It would be so fucking cool having our “MLtube” free of corporate censorship, just think about all the shitposting about Stalins spoon. *oh, and video essays and theory too yeah. *
I think especially with YouTube videos and their goal there is a line that needs to be walked between having a space where we can say what we want and being on a platform where you can get a lot of new eyeballs on your content. Despite the corporate algorithms, shadow banning, etc the great thing about YouTube is that almost everyone that can access the internet uses it. While having an MLtube would be cool, if 95% of the people you’re reaching are already MLs, is the work you’re doing really productive compared to Hakim who has probably had over a million liberals see a socialist message?
On the other hand, it would be great to be able to direct someone new to communism to a dedicated ML video site so they don’t get exposured to socdem breadtube videos.
As we have both reddit and lemmy (reddit to shake and convert, lemmy to discuss seriously) we should have presence both on YouTube and on the eventual MLtube
For anyone who wants to take it upon themselves to create an ML specific PeerTube instance: Make sure to give the Server a lot of storage space or at least have it so scaling it up is trivial.
Videos, especially with high resolution and high framerate, take up a lot of disk space. Even if you use a filesystem with native compression support (ZFS, BTRFS) you gain almost nothing.
Storage space is usually the reason why some PeerTube instances have restrictions on letting people upload videos.

Is there an ML friendly PeerTube instance?

I tried searching for some but to no avail.

I think I’ve come across this before. I haven’t explored it much, but from the name “breadtube”, I imagine it may not be ML friendly.
