Peertube's moment might come soon (feddit.de)

Youtube, for so many years, was just too good. Yes, they changed the 5 star rating system to likes and dislikes and a few years later disabled dislikes altogether, but their algorithm mostly digs up interesting content and it just works for creators and viewers.

This might change soon. Their new strategy to disallow ad-blockers will frustrate a certain kind of viewer. Those who dislike surveillance and like open-source tech, those who use uBlock Origin and know why.

Just like a few years ago mastodon suddenly reached a certain kind of popularity, because twitter had their first big fuckup, maybe Peertube is next. It certainly is the most polished decentralized solution that doesn't use a blockchain. Creators or fans could easily host their own videos, fans can watch it, without ads.

I've always thought of PeerTube as a content delivery platform ala Plume for blogging. Consuming cross-platform content works much better from Lemmy, Friendica or Mastodon-type platforms.

PeerTube channels looks beautiful in Lemmy and once a user pulls a channel it shows up as a regular community

So Lemmy as Video Support, Good to know.

Just subscribe to any PeerTube channel like you would a remote community, search for the channel/community URL and there you go.

IMO the interface is much better on Lemmy and the whole thing is more aligned with the Fedi mindset, one account subscribing to anything.

Yeah I use Mbin as of the moment and it can do most things just not Video ATM, Might have to check my lemmy account to see if I can actually watch content from PeerTube on there.
