Up to you. I'm comfortable with:

- subscribing to lesser known / low profile / niche content creators
- pirating anything old, hard to buy, or incredibly popular (like people who make 100k+ per month on Patreon)
- avoiding AAA games altogether, with rare exceptions (those I usually buy, or they are F2P)

I'm also comfortable with pirating some content first and later buying/subscribing if I see I keep enjoying the content.

Support the creators who deserve support. Otherwise you will end up with nothing good to pirate, because all the creators who deserved support and made your favourite creations, starved to death (or got other jobs, effectively the same thing)

Your single act of piracy is not likely to make a difference either way, but on the other hand, your single act might indeed be the straw that breaks one particular camel's back. And collectively we have to take some responsibility for that. It's not even just about ethics (although it is ALSO about ethics), it's about self-interest. You can be an individual freerider if you want, but eventually the freeriders overwhelm the system and it shuts down.

Realistically there will always be plenty, plenty of games to pirate. But the key question is, will enough of those be good games, the really enjoyable ones that you want to play? The AAA slop and rehashes will never stop, oh they''ll churn and froth and lay people off and blame pirates but they're effectively self-sustaining, it takes money to make money and it takes money to lose money and there's enough money in the system to keep them churning out sequels and derivative "new IP" until the heath death of the universe. There will always be some good games to pirate and to play no matter what you do, no matter what we all do.

But it's not a binary condition whether our financial support or piracy matters. You vote with your dollars. Your dollars guide the AAA studios in their desperate chase to steal the dollars from us, and your dollars literally enable indie developers to continue their projects at all. If too many people are not rewarding the kinds of novel and well-made games they want to see from AAA studios, and not supporting people's passion projects that they've poured years of their lives into, you're not going to see as many novel and well-made games or passion projects like that happening, and odds are good that at least one of the ones you won't see happening will be one you really would have enjoyed.

Technically you rented that what you think you bought and when the licence expires the game,movie, etc. will be deleted from your library, best recent example is The Crew by Ubisoft and there was that whole debacle with Sony and their Discovery Channel licence where people lost a ton of documentaries, was later restored... mostly, but it showed how fragile this digital ecosystem is and why people turn to piracy eventually since you basically don't own anything you shouldn't feel guilty about it.

I pirate what's any good that I cannot find legally for streaming, as well as educational stuff that I want available should I and/or my family find ourselves without internet access.

Sometimes I'll go so far as to pirate things that I cannot find without ads(even with premiums*), but mostly if it'll let me see the first few minutes before playing an ad, I just live with it.

* The only reason I still have Amazon Prime is for the free shipping. I pay extra for no ads. I pay extra for HiDive. There appear to be things available on Prime with HiDive that aren't available on just Prime or just HiDive. Magically, those shows(Ranma 1/2, for example) have ads. WTF?

None of these companies have ethics. Why should you get hung-up in ethics for a victimless crime?

Hey, trust me on this one -- if you've got Amazon Prime mainly for the free shipping, consider dropping Prime & lumping your purchases together in orders of $35 or more to get free shipping.

Yes, the shipping is slower. Which is also more environmentally friendly & easier to fulfill, while also free.

You can save cheap knick knacks in a list to fluff up cheap orders. Mine involves Ti keyrings, I'll link later. You can always use more quality keyrings.

Two of my kids are working-age with their own debit cards, and have their amazon accounts linked to mine. My MIL's credit card is attached to my account, so anything she wants to order, she just sends me a link. My wife just straight-up has all my logins when it comes to spending money.

... All that, and paying for it once is easier to explain/deal with versus every order having to be >$35 . It's a pain to get my wife to actually order things she wants/needs as it is.

Basically, I would rather stop dealing with that company entirely, for ethical reasons, than put more thought into my dealings with them with each transaction.

You can be the judge of that.

First of all: Decide a code of ethics for yourself.

(Piracy is equivalent to going to a book store and taking pictures of the books as you flip through pages. Ask yourself: Is this ethical?)

And if that's okay for you, then:

Second: If action is unlawful, weigh in on potential consequences and then ask yourself if you want to risk the consequences.

Piracy is not murder, cops would probably be too lazy to investigate.

besides games

Yeah, same here. I haven't pirated games since I was a broke university student. There's simply no need to when digital storefronts make it easy to get the games I want in the format I want. Some even offer DRM-free offline backups, or in the case of Steam the games stay in my library even if the publisher decides to remove the title from the Steam storefront.

