Exciting announcement!

[veza85ue@eupolicy.social]

@rozeboosje No idea, but I see various people upthread have mentioned it, thosw who talk about mirroring it sound like they might know? @hpod16 I think you can also ask @peertube ? Coucou @peertube

[leanderlindahl@social.folkdata.se]

@dapper_11 @hpod16 @ui3o I think a European alternative like PeerTube will be just fine. #plus1 #fedifirst

@hpod16 @rozeboosje @Veza85UE There are quite large technical differences that affect how efficiently video spreads between servers, and that is less relevant to users. I haven’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 channel’s videos easily. On Mastodon the video is always secondary.

@hpod16 @fasnix If you need to get to know Peertube better, let me know. We helped some organizations to set this up: it’s just hosting and syncing works automatically in the background.

@hpod16 I commented on YouTube, mentioning "hpod16" (in an attempt to promote your Mastodon account), but it got deleted.

@Veza85UE @rozeboosje

@hannes99 @Veza85UE @rozeboosje
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

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@hannes99 @Veza85UE @rozeboosje
But thanks for commenting!

[rozeboosje@masto.ai]

@hpod16 @hannes99 @Veza85UE maybe Google are starting to feel threatened by the Fediverse. Good.

[hannes99@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 I avoided links on purpose

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

And then I tried simply: " hpod16"

Both got deleted.

@Veza85UE @rozeboosje

[hannes99@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 I didn't comment on the topic (yet), though. Maybe that's why.

@Veza85UE @rozeboosje

[hannes99@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 well, Peertube supports subtitles and custom video quality settings, Mastodon doesn't. 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.

@hannes99 @rozeboosje @Veza85UE

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

[hannes99@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 or maybe in the meantime try @loops first It's for short videos, mimicking TikTok.

@rozeboosje @Veza85UE

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@hannes99 @loops @rozeboosje @Veza85UE
I did make a loops account already, but then I remembered I kind of hate TikTok so I wasn't feeling very inspired by loops because it just reminds me of tiktok.
I'm a horizontal, long-form video girlie

[hannes99@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 as an example that is both available on YouTube and simultaneously on PeerTube, there's @funfacts

@rozeboosje @Veza85UE

[hannes99@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 https://tube.funfacts.de (channel)

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).

@funfacts @rozeboosje @Veza85UE

[hannes99@mastodon.social]

@hpod16 hahaha, I'm not that much of a fan of short, vertical videos, too, but I still use Loops a couple of times a week. 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.

@loops @rozeboosje @Veza85UE

[hpod16@eupolicy.social]

@hannes99 @loops @rozeboosje @Veza85UE
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
