You downvote youtube links because they're not peertube.

I downvote youtube links because they're videos without a text synopsis.

We are not the same.

I've been posting videos on Mastodon and then making link posts to Lemmy with the link being the Mastodon hosted video link.

I don't know how to make that sound less confusing... I'm on very little sleep.

I'm trying to encourage people to use other video services in general but getting out of YT jail is pretty hopeless. Happy when I do see a non-YT vid tho.

I've been trying to get into peertube for over a year, but I don't understand it well enough to start.

if you're logged out from yt, deleted your cookies etc or even use a fresh browser install and visit any yt video from a german IP, reject all tracking in the popup and switch your region to another country (eg Azerbajan or so), it will still recommend you "related" propaganda from the new german nazi party that will try to make you xenophobic, transphobic and anti-left. doesn't even matter what video you visited. i don't want to see that disgusting shit. so excuse me, if i downvote every link to this nazi enabler site. imagine kids viewing that shit after some skibidi and getting indoctrinated. not okay.

NewPipe let's you add PeerTube instances in the app. I always felt like it would be a good way to get people to switch since you can have YouTube add free plus whatever other instances you want altogether. That being said, you still have to get them over the fdroid/obtanium/sideloading. And with the changes coming to android it would be tough. But wouldn't having an app you can have something like Mastadon + other garbage social media a person wants together, like how there are (were?) single FB/Twitter apps help with the conversion? This is probably sacrilege to a lot of fedi users if its even still possible with all the APIs being locked down (Reddit!!!)

PieFed automatically offers a piped.video link for every YT post.

Based on recognizing the meme format, I thought this would be a meme about the AWS outage.

Do they not know you can use Peertube to load youtube links? I didn't even know Peertube hosted anything; I've only known it as a front-end.

I'm thinking of NewPipe. My bad.

If they want to make peertube popular then they need to make it not have trash speeds. To compete you have to be a COMPETITOR.
