Hey friends, I'm thinking of starting up an ActivityPub compatible server to host and share my own train videos with the Fediverse, and wondering: Of the two video-oriented softwares, which would be a better fit for my use case and easier to work with? The videos would be between 15 seconds and 10 minutes long.

Comparisons, pros and cons, and your experiences working with either would be appreciated. Thanks. @fediverse

PeerTube is YouTube. It's a general-purpose video streaming application.

Loops is TikTok. It's for short vertical videos and for people with the attention span of a squirrel who don't know that you can rotate phones sideways, and who are constantly looking for the next dopamine kick. Also, in terms of software maturity in general and Fediverse software maturity in particular, Loops is nowhere near PeerTube.
