We created a new YouTube channel, and I'm one of the hosts!
We decided to make a series out of responding to comments on the @EUCommission social media accounts.

It would really help me out if you hit that like button and leave a comment about what subject we should do next (if commenting on YT is your jam, that is.)

you can watch it here:

I had to use TikTok for work for a while, and I tell you it was a huge relief when I got to delete the app. The algorithm really gets under your skin, the app is addictive, and the short-form video style fries your brain. (there's even research on this now)
Even though loops doesn't have many of these features, just the fact that it reminds me a little of TikTok gave me PTSD from that time I was a social media manager in 2020 making TikToks

I never used TikTok, though, but I know Reels from Instagram and Shorts from YouTube. And as I advocate for the Fediverse, I know that many, particularly many young people like TikTok, so I guess Loops is important for bringing more of them into the Fediverse.

THE interesting part, opposed to YouTube (and TikTok), is then when you comment (or like) via Mastodon, comments are still visible for everyone on PeerTube (or Loops).

I did make a loops account already, but then I remembered I kind of hate TikTok ๐Ÿ˜† so I wasn't feeling very inspired by loops because it just reminds me of tiktok.
I'm a horizontal, long-form video girlie

Thanks for the info.
If anything I'd probably start with a personal channel, to make sure I fully understand the thing before I even pitch this to my team. So don't hold your breath about this channel mirroring to PeerTube anytime soon. (we more pretty slow, we are a biiiiig institution, so many peopel sign off on everything)
So for now just expect maybe some personal videos popping up o peertube soon

Peertube supports large(r), heavy videos, Mastodon doesn't (only up to about 60 MB). Peertube servers are optimized for video streaming und buffering, whereas Mastodon servers are optimized for quick delivery and federation of posts.

First I wrote smth like: "find purple Hannah on Mastodon: hpod16"

And then I tried simply: "๐Ÿ’œ hpod16"

Both got deleted.

That's weird.... wasn't me who deleted it, I don't have the keys to that account yet (or else I would have been answering comments on the weekend)
Perhaps there's a filter that automatically deletes links? I will investigate

I havenโ€™t seen any comparisons, but my guess is that large videos are better with Peertube, while smaller ones work well on Mastodon.

There is also a huge difference in how the interface works. Peertube works like a video service, where I can browse a channelโ€™s videos easily. On Mastodon the video is always secondary.

I will look into it but no promises
This was conceived as a dedicated YouTube project, and we brought people in who are YouTubers, etc.
pS: dumb question time: whatโ€™s the difference between having a peer tube account and just uploading videos on the mastodon server you/I already have? Are there technical aspects to it?

@hpod16 I love you, but I'm not farming content for them. I learnt something you might find interesting in this convo started by the CNES CM who's asked her bosses if they can get Peertube or at least mirror it (easy?). Some Mastodon users even filter out posts w/YT links. I'm lazy/lowtech, I just put the songs in odesli to ditch the ads.
