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.
This video just made the front page of HN which is quite an accomplishment for a video. I rarely see videos there.
Is it really a good idea to promote ActivityPub stuff, especially PeerTube as "privacy friendly"? Considering federation is built on copying your data to other servers and PeerTube actually sharing your IP address to boot.
You're right PeerTube isn't necessarily privacy friendly in general sense. I suppose what is meant in the video is that on PeerTube some big tech company isn't registering every move you make. Personally I would use the word ethical here.
Use tor with peertube.Done. You are anon
There's a Lemmy community dedicated to promoting fedi. It's !fedivangelism@lemmy.ml. Might wanna cross-post there @ericbuijs@lemmy.ml.
In theory it's not indeed, the is indeed shared between multiple instances, but in practice it's much better.
Since it doesn't rely on advertisement and is fully open source, the fediverse has very little tracking, and no one uses its data for advertisement. It's also not full of the dark patterns that are often used for tracking. In the end your data is much less abused than on other platforms. It might become an issue though if an ad corporation starts running their own instances and federating with everyone.
Hail Peertube!