TV and movies are completely different from this, and so much worse. So many different streaming services, some with intrusive ads, and every one wanting their own monthly subscription. I shouldn't need to search "where is X streaming." Ever. Titles disappear from these services all the time. Even if you "buy" a digital movie or show, the rights holder can yank it back from you because... reasons?

TV and movie distribution is such a garbage deal for consumers that open source developers have created a complete software stack (the servarr stack) to automate the process of finding and downloading media. Once you get it set up, it's about million times more convenient than corporate streaming services.

TL;DR: Getting digital games is easy and feels like a fair deal for the average consumer. Getting movies and TV shows is a pain in the ass and feels like an absolute shit deal for the consumer. I'll continue to pirate movies and TV shows because as Gabe Newell famously argued, piracy indicates a service problem.

If it is a independent person I try to buy it in a way that they get most or all the money and I get files that are not DRM. It really a case by case thing.

You should only feel bad about pirating art made by small independent artists, and even then only if you don't have the disposable income to easily afford it.

Piracy is an actually victimless crime, you aren't depriving anyone of anything except your hypothetical dollars. And that's only a loss if you were going to spend them in the first place. Then add the fact that selling digital goods at all is basically a massive scam...

Also, in many cases it's actually better for the artist to donate directly to them than to buy their products from a store that's probably taking a cut.

If X was not available to pirate, would you pay for it?
If you would not have paid for X, does pirating X cause any actual loss to its owner?
If you would not have paid for it either way (even if that were the only option) and you haven't caused them a loss of revenue by pirating it, did you impact the creator at all?

The counter to this is always that just because someone wouldn’t pay doesn’t mean the creator’s work has no value.
To that I would yes that is completely true. The creator's work has value, but maybe not monetary value.
You can't always conflate value to money (ex. FOSS, canonical sci-fi lore, protest symbols, etc).

There is also a morality component used against my argument that would say I'm ignoring the intent, consent, and ownership the creator has.
Its usually worded that I'm using outcome-based morality and that the ends always justifies the means by that logic.
But I pay for X, not for access to use X.
If the creator can opt without my consent to remove X from me, I'm not longer obligated to follow that moral constraint. Morality is a two-way street.

If it's indie/small/mid-sized creator I'd like to see more of. They also sell vinyl and other merch which is rly cool

The US Supreme Court said it’s cool for LLMs to pirate shit for their garbage so it’s free game. Pirate everything. Support indie developers and artists though if you dug some of the stuff you pirated and have the means. I pirate manga all the time but still like having a lot of the physical copies so I end up doing that a lot even though they’re usually raking in money

The more you pirate the more hyped and disappointed you'll be about things you'd otherwise never have known about. It's a double edged blade. Your criteria grows. You spend less on highly advertised products and more on niche things most haven't heard of. But when pirating as an act of boycott you also risk growing attachment to the product or franchise you're pretending to sabotage. So if it sounds ethically correct to pirate something instead of purchasing it to harm someone in the production chain, don't do either. Most people will just preorder a collector's edition for another of their releases as soon as they forget or relax about what upset them. Piracy isn't theft, it's generosity, accessibility and preservation.

it depends.

I'm old enough to remember when PC demos were a thing and essentially if a demo didn't exist, the game likely wouldn't sell well. Hell there used to be entire websites that ONLY had demos for download of upcoming releases. So now game companies don't do demos anymore, I pirate the games as a demo. If it's something I think I'll play through and come back to in a month or two or even a year then I'll buy it. If it's an indie dev I'll buy it because I want to support them.

If it's something I'm no likely to finish or will finish and never pick it up again, high seas.

Music is different. I just soulseek everything. I'm not paying some crappy streaming service to then provide pennies to the artist. I can support artists I like via other means. Merch sales, going to concerts, etc that's where they get their money.

TV and movies? fuck em. I'm not paying for that crap when 9 times out of 10 something that I like is just going to get cancelled after 2 seasons. They don't need my money.

Books? nope, always pay for those.

Bias is inevitable.

It makes no sense to work to eliminate it.

It's like trying to breed a new species of humans that are void of preferences. An impossible task. If such a breeding process somehow succeded, the resulting product would not be a human anyway.

