Operation: Puppet 🇨🇦
🏳️🌈
I understand why some creators, including myself, don't leave #YouTube. However it's vital now more than ever to also make yourself a #PeerTube server. You need an accurate archive of your work that YOU control, even if no one watches it there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrwJgDHJJoE
The Cyberwitch@operationpuppet@mastodon.content.town I've been seeing lots of people starting to mirror on the GravTube instance. I love following on PeerTube instead, it's just as an audience it's sometimes hard to find who and what is out there. I'm glad to be rid of the algorithm, but that often means sorting through instances where new videos are people filming trees and speaking in Esperanto, or the "Trending" videos are from 5 years ago.
Oleksii@operationpuppet@mastodon.content.town what about peer to pear file sharing?

If anyone needs help publishing to PeerTube, I've done a simple easy-to-follow guide at https://fedi.tips/how-to-publish-videos-and-audio-on-peertube
It also includes a list of good PeerTube servers to sign up on, or how to create your own server if you want to.
Please feel free to ask if you need specific help with anything about publishing on PeerTube!
beem@operationpuppet@mastodon.content.town it really depends on your use case though. I feel like, for example, gamersnexus has a large enough following to use an independent platform but for those just starting out and wanting to gain a user base, it will be a lot harder to get them to use a new platform and even harder to get sponsors.
It's a good initiative though
Blake Fox@operationpuppet@mastodon.content.town I just recently deleted 15 years of video content from Youtube. Still have back ups. Looking for reliable Peertube service since I am in no way an administrator.

It's not 100% the same thing, but PeerTube uses peer-to-peer to reduce the load on the server. If several people are watching the same PeerTube video at the same time, they torrent the video to each other.

I think the idea @operationpuppet@mastodon.content.town is saying is even if you are mainly on YouTube, it's important to also have a PeerTube presence as a backup that YouTube cannot touch.
If YouTube is going to start altering/censoring/removing your videos without permission, then your viewers can always go over to your PeerTube to see the unaltered original version that you actually made.

beem@FediTips@social.growyourown.services @operationpuppet@mastodon.content.town Ohh i see, must've missed that point. For sure preservation is EXTREMELY important especially as the site gets more and more censored by the day

That might be true from a lawyer's point of view, but most YouTube uploaders are going to be very shocked and pissed off if their videos are being altered without them being asked.
Either way, it's reinforcing the OP's point about needing to also have a PeerTube version that is outside Google's control.
