Comment on Is PeerTube dead or is discoverability bad?
roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 year agoHow about basic usability considerations? Nobody is going to switch if this is the user experience. And if no users are subscribing and interacting why would content creators spend time posting to it?
If people want it to be a thriving community than it needs functionality that makes it a community. I shouldn’t have to creat an account on a server I don’t want content from in hopes that I’ll be able to subscribe and interact with a server I do want content from.
I’m an established fediverse user, I have been rolling my own Linux servers for decades. I’m perfectly capable of dealing with imperfect systems. This is a shit user experience and if nobody says so it will never be fixed and peertube will wither and die.
Although I do understand the idea. but you really need to check your ego, mate.
Just offer help or suggest different ways than it is currently done. If you have the faintest idea of hosting and/or programming, this is not how to get your way.
So stop bitching and start working or shut the fuck up.
😆
That’ll show the big corporations how it’s done. I’m sure they’re shaking in their boots at a platform that demands their users are programers or live with how crappy it is.
You‘re avoiding my point because you know I‘m right. We dont want corpo apologists here. Foss software is dependent on cooperation. Cooperate or leave.
In any case, you’re leaving my feed now.
I’m an apologist because I’m capable of criticism. You’re no different than Trump and Musk.

It would be nice if we can just click subscribe. I know mastodon lets you do something similar within other mastodon instances. What I wouldn’t give for a better user experience…

Yeah it’s compounded by federation being opt in on PeerTube. It makes the server your account is on matter a lot more.
