Joinpeertube.org doesnโ€™t have the best onboarding, but take a look at the pinned post at !peertube@lemmy.wtf for a few good servers to choose from.

If it has to be explained in a post on another site then itโ€™s guaranteed to lose.

It has already come a long way and will continue to get better and easier; put in the tiny bit of effort required to help it grow.

Defeatism because everything isn't spoonfed to you and 100% on par with YouTube is actively harmful to the transition away from American products.

Until itโ€™s as easy as Reddit or YouTube then we are not going to meet critical mass. This isnโ€™t being defeatist, this is being realistic.

Yeah these are real problems that need to be addressed, not issues to say "nuh uh" and bury our head in the sand to

"man this email thing will NEVER take off"

this is how you people sound, seriously.
