PeerTube looks quite promising with its decentralised model. Surely it will never be perfect. But decentralisation is essencial. Also because the types of videos I like to see in YouTube either are monetised by themselfs in some way. Or are not monetised at all. YouTube does not seem necessary for those creators.

Please,

discussing a complex geopolitical situation

Is not

telling their users to be nice to others and not break the rules of other instances

You are not being consistent.

Also, an admin detailing how to think about a complex geopolitical situation is not discussing.

Thanks for offering your perspective. Maybe I’m too cynical. Or maybe I’m reading to much into the Russia-Ukraine-Nato thing.

In any case, at current information, I can both accept the defederation, or just teaching people that they can choose and block specific users and communities.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding all the Russia-Ukraine-NATO section.

Thanks for the answer but I can only understand your first sentence. After that I have no clue about what you mean .

From reading that thread it is not just a socialist instance.

They are instructing their members on how to relate to others, how to react to outsiders comments in their communities, and how to protect themselves from outsiders opinions. To me that sounds like cult level brainwashing techniques.

Another word that comes to mind is brigading.

The Hexbear thread on federation: https://www.hexbear.net/post/280770 – read it yourself.

To me it reads like a plan to increase their reach with preventive instructions on how to avoid being ‘influenced’ by outsiders’ opinions.

My guesstimation is that it is a disinformation machine based on useful idiots.

Don’t you get paid per views on Substack?

Very nice of you to post that. Thank you!

I don’t see that option in the App info. I cannot find “Supported web addresses” anywhere. Wtf! 'm using a Xiaomi redmi 11s
