I mostly agree with the criticisms of design. I'm endlessly frustrated that Mastodon was first on the block, but Blue Sky ate its lunch, for reasons that seem almost entirely to hinge on having been smarter about design. And even Mastodon was a huge leap forward from the characteristic quality of open source social media alternative sites that had existed previously. I still think in its own way Mastodon's design is quite impressive. But Peertube is dropping the ball, I think, compared to some other Fedeiverse projects. And peertube, I would say, is arguably one of the most important projects. When it comes to the joinpeertube domain, however, that follows a long-standing tradition of fediverse sites to use those as a jumping-off point to discover instances. I don't think that can be roped into the category of transgressions along the lines of the previous ones.