If anyone claims to be unbiased themselves, or claims freedom from bias for someone else, even just implying that someone somewhere is unbiased, I immediately know bullshit is afoot. Such claims are not always knowingly malicious, but are always detrimental to my interests should I start foolishly believing them.

Personally, I think it depends. For me, I like to pirate games that there's no way for me to legally buy a copy of and if possible are way too overpriced. Think multi hundred dollar retro games.

For media, I would absolutely support buying used media second hand. New physical releases tend to be worse than they were in the past in my opinion, so second hand or piracy feels like a good enough deal to me.

For music, I'd rather have physical CDs, if possible, rather than paying for streaming because I at least either support a local business I like to go to for CDs or support the artist directly. Laws be damned, I'd rather pirate music than give my money to the companies who financially abuse artists. Similar reason why almost all my CDs are second hand.

For stuff I have legally purchased, if need be I can just pirate them if it's a digital product. Otherwise I can back up disc based media I have. No idea how to do it for the Sega Genesis cartridges I have, though, so if need be I can pirate those as well.

Edit:

For games, I pirate games I don't own. For digital games I could find on Steam, I use it as a sort of demo for the game because majority of games don't have a demo and I need one to ensure I'm not throwing my money down the drain.

There have been plenty of games I've bought because the "demo" was enough to make me wanna buy the game to support the devs. Latest example being Dungeon Clawlers.

From my personal ethics standpoint, intellectual property is a form of private property which I'm against, also a form or artificial scarcity, which I'm also against.

If you want to support a small artist? You can maybe donate to them directly? Is that a thing? Maybe they have a patreon or something? In my case I have way less money than the artists I consume from so donating would make no sense.

Also, the act of making a copy doesn't remove the original, the artist doesn't get poorer because you pirate their content.

I generally make sure to spend my money one contemporary artists or authors (who are not already filthy rich, if they are already super well-off i dont contribute to increasing that wealth and instead buy something else) and try to maxmize the amount of money that falls to them. You could also find ways to donate directly to these artists and then pirate their stuff to your hearts content (from my ethical point of view anwyay, law will not agree with me). Ive also first pirated stuff and then bought it later and just replaced the files on my media server.

I dont really care about big corporations or some random rights holder long after someones death. So any big studio movie or old rock bands get pirated.

You do you.

I try to stick to Indy games and pay for them. I have d+ nf Hulu atv and cable with all channels that aren't premium. I keep copies of any series/movies I like. If they lose the license or drop anything I'm not losing it. VCR rules, I paid to play it, I can record it/torrent to get it.

Stuff that's not on the air anymore, of I can't stream it paying that much, also not gonna feel bad about torrenting.

Qwest network had a commercial in 99.

Guy pulls up to a dirty motel in the middle of nowhere

“What kind of rooms you got?” “King size.”

“You got room service?” “Donuts and coffee.”

“Got entertainment?”

“All rooms have every movie ever made in any language, anytime, day or night.”

By now we should have that for a couple hundred a month. Definitely for less than I'm paying for all those services. Wanna put a limit on that? Everything over 6 months old is on it. But there's no reason outside of massive greed to get to the state of fracture where at with service provision.

I have apple Music and Spotify, I'm also keeping copies of music.

Books are a mix, I pay for new audiobooks from authors I like, I buy hardback for newish stuff I really like,

Old stuff, classics, textbooks, stuff with the rights going to an estate I pirate.

More or less, I want to pay a reasonable price that I can bear to make sure my authors in studios actors keep making new stuff. If the fat cats eat it all, I'm not giving them more.

Piracy isn't stealing regardless.

Stealing is to deprive someone of something they posses.

It's not possible to possess something that doesn't exist yet. Your copy doesn't exist until you make it (by downloading the file).

If you chose to not support creators by paying to copy thier work, that's maybe unethical but it's not stealing.

If you hack into a Sony server and copy an unreleased film, then delete their copy, that is maybe stealing. Anything short of that is just copying.

Finland rejects chat control proposal: Finds it unconstitutional

Finland has now joined the ranks of Austria, Poland and the Netherlands in rejecting chat control, the proposed EU law that would threaten encrypted messaging and eliminate privacy in private communications.

The Ministerial Committee on EU Affairs elaborated on its previous positions and noted that Finland still considers it very important to establish an EU-level legal framework to improve the detection, reporting and elimination of sexual violence against children in the EU. However, Finland cannot support the most recent compromise proposal because it contains a detection order that has been found problematic from a constitutional standpoint.

