when you can just subscribe to different instances all over the place.

It has quite a few UI templates. So you can further customize your experience. Its initial setup is MUCH nicer than lemmy. It has starter pack kinda deals. Theres a lot of other cool features like reposts show all comments from both postings. I also self hosted my own for a tiny bit, but I like the default piefed.social website the most. It is much more stable haha.

Plus Piefed can hook into other ActivityHub providers like peertube, mastodon, etc…without any real issues. Its a bit better than lemmy in that it utilizes the nature of the fediverse a bit more. Dont get me wrong, there both very solid projects. But as a layman, Im really enjoying piefed.

He also discusses the youtube bit in the first part of the video.

Its really cool to see username@instance1 and username@instance2 on community instance3. It means Activityhub is doing its job and making us truly federated.
