A free software to take back control of your videos
Peertube is an open, federated alternative to Youtube without advertising or tracking. On this site, you can find a good Peertube instance, with good rules, good moderation and most importantly a friendly community.

I love Peertube but but finding content can be challenging at times. I just added it so hopefully this helps. Should make de-googling much easier.
Yeah it’s like that way for me too, looking for content apart from Linux that interests me is little challenging.
That's definitely not the type of stuff I'd like to discover there. Decentralization is great but not if it just means hyper localization to the point that it's hard to see content from other instances. It seems like the development of Peertube has gotten pretty stagnant, especially compared to other platforms on the Fediverse. A few years ago it ranked just behind Mastodon in monthly active users . Since then the Fediverse has gotten much more active and the developers of Mastodon, Pixelfed and Lemmy have all adjusted to it and made advances in their software, overtaking Peertube in Monthly Active Users. Hopefully the developers at Peertube can make some similar adjustments to bring in more users and more content.
