This appears to be a photo gallery software, that also handles video and sound. That's fine, but there's no way that's a "decentralized alternative to Flickr, YouTube, SoundCloud". Am I missing something?
Federation is planned but not implemented yet.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I actually attempted to get it going on my VPS just a few days ago but got stuck on celery, missing some config (dont have the msg left) but might attempt it in the future again.
I like the dark design at least, I never understood who came up with white and bright pages to watch on a computer monitor, its not a book.
Nice idea, but I'd rename after something that isn't evil - subconscious suggestions of maliciousness might inadvertently repel some users. I'd suggest finding a design person who can lighten it up, pretty it up, and clean it up - the design has possibilities, but it's way too dark. Finally, many of the sample photos have really, really cold color temps (that cupcake photo's color temp is way too cold - it looks like…
Heya! So, we sometimes get comments about the branding choice of "goblins"... our goblins are actually not evil, though I agree that a lot of $STANDARD_FANTASY they're used as evil characters. Our goblins are more "build spaceships, be cute, and be awesome" goblins like http://mediagoblin.org/news/mediagoblin-0.3.2-goblinverse.ht... Curiously we've gotten a number of concerns about maybe the branding will push people…
I realize that the FreeBSD mascot is a devil, but FreeBSD is a far less consumer-facing product than MediaGoblin aims to be. Moreover, the FreeBSD team has struggled with questions about the appropriateness of such a mascot for corporate and marketing purposes [2].

Reminds of the line from Spaceballs: "now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb." Seriously, what an amatuerish-looking mess. White text on black, no clear navigation path, I can't imagine any random end user actually using one of these sites.
The name is the best part of it. People like globins.
I never understood or its never clear if one could have a private MediaGoblin, such that one has to login to view the content. The "private" ones with family photos still are public to anyone, maybe I am missing something.

If it isn't clear already, the warning/error message re: celery when you run `gmg *` is just a bug in current git master.
You've bitten off more than you can chew by going against Flickr/Youtube/Soundcloud. You don't really offer anything they don't, just a promise of ethics like "it's free".
