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."

@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

@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

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)

[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.

@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?

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.

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

@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?
