Yeah, adoption of Peertube is just so low that all instances that federate liberally will have this nonsense displayed prominently because it gets comparably many views. That those instances are also listed on joinpeertube.org is unfortunate, but at least the federated nature of Peertube means that assuming the maintainers of joinpeertube are aware of the issue and refuse to do something about it, people can still make an effort to build up an alternative launching point for people looking for instances.

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.

Cool
unfortunately there is only two ways of truly fixing this problem:
-
don't make the software free (free as preached by the fsf) by using an ethical license
-
take away the rights of these "people" (would required heavy government intervention so there isn't much you can do for now)
Hard disagree. The joinpeertube.org list of instance could be moderated for example.
I agree with this
the list instance being full of hate is just a symptom of allowing right-wingers to host their own platform, moderating joinpeertube.org is only a bandage fix
No it's not. Joinpeertube.org is the main onboarding site for interested people who don't have a main server yet, moderating it is important.
The enabling right-wingers to host the most successful peertube servers is a different problem.
How are you gonna stop rightwingers from owning a fricken computer?
