i am reminded that if “social media” didn’t devolve we’d have organized and come together to solve (crisis upon crisis) already and politicians would’ve had a digital polling station and direct communication with the populace.
instead Facebook Twitter YouTube is what it is.
@bluemoon Pertube and Friendica are rather complicated tools. So I guess that tools with fewer options are more mainstream compatible. But seeing that people in general tend to use photo/video oriented platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, …), I guess that tools like Pixelfed and Loops would be more in the focus.
Pixelfed is easier to use so you’re right.
Peertube is fine but trying to find good content or a good instance is a struggle still. Frendica i’ve signed up for but really haven’t used (in fact I think the instance I signed up on is dead).
I mean I even run my own peertube instance and I barely use it because I just can’t find anything good to watch on it other than a couple tech channels that update once in a blue moon.
do you search PeerTube instances using the curated fedi.video or sepia search or another way?
I have used fedi.video and add/follow various instances I find to mine but I’m not sure if I don’t have my peertube configured correctly or what but it’s not pulling up anything decent.
