It would better to make peer tube super easy to use without needing to do more than cluck once on. A button and get going
The thing holding open source back is the gatekeeping. Developers could spend more time actually working with u.i experts to make things easy, but no. Rather make everyone think it’s some magic that requires 50 steps.
Make it easy to do business and give them a great product. That’s all that needs to be done. Do that foss community, and you’ll win.
Can you show me an example of gatekeeping in this space? I am not sure that word means what you think it means.
I mean it is open source, ANYONE can create a different UI and fork the code, which is drastic but an option.
Are you saying you have submitted UI improvements as pull requests to several projects and had them tell you they would not merge due to a desire to keep the UI the way they designed it?
Having to do most real things besides browsing the internet via command line on 2025
What are these “most things”? I haven’t had to use the command line on this laptop I am typing on since I got it a year ago. Files, music, shares, my own cloud storage on s3, photo editing, etc? What are “most things” to you?
And even if it was “most things” you are not showing an example of gatekeeping. Give me an example, such as you submitting a pull request for a GUI for a current command line only “most things” that was rejected.
I am being disingenuous? You make a very bold claim that people are “gatekeeping” open source software. You then claim that everything in Linux outside of web browsing requires the command line. I am completely serious.
All I am asking you to do is back up those claims.
Either you have a specific gripe that should be addressed, or you are just spreading bullshit online or trolling. Which one is it?

Working with you UX experts? You mean like hire them? With what money?
Otherwise, the UX experts need to step up and volunteer their services, just like programmers do when they create FOSS.
No. I mean consult and discuss with them.

Having to do most real things besides browsing the internet via command line on 2025 is definitely a sign of gatekeeping , imo. Yours may vary

now I feel your being disingenuous. Seriously. You have a good day. I won’t be replying
