If it's related to privacy, post it here. In the past you could be attacked for posting a YT link instead of a Piped link but Piped is long dead so you should be fine now.
When I remember to, I try to add a message in the post body recommending Freetube combined with Libredirect, since that still works.
Thank you for this explanation, because I was not picking up what that Title was putting down
I see you've already posted it, but YouTube links should be fine. Traditionally, it was better to post Invidious links; but thanks to Google, this links don't tend to keep working for too long these days.
On the other hand, if a video also exists on media.ccc.de or PeerTube, that would be the preferred option. YouTube is still acceptable, though.
Folks who want to view the video using a third party client could always just copy and paste the link, so I don't see any problem
I have automatic redirect (with the LibRedirect-plugin in Firefox) of any YouTube-links so that they open in Freetube. Set up on my phone as well, and it works nicely.
I do the same, its super sick, except that it still leaves an empty gray tab
Libredirect is awesome.
I wasn't sure about posting videos in general
