"@yausername put much effort into adding a fourth service to NewPipe: PeerTube. In case you do not know PeerTube, one can describe it as an open source decentralized video streaming platform.
NewPipe supports most of PeerTubes native features like searching, playing and downloading videos or reading comments. There is one structural point which differs PeerTube from all other so far supported services. Because PeerTube is decentralized, there are houndreds of instances available in the fediverse. We choose to use FramaTube as default instance, because the main organization behind PeerTube is the software developer Framasoft. NewPipe allows you to select the instances you like and add them to your personal list. You can switch between them seamlessly."
it is? while activity pub projects are certainly gaining tranction, aren’t they still representative of a really tiny fraction of all users?
They still only represent a small fraction of users, but people are migrating away, specifically from Twitter, in droves! For a period of time maybe a month ago, there was a trending hashtag in Spain that was all about leaving Twitter for Mastodon. There was also a similar thing going on in India a while back that made the news!
