Suggestions?

My issue is that the content creators i watch probably arnt going to leave... and im sure ad blocks will find a way around it after a month or so

PeerTube seems to be the federated (decentralized) option (similar to this). Content obv is entirely different, but maybe that's actually a good thing. Think of it as a clean slate - a fresh canvas. tbh YouTube's content has really sucked the past few years, and mother of bog do you see the stuff that trends nowadays when you're signed out? It's basically become cable tv. I started using youtube bc I hated cable tv.

defederated

I'm not sure I understand what defederated means in this context. Can you explain it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

think they meant to say decentralized

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

yes, my brain apparently couldn't decide between decentralized and federated, so it mooshed them together
