I understand your point. I suspect the main advantage the post isn’t making clear is that PeerTube doesn’t have the same ensnaring algorithm that YouTube does, so it doesn’t keep you endlessly watching the next video or at least suggesting another video to you.
I honestly find this a negative which is spread around carelessly as a positive. On Peertube I see zero content except linux. On Mastodon I can only either find that one star trek dude, linux and foss dudes, or libs complaining about politics. Lemmy is easier to find stuff but has very little content.
I've let go of all other google and social media formats but youtube has actually good content and honestly a good algorithm. I search for something I want or watch something from my youtube rss feed then it recommends what I want. I have ads and tracking blocked. I only get the content I want.
I can't say the same for most of the fediverse honestly.
I think that’s kind of an advantage of a lot of fediverse alternatives is they’re comparatively “boring” in that they force you to be more intentional.
That's honestly just showed me how pointless it all is...
I'm so sorry! I still run unraid on media server before I knew better. I highly recommend a basic linux server with portainer for docker. It is much nicer and honestly easier. You can run portainer on unraid for docker compose btw!
Idk what material science is but it doesn’t sound like nutrition.
As someone getting their PhD I know a lot about my very specific sub topic in a very small field but that’s it. Who even has time to really know anything else? So point being highly educated people can still be bozos though they should have better research skills.
Fully agree with you, ethos is much better than reality. What do you use instead then?
