If it's related to privacy, post it here. In the past you could be attacked for posting a YT link instead of a Piped link but Piped is long dead so you should be fine now.

A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

When I remember to, I try to add a message in the post body recommending Freetube combined with Libredirect, since that still works.
Thank you for this explanation, because I was not picking up what that Title was putting down
Folks who want to view the video using a third party client could always just copy and paste the link, so I don't see any problem
I have automatic redirect (with the LibRedirect-plugin in Firefox) of any YouTube-links so that they open in Freetube. Set up on my phone as well, and it works nicely.
Libredirect is awesome.
I do the same, its super sick, except that it still leaves an empty gray tab
I wasn't sure about posting videos in general
I see you've already posted it, but YouTube links should be fine. Traditionally, it was better to post Invidious links; but thanks to Google, this links don't tend to keep working for too long these days.
On the other hand, if a video also exists on media.ccc.de or PeerTube, that would be the preferred option. YouTube is still acceptable, though.
Personally I don't like youtube video posts that copy the clickbait video title and have no description and nothing to add. I percieve posts like those as low effort spam.
I would prefer if the poster could add a good title and summary. Also share what they liked or thought is interesting or worth discussing. That way it is more informative and there is a point made on why I would be interested in watching it. Which would in turn spawn a healthy discussion, which is interesting to read and participate.
But thats just my 2ct. take it or leave it. Cheers!
Edit: Forget my previous comment, thought this was regarding a different post I made
