#2It seems like PeerTube adoption is slower than Mastodon. Blender's instance[1] is the only other non-toy instance I know of. It's probably because video is much harder to work with, so fewer people do it in the first place.

#3I mean good for them diversifying but it’s such a weird thing that of all the stuff to complain about on YT they go out of their way to mention having to tag videos as appropriate for children and/or for children.
Like surely that’s such a tiny thing. It seems like the author is trying to muster up some nondescript hate for YT when they were going to move for ideological reasons anyway.

I can’t even get that to load, and that’s half the problem with all of the YouTube alternatives in general. Youtube is annoying in more ways than I can count, but it works, and I can watch videos in it.

Right, it's essentially ragging on a complete product. No one would say, come to peertube, where you have no idea what is meant for your child!

#7The problem for the Fediverse will always be domains, in my opinion. It sounds silly to the technical demographic, but to a normal person, it is a massive issue.
"Which server do I choose to get in bed with?"
It's not just a question of which server do you trust to be a good actor and to not shut down tomorrow. It's also a question of which domain name do you want associated with your user account?
Do you want alice@cucumbers.pizza? Or do you want alice@witches.bike?
I believe that gmail won email not because of security and good user experience. I think they won because it removed the complexity of this problem.
When I sign up for gmail, I can just be myself. I don't have to be myself + something else.
Consequently, this is the strength of P2P networks. Remove the domain question entirely. I _am_ just a long string of characters (which is like my essence), but people call me by my name. Just like in normal life.

I don't understand this sentence. What is the "something else" here that Gmail uniquely lacks?

#9There has got to be some alternative to YouTube. First it was gun videos, then “hate speech”, then medical videos or anything that doesn’t tow their line with the virus, and now they are screwing with people (the Peak Prosperity guy) discussing peer reviewed literature.

N=1, but it loaded just fine for me on a T-Mobile LTE connection in rural Tennessee. Buck the Bunny started streaming immediately on my iPhone when clicked, the kids love it.
