PeerTube is fantastic with its decentralized model that prioritizes user privacy and control. However, it still struggles to gain widespread popularity.

What do you think could be done to enhance PeerTube’s appeal and functionality, possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

    Right I forgot about that. That’s also a thing with Mastodon. I think in decentralized Services need to push that there are each other so it doesn’t matter which one that you end up going with. That’s at least what drove me to get on let me in the first place cuz I know that whatever instance I would get on would allow me to participate with everybody else the same way you and me are on different instances right now.

      Yeah that made it feel better once I knew that too. It just needs to be made optional I think, in the sense that there should be a “give me a random server with good ping and stats” kind of thing maybe.

        Right? I have been thinking how someone could build something like that. I would love to try my hand at a landing page like that
