  • Peertube is more like a “Proof Of Concept”. In reality, most content creators will not switch to it (or even care enough to learn about it).

    This isn’t like the reddit --> Lemmy transition, where you switch from Stranger Group A to Stranger Group B. If creators aren’t moving, there will be no transition. And, unlike with social media posts that you can repost, you can’t even reupload Youtube videos because you’ll get copyright take down notices (that the instance owner will legally have to comply with).

    Btw, Peertube federates with other Peertube instances, Peertube and Youtube does not federate with each other. And it’s not a front-end for Youtube either.


  • Youtube is probably the one that you can’t “Just Switch To Fediverse”

    Youtube content is mainly by creators. If they won’t leave, there will be no transition. And unlike reddit posts, you can’t just reupload. Because they will copyright strike you and take it down. Also, videos take up a lot more space than just text and some low-res memes like reddit-type sites.

    reddit is essentially a bunch of strangers talking to people, moving froms stranger Group A to stranger Group B is very easy to do. The reddit > Lemmy transition is probably one of the easiest. You’re just joining a new group of strangers.

    For everything else, your contacts will also need to switch.

    For Mastodon, the people you follow will also need to switch. This is even harder than getting your friends to switch.

    Also, I want to mention Briar it’s a peer-to-peer communications app that allows communications not only by internet (via tor), but also bluetooth, wifi. There are no servers, all the data on right on your device. Its available for Android, and there’s also desktop clients. You can form a mesh network of your fellow revolutionaries, the oppressors can shut down the internet, but not the flow of information. If everyone in a protest added each other as contacts on Briar on their phone, you can theretically have a Briar forum that can share information on any law enforcemement or military movements, even during an internet shutdown. (beware of possible phone backdoors tho, maybe run Graphene OS or something)

    There are already Briar Public Forums, but they don’t have much activity (there’s like 1 post/comment every other month, and that’s it). But its like a secret corner of the internet. If we get more people to use it, we can potentially have a peer-to-peer network instead of only being decentralized, but still having servers.
