@firesidefedi @davidrevoy For some reason, the VOD link isn’t working. Is it missing a top-level domain?
@moshimotsu@floss.social @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org Thank you! It should be tubefree.org/@firesidefedi
Talvez algumas figuras do Fediverso brasileiro? 🙂 Quem se candidata? Quem vocês recomendariam?

I purchasesd a web domain earlier. WatchIce.live . got the idea from folks saying they want to live stream and record them watching Ice. This is how far we've come in that I'm not comfortable putting my family in this position. So if anyone would like the domain, maybe host Peertube for others to stream to, I'm more than happy to hand it to someone and I'm even willing to help set it up. But I no longer trust my government and can't risk my family. Reach out if you're interested.
Once upon a time, I was very active on MySpace and then Facebook. Then things got really shitty, so I quit and joined BlueSky.
I felt horrible, like the smallest bit of the code, unrecognized, shouting into the void for robots and scammers. But it a good place, right? And then they banned trans people while bringing in the authoritarians.
So, I thought all social media is bad, and I should try and get a website going where I could shout at the void on my own space.
I came across @_elena and started playing around with PeerTube. I saw @firesidefedi talking about exciting things, connecting with real people, and rebuilding that good time I used to have being online.
It was exciting, but I wasn't sure. And then @TIBtv came on, and I was blown away. My people! There they are!
I hope other people like me quit lurking quietly and join in. It's fantastic here on the #fediverse
@darkwolf@hear-me.social as soon as I saw your stuff on Peertube I meant to tell you to reach out to @limebar@mastodon.social about getting it on @TIBtv@tv.theindiebeat.fm . It's great stuff.
And @_elena@mastodon.social is the best of us. <3

@firesidefedi
I think that you can subscribe to peertube videos via fediverse services and RSS is already a killerfeature itself. But your information was new to me. Thank you!
@dexternemrod@troet.cafe YUP. And I was just having a conversation on Piefed of someone talking about one of my videos on Peertube and they were checking WAFRN and troubleshooting and it was all there. 😄 Interop is getting better by the day. So excited. Now we need to figure out how to really start spreading the message, and happy to see shortcuts like this. 😁
@firesidefedi @limebar ha! This time you scooped me on an interview! 😋 Mine isn't scheduled until next week.
@firesidefedi I have the correct url for the feed so still the same problem.
Just to be sure, you still have the audio only version?
@michaelmathy@mastodon.online The audio version is gone. I was under the impression that the Podcast RSS could be used as an audio version or the standard RSS could. I haven't set up Castopod because it's a lot of extra work. But if you can't get it, then maybe I should reconsider it.
Super inspiring talk with @limebar and @firesidefedi https://tubefree.org/w/5KwJYR366Wj37EUP65vQfA
Mainly about The Indie Beat TV, but also about community building.
I really enjoy the creative people and projects around the fediverse!
Tune in to The Indie Beat TV at: https://tv.theindiebeat.fm/
@firesidefedi awesome thanks!
@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com Thank YOU! 😊 There's a registration page if you're interested. If you have any questions, do NOT hesitate to ping me. If you'd like to set up your own, or have me help set it up, or anything. We need to support each other. <3
@firesidefedi I really need to get on a PeerTube server. Thanks for the tip!
@alisynthesis@io.waxandleather.com I run TubeFree.org if interested. 😊
@firesidefedi If one does it may also serve to say 'and this is seen on Peertube first' even if the technicality is mere seconds.
@dobetterinstitute@twit.social OH! I LOVE THIS.
Has anyone realized that you could post your videos to your Peertube and have YouTube pull them in via the Podcast RSS Feed? Or am I the only one that didn't realize this?
Which means you don't have to upload to YouTube AND Peertube. You can upload to Peertube and YouTube will grab it for you.
This of course only applies to those that WANT their content on YouTube. If you don't, that's totally fine. I'm doing this to advocate for the Fediverse so I think it's a necessary evil.
@FediTips@social.growyourown.services were you aware of this? If not, I know you keep a LOT of useful info, I can explain howbstep by step if you'd like. This is the kind of thing g that makes this all easier IMO.
@fiend_unpleasant@mastodon.social Heck yeah! 😊 That's how we all get stronger! 😁