We need more resistance against this incredibly dangerous law - we cannot allow totalitarianism to creep in through a phony "save the children" narrative. If they wanted to save the children they would start with what is happening in the open at Instagram and Tiktok, not by attacking secure channels of communication.

chatcontrol.eu contains some information about how you can pressure your representatives to oppose this law.

A lot has been written about "ai", decades and generations ago. I'm not sure if anyone considered the impact on human emotions in a manner that's toxic and widespread.
I'm just thinking of a future story where a portion of the population are so traumatized by conversations with machines that they escape their realities in various ways. People talking with computers as if they're human seems very dystopian from the start. The next ten yers is going to be wild.

But also, this is a damn good start to the Thought Police. Imagine if a government gained access to these logs. Actually, I'd be surprised if the US govt didn't already have access to twitter. They're already cracking down on free speech that criticizes them / him.

➤ CERT-FR Avis (vulnerability.circl.lu/recent#…)

We were impressed by the excellent quality of these feeds (and the descriptions), which allowed us to automatically extract impacted products (CPE vendors & names) and references to enrich our #Kvrocks indexes (see screenshots).

Correlations

As with all our sources, advisories from CERT-FR are now automatically correlated with the other 27 (!) sources available on the CIRCL instance:

vulnerability.circl.lu/about

Examples of correlations:

➤ Related CVEs for a product from Ivanti from the “Alerte” CERTFR-2024-ALE-013: vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/CE…

➤ CVE-2025-9478 - vulnerability in Chrome: vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/CE…

Sightings

You can already find sightings tied to CERT-FR advisories. For example, the sightings related to alerts published in 2025: vulnerability.circl.lu/sightin…

Sofia Mayor Vasil Terziev Joins Istanbul Rally Supporting Imprisoned Opposition Mayors

Sofia Mayor Vasil Terziev attended an opposition rally in Istanbul, showing support for the detained mayors of Turkey’s Republican People’s Party (CHP). Terziev was present in his capacity as chairman of the B40 Balkan Cities Network, alongside Jaume Collboni, vice-chairman of the Eurocities Network and mayor of Barcelona. Both joined the guests on the rostrum at the event, held in the center of Istanbul to back imprisoned Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu and other arrested CHP officials.
The rally, titled “The People Stand Up for Their Will,” was broadcast live on opposition channels HalkTV, Sozcu, and Cumhuriyet TV. CHP leader Özgür Özel introduced the European guests from the stage, noting that a delegation of ten European mayors and representatives from various cities would engage in discussions throughout the day. The delegation plans to present the “Special Democracy Award” to İmamoğlu, currently held in Silivri prison, and will make statements following meetings with him, including a visit to the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality.

The delegation, which included four Balkan mayors from Sofia, Bucharest, Athens and Zagreb, intended to meet Imamoglu on Thursday to show their support and present him with a “special democracy award” in prison. But Turkish authorities vetoed the visit, and no official explanation was given for the decision.
After being prevented from visiting Imamoglu, the delegation held a press conference in front of the prison, handing the democracy award instead to Imamoglu’s wife, Dilek.
“European mayors are speaking with one voice. We are a force for democratic resistance. We will continue to stand together with our colleague Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu. His courage in defence of democratic principles inspires us all,” said Barcelona mayor Jaume Collboni, who is also vice-president of Eurocities, an alliance of larger European cities.
Sofia’s mayor, Vasil Terziev, also spoke, expressing the Balkan Cities Network’s support for Imamoglu.
“I stand here as president of the B40 Balkan Cities Network, a network established by Ekrem Imamoglu. The gates and walls of this prison are not only a barrier for one man but also for the will of millions of citizens of Istanbul who elected their mayor,” Terziev said.
He said that Balkan mayors also face judicial pressures and political imprisonment in their own countries. “An attack on a democratically elected mayor is an attack on all democratic institutions regardless of the country. That is why our solidarity with Imamoglu…is a democratic and moral responsibility,” Terziev added.
Apart from Collboni and Terziev, the delegation included Zagreb mayor Tomislav Tomasevic, Athens mayor Haris Doukas, Timisoara Mayor Dominic Fritz, Utrecht mayor Sharon Dijksma, Budapest mayor Gergely Szilveszter Karacsony, Paris deputy mayor Arnaud Ngatcha, Madrid international relations general director Jose Francisco Herrera Antonaya and Eurocities secretary-general Andre Sobczak.

