This is one gem of a blog. Visionary and pragmatic.

PeerTube is really impressive. It's been a great place to post all our Dot Social videos because anyone can follow [@dot_social]( ) and then comment and repost our episodes using any ActivityPub compatible app/platform. Rather than relying solely on the YouTube algo for discovery, these videos get discovered via a myriad of ways that are for more organic and sustainable. Anyone who cares about getting their videos discovered and building an audience they actually own should also be posting their videos on PeerTube and getting folks to follow them there.
