I’m kind of sick of opening my tor browser everyday just for looking at important updates.
luckily if we get more people to join the fediverse, which RSS is an available option by default. in the future I might only need to just open my RSS feeds.
the problem is little to no content creators use the fediverse, even unaware that doing this is a good thing because of “First Mover Advantage”. on top of that, unlike that term doing this has no risks involved. you’re just expanding your audience.
People around the internet should ask their favorite youtubers and content creators to also use a Mastodon and Peertube account, maybe get them a crossposter software to do everything for them. if that exists.
like you and everyone else, I don’t want to rely on big social media corporations to connect with people.
I hope this message gets to somewhere, repost this or tell other’s to do the same.
It’s worth pointing directly at how YouTube is a bad tool for what creators are trying to do as evidenced by the constant dancing around what the algorithm considers “advertiser friendly”. When’s the last time you watched a YouTube video and they didn’t have to censor themselves either explicitly or by thinking out loud “YouTube will flag this”?
Creators want to be apart of a community moderated and curated by real humans just like their audience, I would guess, and it’s exciting that PeerTube is postured to support this! I don’t think it’s a hard sell really other than the monetary landscape will get rattled but I imagine that’s a solvable problem too.
this is a good point, also uninformed people get too paradoxical when choosing a youtube alternative (since most website list like, 5 different alternative) when they could just recommend the most superior one (peertube) .
looking how bad youtube censorship is we could definitely convince alot of people to use it.
yeah, It’s definitely not a hard sell.