After 2 Million AI Orders, Taco Bell Admits Humans Still Belong in the Drive-Thru

Fast food companies have been experimenting with integrating artificial intelligence into their restaurants, from Flippy the burger-flipping robot at White Castle to dynamic pricing at Wendy's. One arena where AI seems to really be struggling, though, is at the drive-thru -- and Taco Bell is the latest to experience AI mishaps at the order box. After taking 2 million orders with AI, Taco Bell has reached one conclusion: we still need humans.

"The Unforgivable Sin of Ms Rachel" - Lindsay Ellis' in-depth analysis and call to action on Gaza

The entire thing is worth watching, but some of her concluding thoughts:

And the truth is, I don't know. As with all modern famines and all genocides, what this boils down to right now is a very small group of people in positions of power needing to make different choices, basically needing to be different people, which won't happen. So the reality is there is not much we can do. But I do not want that to be mistaken for saying that we should not do what we can.

[...]

Second, I don't think constant international attention, the increasing international attention is doing nothing. The fact that focus has stayed on this issue in the news could make the difference in saving a lot of lives. In the words of one Holocaust survivor:

Today's marches are having a very hopeful aspect. It is so large, so persistent, so global, that eventually the Western leadership, which are trying to deny what is actually going on, will be forced to face up to it. And I think we are not far from that.

[...]

I am personally exhausted that the fact that this even is a controversy in the first place, that we here in the US are in the position of having to claw back rights that most of us took for granted our whole lives, but it must be done. We can't do everything, but we must do what we can.

FWIW, I gave YaCy a try a while back, and I agree with the article on that one. Shit tier results that make ancient AltaVista look good. Might be fine for intranet search. I like the idea of its distributed hosting, but pass on this one.

Other poster mentioned SearXNG, and while I haven't delved into that too much, it's probably worth a check. Pass on YaCy.

I really like Yacy's results, personally. It seems good for the kinds of sites I care about. My biggest problem with it is that the newest version is so memory-hungry.

From Anti-Wokeness to the Confederate States of America

The campaign against ‘woke’ is no ordinary culture war skirmish – it is a project to restore the violence of slavery and white rule.
This is what the anti-woke state is — the plantation: white supremacist America under the occupation of more open white supremacists. There is no daylight between the campaign to end wokeness and the desire to see Black populations suffer, however much anti-wokeness is presented as the reasonable middle ground between the extremism of both sides — the Ku Klux Klan on one side and the bodies they hung from trees on the other.
The anti-woke in power immediately set about resurrecting their shrines to the sex traffickers of Black children and merchants of Black flesh. They immediately set out to curtail Black liberties and reverse performative efforts to reduce police shootings — however insincere. Being woke has always meant being attuned to anti-Blackness and resisting the society of white rule — which is why it is hated the world over. The colonist leaders who have shaken hands in agreement that anti-wokeness is the new paradigm, from the conservative former grand wizard to the progressive governor, have all meant the same thing: to see resistance ridiculed and dismantled.
The people who decry wokeness are no different from the people who decried Emancipation. What, indeed, was the abolition of slavery to a Confederate, other than woke government overreach? What was the integration of restaurants and schools to the segregationist other than woke corporations and DEI gone mad? What the 19th-century Redeemers sought, what the millions-strong 20th-century Ku Klux Klan sought, and what the 21st-century MAGA movement seeks is the restoration of the whipping post.

Really moving piece on the road that MAGA is leading us down.

Privacy is Power. And You're Giving Yours Away

Privacy isn't about hiding secrets - it's about power. In this video, we explain why thinking you "have nothing to hide" is a dangerous misconception, especially in our ever-connected digital age. Taking back your privacy is easier than you might think!

Hey everyone a shorter video this week, but still an important one. We do have a larger project in the pipeline about browser fingerprinting which will be coming soon.

Let me know what you think about the video - it's focused more on connecting with people who aren't aware about privacy invasions and the detrimental effect not caring about your privacy can have.

Fediverse still going strong and stabilizing

Fediverse seems like its stabilizing: fediverse.observer/dailystats&…

(and these are the servers that allow the crawler from the observer, so its highly likely the numbers are much larger).

