I want to like peertube, but the discoverability is terrible, and last I checked, it was pushing mostly cinspiracy theories. And every time I try to see around, it’s just impossible to find an instance that would host interesting videos. Also, I find hopping around instances feels awkward.
Also, it seems to consist of “video dumps”, resulting the instances having the “new” videos being hundreds of videos posted by just one user. It’s just… not there for me, eben though I love the idea :/
If I’m not mistaken, the preference was to be able to subscribe to the community, as you see it on your feed, as you resonate with the content posted alongside the core implication of the community. Going to another website to search said instance just to subscribe,is much MORE work, than 3 clicks.
Quite precisely. This of course would cause a “bubble”, but would also preserve their unhinged posts for the media to highlight.
And if they come to something like mastodon.social, many will mix up human right violations as “just your everyday political opinions”, and get the boot, so it’s more handier for them, as a party, to curate what the party represents.
There is nothing wrong with politicans using mastodon, and they will start using it when ex-twitter statistically show losing popularity. However, the same rules apply for the politicans, as does anyone else. That’s why they’ll probably start creating their own instances for their parties. And luckily people can decide to not to follow them (god I hated twitter when there was any local, or American voting going on. The promotional spam was unhinged).
I would so much like to love peertube, but I have yet to find any instance that hosts the trash reevant to my interests. Mostly they either are filled with reuploads from YouTube, or are full of radicalized conspiracy theories (which I encounter very rarely on any other form of fediverse).
And then there is the “dumploads”, which makes the instances seem like they only have one active contributor, as they dump like 60 videos right after another, resulting the frontpages to have just one note content. This, however, could be gixed by otion to group conecutive uploads as “[latest video] and [n] other videos from [user]”, which would help to find more diverse content, as well as discourage dumping.
Then again, that is only my opinion, and if PeerTube is fine for others, who am I to complain. It just doesn’t seem to be for me :/
