I thought odysee is a better alternative for youtube and offers much more privacy. But it’s not. So disappointed.
Feeling hard to quit youtube because of other platforms doesn’t have much better or quality contents expecially no instance of peertube is truly usable. 🤥
PeerTube is a nice idea but almost all instance owners don’t enable much federation, if any.
I had to create my own and set it to auto-federate with others.
And still there’s a large lack of interesting content or stability or usable clients.
Also the sorting is completely out of whack. If I click on “trending” videos, the top ones are usually several months old.
There also a whole lot of non-English content with no way to filter it.
I administrate a PeerTube instance (peertube.wtf) and everything is just much more complicated compared to a Lemmy instance.
One reason I don’t “auto-federate” is because there’s a ton of pirated and questionable content. So much content is in a foreign language and so many instances are inactive and therefore filled with spam.
That’s why I add instances manually to federate with. This way, the quality of the content is also much higher.
What’s wrong with pirated content?
For hosters, legality has to be considered.
It’s easier and more productive to just remove bad instances as they’re added than it is to scower all the different instances and pick and choose which ones to federate with.
Yes ! I found some useful and meaningful videos only on tilvids.com in my perspective.
