Signups are already open, so give it a try! Note that you have to follow the link below to sign up, the button is hidden so we avoid signups from random people that find the site on Google (at least for now).

If you have some money leftover, please consider donating on Liberapay to cover the server cost. Right now the instance costs around 23 € per month.

We have published most of the configuration for our instance in the form of an Ansible playbook. If you are familiar with server administration, you can have a look at it, make a pull request or fork it to run your own instance.
If you have any technical problems with peertube.social, you should open an issue in this repo.
We are now at PeerTube v2.3.0!

how2 avoid youtube
1. Youtube provides RSS feeds. They're very useful.
They are in the form of https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=<channel ID>
2. mpv - and probably others - can open Youtube URLs directly.
3. On Android, there's a piece of software called NewPipe that parses YouTube webpages - and RSS feeds - to provide a more pleasant interface.
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.schabi.newpipe/
3. There's a Firefox addon that redirects Youtube pages to Invidious automatically.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hooktube-redirect/
4. If you combine these, you can avoid ever opening the site. I have a script[1] that decides whether to open mpv or a web browser when I click an entry in QuiteRSS for stuff I care about.
5. You can feed youtube-dl a channel or playlist URL and it will download the lot.
Bonus: not using the website will probably result in you wasting less time as you're not subject to their psychological warfare.

GreenFediverse is a directory of Fediverse instances with information on how environmentally friendly they are. You can follow the project here:
You can see the directory at https://greenfediverse.frama.io/green-instances/
The project uses data from the Green Web Foundation, and is mainly based on whether the instance's hosting provider uses renewable energy.

Peertube received around 27.000€ from their latest crowdfunding, but the lead developer thinks that I should invest my own time and money to implement working mod tools. Sure they have fixed some issues, but not nearly enough.
I wish someone would fork Peertube.
By the way, the issue that was closed as "irrelevant" is this one, which asks how to deal with Nazi instances. The answer from Framasoft seems to be "not at all".

We are currently doing maintenance on our test server, and it will be unavailable.
PeerTube.social is still up and running and will not be effected by this maintenence.
We are running Peertube 2.2.0 now!

Hello #peertubesocial people. I'm trying to find the best videos hosted on the peertube.social instance. Anybody got any suggestions ?
We have a test instance running at https://test.peertube.social/ . Would any of you be interested to get an account and play with moderation features or whatever? Just reply here.
Would any of you be interested in helping us with moderation on peertube.social?
The poll is over and even though there were only 21 votes, the result is pretty clear. So view counters are disabled again on the overview pages (you can still see the view count by opening the video page).

For a while now we had view numbers hidden on the overview pages, in a kind of experiment to encourage viewers that they dont rely on this metric alone when looking for videos. I changed it back now so that view counters are shown again. Which do you prefer?
Vielen Dank an @brombeerfalter für seine Spende. Schaut euch seine Videos an!
I updated the profile on #Liberapay. You can also get rewards for your donations now, like an increased daily upload limit.
