Comment on Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad?

This is the issue with federated youtube. It should ALL be federated, and all searchable, mandatory.

Now if I the user decide I don’t want to see an instance/video/creator, I should have two options.

Block - Used for when content offends you. It has zero place being in your feed.

Not Interested - Used when content isn’t offensive per se, but you really don’t care about it either. It’s not completely blocked from your feed, but it’s certainly not getting first dibs to show up from now on.

This leaves one thing that some may feel is an issue. Lets say there were a small dicked loser who did nazi salutes in public, and wanted to upload hateful content. Lets give him a random name for the sake of simplicity. Let’s call him…Elon. Hypothetical name.

So lets say small dicked Elon, starts uploading hateful content. On youtube you would report him. On peertube, since he owns the hosted server, you’d be reporting him to himself. Which is as you can imagine, useless.

So from here, you block them, and then you never have to see their hateful content ever again.

Because their rise, only comes from people giving these people attention.

I see two possible ways for it to succeed:

Federate by default, defederate if you have to. This is how Lemmy mostly seems to work; I proposed a policy for defederation for sh.itjust.works that has been used, we will federate with you unless you start spamming or hosting illegal porn or spewing hate speech or that kind of shit, then we’ll defederate. That has to happen at the instance level; if example.lol is generally fine but there’s one account there that’s a nuisance that’s what the block button is for, but lolita.rape gets defederated (and reported to the FBI).

Apply and join model. Have a coalition of instances that agree to mutually uphold certain moderation practices (no hate speech, no kid fucking, goat or human, no human trafficking, etc) and then they federate with each other, eventually forming a large and wholesome community.

Nobody federates and it’s a bunch of independent nothings won’t work. Youtubers will use it as a backup service, a couple of the real paranoid Linux types will host their videos there that someone might even watch, and half the instances will be places you go when you’ve been kicked off of Youtube.

  lolita.rape
  
  Deer god I hope that’s a hypothetical example. Then I remember I live in the worst timeline, and lose hope that you’re not just making that up.

    I don’t think .rape is a valid TLD, but as you say we’re in the worst timeline.
