YouTube has just changed its rules to allow hate speech against gender minorities 😞

If you currently publish on YouTube, please consider putting your videos on PeerTube instead or as well:

Your audience doesn't have to be on PeerTube themselves. They can follow and interact with PeerTube from within Mastodon etc, and they can even follow PeerTube from podcasting apps such as Apple Podcasts.

in reply to Fedi.Video • • •p.s. Let me know if you're on PeerTube, I give shoutouts to PeerTubers via @FediFollows and @FediVideo to help get them noticed.
PeerTube is not just about Linux and FOSS any more, you can have a look at fedi.video to see all sorts of accounts that have uploaded.
If you're not a video creator but you follow someone on YouTube, you might want to politely suggest to them that they mirror their channel on PeerTube so that people can watch without having to use YouTube.

in reply to Fedi.Video • • •The problem is most peertube instances either have strict upload limits (something like 50 MB a day; understandably so since videos are very resource-intensive compared to text toots or images) or are limited to "content creators."
I'm not a "content creator." I just upload gameplay videos with minimal editing or narration. There is no space for users like me on PeerTube. Unless maybe I seek out an instance that charges for membership.
I'd love to get away from YouTube hegemony but I have few to no options.
