PeerTube has some big problems currently with fashists, but is the only option as an YT alternative in the Fediverse.
I am not able to programm, I would love to create an alternative that somehow stops this facist bullshit (I have some ideas for that)
Dear Fedis, what will we do now?
PeerTube has some big problems currently with fashists
Could you explain? Which instance are you looking at?
Mastadon had a similar issue before the blowup. It’s not possible to stop in a completely open source and federated service. By design, anybody can join in, and create a new instance to do with as they please
If you want to make it better we need more servers that block this trash, and who have larger user-bases than the current ones. Create quality content on reasonable instances, advertise these sites, and bring other creators in
It’s federated so you can join a different instance that moderates how you like. Or create your own!
Peertube is just a tool , you can use it for good or for bad purposes. Does that mean we should boycott Peertube all together? No , because that’s the nature of these FOSS tools. Anyone can use it however they want.

That’s not a problem with PeerTube, that’s a problem with whatever site you’re viewing them on. PeerTube is just software. Report them to your admin or switch instances.
This is a problem that’s inherent in the Fediverse and with freedom in general, as the entire point is that no one has unilateral control.
The solution is moderation.
