Dear Fediverse, thank you for being a safe haven from AI slop.

This morning, I checked out Pinterest for the first time in forever and saw an image purporting to be a LEGO set that was obviously AI generated - yuck!

Then on Reddit's popular page there was a video compilation of people saving children from terrible falls = AI slop.

YouTube's homepage: a short video showing a child and her dog covered in mud = AI slop.

What was I thinking? I should visit #Lemmy and #PeerTube instead...

@_elena is Lemmy and peertube good? I was told that peertube is not a good replacement for YouTube. For example, I like to watch channels like EWU and investigation videos and those are not available in peertube. Is the content very low on it?

Peertube supports syncing channels with youtube. EWU is on there already but if you have other channels youd like to see on peertube you can also set them up yourself.

I wrote a short how to for it here https://lemmy.world/post/39621439
Guide: Sync Your Favorite YouTube Channels to PeerTube - Lemmy.World

Peertube’s Channel sync feature imports videos from a YouTube channel/playlist to your PeerTube channel automatically. Sync checks hourly; initial full import of large channels can take hours but additional syncs are usually fast. 1. Go to Channels > Synchronizations > Add synchronization. 2. Fill form: - Remote channel URL: Paste public YouTube channel URL (or playlist URL). Get from under video title. - Video channel: Select your target PeerTube channel. - Options for existing videos: Choose “Import all existing” for full backfill, or “Watch for new only”. 3. Click Create. After Setup: - Wait a few hours for initial sync (downloads/encodes videos). - New videos import hourly. - Monitor list in Synchronizations. Manage: - Update: Delete and recreate sync (use “Watch for new” to avoid re-import). - Delete: In list, click button > Delete. Admin Prerequisites (Already done on peertube.gravitywell.xyz ) : In Settings > Configuration > Basic > Videos: - Enable “Allow import with HTTP URL (e.g. YouTube)” - Enable “Allow channel synchronization with other platforms” For more details see the official peertube docs [https://docs.joinpeertube.org/use/channel-sync]
