I watch YouTube when I eat etc. I pretty much solely watch gameplays. Is there any alternative? Or an opensource way to view YouTube? I don’t want to use Twitch because Amazon and I grew out of enjoying streamers in my late teens and it’s been a while since.

Edit: I don’t ever use it on mobile. Desktop via Firefox only.

    Peertube is simply not good however. I encourage people to try it but it’s just not even remotely close to YouTube content.

    For now I think Newpipe is a much, much better choice.

    I think Lemmy is good enough to replace Reddit though, which is why I’m here so much. :)

      I agree that it’s not fully “there” yet, but it won’t get “there” without users engaging with the videos. I try to use PeerTube for any YouTube creator I enjoy that uploads there. For example, Linux Experiment has started uploading there so I’ll be tuning in weekly to see his news updates.

      Let’s still support upcoming platforms where we can :)
