MODERATORS
A lot of comments mentioning platforms like Nebula. I feel in this climate we should be continuing to encourage decentralized platforms. As lemmy is to reddit, peertube is to youtube. You can add a support button with links to any payment platforms you want; librapay is a nice one that takes 0% of donations as the platform itself runs on its own donations by a nonprofit.
I've heard nebula is run by the content creators themselves. That in and of itself is a very desirable property for a platform to have.
I can't seem to see why, enlighten me please
Isn't it obvious, Comrade? The workers have seized the means of production and publishing of content.
I can’t seem to figure out peertube. I’ve tried a few different platforms and made sure federation is turned on but I’m not seeing many videos over 1-3 views
Try tilvids.com. PeerTube doesn't have much content right now, and it's mostly videos with 1-3 views.
