That is correct. That said, audiences on PT are significantly smaller than on YT and, as I explain below, you will not move the needle in any significant way regardless of your decision. > What's your thoughts on that? Do you think we exclude folk from seeing it by > sticking to YouTube? Definitely. There are whole swathes of the Free Software Internet where links to YouTube are banned. And then there are the members of the public who will not watch YT out of principle, because of the invasion of privacy, the annoying ads, the terrible community, etc. The way to reach that kind of audience is through platforms like PeerTube. Conversely, people who follow you on YT are not suddenly going to jump to PT just because you post there too. They are on YT because of inertia, convenience, they follow more things, they have their own channels, it is what they know, etc. The idea that just because you post to PeerTube, you are suddenly going to lose views on YT is not based on reality and not based on evidence either, mainly because there is none. I can say that posting to PeerTube is probably a smart PR move if you want to ingratiate yourself with Free Software community members. Other communities don't care and will be fine with YT, but posting to PT shows awareness for the principles of many users and developers. It is a bit like adding vegan options to food served at an office party, or respecting other people's pronouns. You already have a KDAB Mastodon account, the next step is to have a PT account and link both. (By the way, your KDAB Mastodon account is not verified. You should look into that). As mentioned some time ago, I can set you up with a channel on the KDE-and- friends instance at https://tube.kockatoo.org . I can make it look similar to what you have on YT and make it so it virtually manages itself, as anything you post to YT will automatically be replicated on PT without human intervention. I can then hand you the keys and you do your thing and see insights on each video if you need it. Insights are not as comprehensive as on YT, but are probably enough for most needs (see attached screenshot).
