Peertube has this fediverse problem. You google it, go to the webpage and instead of getting a list of promoted videos, you get an explanation of what it is and a manual on how to actually join, starting with โselect a potโ. You then get to search the list of pots that all have like 10 viewers and 5gb upload limit. I stopped at this point.
That being said, i really would like an European youtube alternative, but not off the โprovide your own hardwareโ kind.
Exactly my problem why I'm not really getting into Lemmy either, same with mastodon. The whole decentralization standing in the middle of it all is just annoying.
Also yeah, Peertube did not even look like a competitor at all. Same with Threema with it costing 6 euros to use
Yeah, it reminds me of that software Richard from silicon valley tv show made that was just so overly complicated. I've got to say the people who come up with these ideas are very intelligent, but it's so overly complicated and not user friendly at all.
They are too set on catering to the small minority that cares about the privacy/decentrilisation of it all while a normal user just cares about: Simply creating an account and using the service
Joinpeertube.org doesnโt have the best onboarding, but take a look at the pinned post at !peertube@lemmy.wtf for a few good servers to choose from.
If it has to be explained in a post on another site then itโs guaranteed to lose.
It has already come a long way and will continue to get better and easier; put in the tiny bit of effort required to help it grow.
Defeatism because everything isn't spoonfed to you and 100% on par with YouTube is actively harmful to the transition away from American products.
Until itโs as easy as Reddit or YouTube then we are not going to meet critical mass. This isnโt being defeatist, this is being realistic.
Yeah these are real problems that need to be addressed, not issues to say "nuh uh" and bury our head in the sand to
"man this email thing will NEVER take off"
this is how you people sound, seriously.
Thank you
Edit: this is much more helpful than the website
