Damn!

@peertube with no hesitation dropped a truth bomb today...

"The realization that led us to develop PeerTube is that no one can rival YouTube or Twitch. You would need Google’s money, Amazon servers’ farms... Above all, you would need the greed to exploit millions of creators and videomakers, groom them into formatting their content to your needs, and feed them the crumbs of the wealth you gain by farming their audience into data livestock."

it's going to be an exciting time for PeerTube. I really hope that more people on the Fediverse start creating content for it. There's so much potential there.

I recommend anyone who hasn't watched it yet to give it a try - https://videos.trom.tf/w/p/fVpfZ9VfWrWawHkggKi7Wz

A documentary miniseries called TROM II was released exclusively to #Peertube 🙂

Thanks!

Note that the "data livestock" part is openly inspired by the great work of @aral, who coined the phrase "[Surveillance Capitalism companies] are factory farms for humans" https://www.bbc.co.uk/ideas/videos/surveillance-capitalism-has-led-us-into-a-dystopia/p06p0tdy

@Mrfunkedude anyone else getting a Mastodon glitch for this post? Clicking on the link takes me to the blog post, but clicking on the thumbnail only takes me to the main domain, https://joinpeertube.org

@Mrfunkedude works fine on Akkoma though...

Bindestrich Dec 13, 2023

@Mrfunkedude I don't like #peertube at all, its main use is to spread conspiracy theories and worse. I don't see the devs adressing this at all. Maybe stop distributing holocaust denials on your own homepage at least? @peertube

3dcandy Dec 13, 2023

@Bindestriche @Mrfunkedude @peertube that is hardly the fault of the platform though is it? An instance can ban those sort of things but that is up to the admin and whilst you might not agree about it surely it is also free speech which is a massive part of the fediverse ie no censoring or pushing content it wants you to see

PeerTube Dec 13, 2023

@3dcandy @Bindestriche @Mrfunkedude

Without any doubt, holocaust denial falls under our moderation policy.

If you find such content in an instance that appear our search engine, you can:

* report the instance here https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances (upright corner)
* Report it to the independent @PeerTube_Isolation project (we also moderate from their feed)

@3dcandy @Bindestriche @Mrfunkedude @PeerTube_Isolation

[addendum] To us it goes without saying, but it bears another toot : the instance responsible for the content on your screenshot is being moderated from our index right now.

Bindestrich Dec 13, 2023

@peertube @3dcandy @Mrfunkedude @PeerTube_Isolation does not change the fact without your software these videos whould not get distributed that easily. There isn't even a report button next to the results list. Everybody knows that friction kills activity. Your software is the backbone of every fascists social media presence. You could make tools to make it easier to spot this dirt. Where are they?

3dcandy Dec 13, 2023

@Bindestriche @peertube @Mrfunkedude @PeerTube_Isolation Bindestrich - what an angry man you are. Peertube is evolving and I'm sure it will get those tools in due course, as it grows it will evolve. It is a very small dev team. It is in no way shape or form the backbone of every fascists social media presence and that is hate talk right there. You should be ashamed of what you say, you are as bad as the fascists you hate so much using language like that

@Bindestriche @peertube @3dcandy @Mrfunkedude @PeerTube_Isolation

I would suggest reading the Bruce Sterling short story, "Are you for 86?". :D

One of the themes in there is how the fringe groups always end up using technology for their own purposes.

Bindestrich Dec 13, 2023

@BillySmith @peertube @3dcandy @Mrfunkedude @PeerTube_Isolation so if its something that always happens why not account for it? Thars exactly my point

Mr. Funk E. Dude 🍑💨Dec 13, 2023

@Bindestriche @BillySmith @peertube @3dcandy @PeerTube_Isolation That's a point with no substance. PeerTube allows admins and users to block instances or individuals that they believe are harmful. They also keep them off of their search page.

Or is your complaint that anyone can use the software, even fascists? In which case I'd ask why you are using Mastodon when fascists also use it?

Mr. Funk E. Dude 🍑💨Dec 13, 2023

@Bindestriche @peertube @3dcandy @PeerTube_Isolation With this logic we should all stop using computers, cell phones, etc because these things are used to push fascist ideals and helps them organize. 🙄

Bindestrich Dec 13, 2023

@Mrfunkedude @peertube @3dcandy @PeerTube_Isolation biulding a video software distribution platform with the explicit purpose of being hard to censor/moderate while enhancing anonymity is not the same thing as writing an email. Peertube started development after the enshitification of social media started. Even in response to it. Not treating unwanted content as an afterthought is not a big ask. Especially since the platform does not need outrage bait etc. Like commercial platforms do

Mr. Funk E. Dude 🍑💨Dec 13, 2023

@Bindestriche @peertube @3dcandy @PeerTube_Isolation Can you show me where the "explicit purpose" of PeerTube is the be "hard to censor/moderate while enhancing anonymity" is stated on their website? I'd love to see this.

Also, when do you think PeerTube started development?

And where do you get the idea that they "treating unwanted content like an afterthought" ???

It seems you either don't understand how it works or you think your unwarranted claims justify some sort of moral outrage.

Bindestrich Dec 13, 2023

@peertube I am guessing the index is still rebuilding, when it does take another look there is more than one instance with that kind of stuff. Also whould be really good to have a report button in the results list

Bindestrich Dec 13, 2023

@3dcandy free speech or in this the right for white dudes to broadcasts death threats . Sure make that your hill to die on.

3dcandy Dec 13, 2023

@Bindestriche go away. You seem to have very little grasp of the real world. Reported and blocked now

Reminder to #booxread that and decide whether peertube would be better suited to host my #hpmor audio chapters.

Conclusion : Ça pourrait, mais il faudrait d'abord que je trouve Une instance avec ce type de contenu
