Hmm, if you go the the instances list on joinpeertube.org, and hit "display" or "no opinion" on the "Sensitive Videos" filter, you don't have to go down more than a couple before seeing awful white nationalist content instances :|

I don't think this is that relevant. It's like saying the web is full of shit. It's true, but should we throw the baby out with the bath water? I host a PeerTube instance for my choir and I don't quite care about the existence of PeerTube instances hosting questionable content. I didn't enable federation though. Still hesitant to do this.

  Perhaps I should have added more to my comment. I love Peertube and it is very valuable software. I just question if the joinpeertube.org website shouldn't blacklist some of those from appearing on their website. Having such links there definitely wont increase the likelihood of your average content creator using the platform.

    Ah, so they should blacklist things you don't like. Well, while they're at it, there's plenty of stuff out there I don't like so let's blacklist that as well. I'm fairly sure there are things out there which neither you nor I would want to blacklist but which should be banned according to others who don't care about our blacklists. Maybe the current system works after all? Just don't visit those instances you dislike, this is what I do. Give people the option to choose for themselves whether they want to partake of material which you or I or my neighbour or his dog finds offending.

      I was just suggesting that they not link to white nationalist content their website. The website that is the first result of searching for "peertube" in duckduckgo or Google.

        I'm just suggesting they not link to communist / AFA-anarchist / black supremacy / radical identitarian / man-hating / ... content on their website.

        This thread has been fascinating to read. Do you literally not see the problem with what you keep saying?

        What is the problem with what they keep saying? They don't want to send their would-be viewers to a site that promotes white nationalist content on their home page. Who would, besides racists and edgelords?

        Free expression and dialog is how we grow. Who would be against that?
        notreallyserio 5y ago
        Exactly how does dialogue with white nationalists help the rest of us grow? Their goals are to remove, silence, or destroy people that have different immutable characteristics. How do you suppose that impacts free expression?
        janto 5y ago
        At the very least, through dialog, if you are wise, you will recognise these goals in yourself as well.

    It sounds like they do exclude those but you specifically asked for the unfiltered list?

I don't care what's on PeerTube's front page any more than I care about what's on YouTube's front page (ie. not at all), since I always just search for what I want.
