SCOOP: YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy. "YouTube quietly removing ‘gender identity and expression’ from its list of protected groups is a major radical shift away from best practices in the field of trust and safety." usermag.co/p/youtube-removes-g…

Under the list of examples of hate speech provided on YouTube’s policy site, the line “[Protected group status] is just a form of mental illness that needs to be cured,” was also removed. usermag.co/p/youtube-removes-g…

Just a few weeks ago, the governor of Iowa specifically removed “gender identity” from the state's anti-discrimination protections, becoming the first state to make such a change. usermag.co/p/youtube-removes-g…

YouTube (and their owners Google) are evil. Time to look for alternatives elsewhere.

For what it's worth I've done a guide to publishing on PeerTube at fedi.tips/how-to-publish-video…

PeerTube accounts' followers don't need to be on PeerTube.

People on Mastodon can follow and interact with PeerTube accounts, so if you set up a PT account you can encourage your Mastodon followers to follow it too (fedi.tips/how-do-i-use-peertub…).

People can also follow PeerTube accounts from podcasting apps such as Apple Podcasts (fedi.tips/how-to-subscribe-to-…).

@FediThing
Could I make a suggestion on css styles for fedi.tips?

I think the font weight of the body text needs to be lighter. The default bolded font weight for body text is hard to read.

I know others are already saying this, but PLEASE folks start owning your content. Find a good #peertube instance or spin up your own. It integrates seamlessly with the #Fediverse.

@ozoned I tried before but does anyone...USE peertube? The instances were there but didn't seem worth using. I was going to try setting up torrents instead

The more people post videos, the more people use it. I've tried to highlight the best channels at the moment at fedi.video

The audience doesn't have to be on PeerTube, PeerTube accounts can be followed and interacted with entirely within Mastodon etc.

PeerTube can also be followed from podcast apps like Apple Podcasts etc.
