Many are asking me to put my videos on PeerTube, but every time I look at it, I see an overly technical user experience that I do not trust to take off.
What we need is for Mastodon to become a video platform, so THIS social medium which has now matured and people clearly love, gets robust video features.
You do not beat YouTube by making users jump through hoops to watch a video. You beat YouTube by making user sponsored creator videos turn up right in the Mastodon feed.
YouTube and even the awful X.com are here to stay, and have far too many valuable accounts on them for me to avoid using. YouTube in particular is an incredible archive of lost media - politics or preferences notwithstanding.
So just keep posting on the Tube and feel OK about it.

Microsoft is not here to stay. VISA is not here to stay. Booking.com is not here to stay. Neither are X nor YouTube.
At least not if you or some organization or country you're part of becomes sufficiently unpopular with Donald Trump. This has happened already.
For our own safety, we're building alternatives.