We are seeing:
- A small decrease in users on Lemmy: lemmy.fediverse.observer/daily…
- And a small increase on Piefed: piefed.fediverse.observer/dail…
- Peertube is up in total users and stabilizing in active users: peertube.fediverse.observer/da…
- Mastodon is all over the place: mastodon.fediverse.observer/da…

Overall pretty good! Keeping the momentum going. Thanks everyone, whichever platform/instance you hail from!

Fediverse still going strong and stabilizing

Lemmy could use more OC in niche communities.

Most posts are links to other websites.

It might be good to try and post OC from Lemmy or the rest of the Fediverse to mainstream social media sites as a form of exposure.

Maybe we can get this type of idea to become more common here.

Lemmy is a link aggregator. Reddit is as well. Sure, Reddit has started to generate a lot more OC over the last decade, but it took over a decade for that to pick up momentum and gain millions of active users. I don't want a mindless cesspool of half-assed OC. I mostly just want an easy one-stop-shop for news, memes, and discussions.

It didn't take a decade for OC on smaller communities. I've been using Reddit since 2009. There was plenty of OC since ~2012.

i think OC started to increase after 45 1st term, thats when people really jumped into social media for all the drama and content, and then found more drama(like livestream, and youtube,,,etc). i unkowingly used reddit(dint know it existed) around '13-14 ish for a console game. only til drumpf was elected then i moved over, before that i was still on Y'a answers enough.

I would say Reddit became mainstream in 2015 with over approximately 100 million users. That's when I started noticing the quality of comments start going down. That's when people stopped having discussions and started bickering more. Before that it was a lot less hostile and the topic of discussions were more fun and informative.

There was also a lot of OC at the time. You just needed to join subs in order to see it. But it was there.

thats when all the bots started, plus they were banning "QUESTIONABLE" subreddits they dint have a problem before, until the republicans started targeting social media.

the bannability also became pretty harsh around that time.

ok. so i’ve got around 30tb (and counting) of live music recordings from a small club that hosts national touring folk and americana acts. i would LOVE to have it accessible somewhere other than youtube with all the fukin ads, but i am not sure how to go about making them peer tube accessible.

the instances that i’ve looked into have pretty low caps on storage and for clear and understandable reasons. but that leaves me in the lurch. i’m not able to set up my own instance as the recordings are ongoing and that takes all my available time and resources.

anyone have some knowledge that it don’t?

long live the fediverse.

It's not in the fediverse as such, but if you want long term storage that isn't YouTube, how about the Internet archive?

in reply to turdburglar • 1 settimana fa • •

You could upload the files to a S3 bucket, which would give them a url on the web. Then just make a PieFed post which links to each MP4 file.

Piefed will detect that it's a video post and embed it in the page with player controls. If you use a community just for your videos then the RSS feed of that community will effectively be a podcast.

S3 buckets are pretty cheap but 30 tb is still going to cost you. Transcode to a smaller file before upload, ideally.

thanks for that. i’m currently saving up for more drives to create the second copy of the 1-2-3 backup scheme. the gang of 2tb ssd’s are all i’ve got aside from the compressed-to-fuck youtube copies. that’s been creating quite a bit of anxiety for me being in charge of so many other peoples artworks.

we started in 2020 and do 6-10 90 minute shows a week, so it’s a lot to be responsible for. of course they aren’t all gems, but imo they all do deserve to be part of the larger document of this time and place.

if anyone is interested the youtube videos are made searchable on livefromnorfolkstreet.com/

click on the ARCHIVE link in the nav bar. no paywall.

i’d recommend the alejandro escovedo shows. he’s always great and i did the live lights for a few of his shows.

Having spent about 2 years on Lemmy, I made the commitment to ditch YouTube in favor of PeerTube.

At first, it may look like there's mostly garbage and then some privacy enthusiasts, but that's only because recommendations and search are not very powerful compared to other platforms.

PeerTube is home to troves upon troves of high-quality original content on various topics, you just have to look for it. And for your YouTube-exclusive needs, there are instances that mirror popular channels.

Give it a spin!

What the other commenter said, look for these instances, especially TILvids

Other than these, some specific recommendations:

Gardiner Bryant (gbryant@subscribeto.me) - tech YouTuber dipping toes into PeerTube
Oh The Urbanity! (ohtheurbanity@video.canadiancivil.com) - urbanism and sustainable development
ASMR of the Fediverse (asmrfediverse@peertube.wtf) - self-explanatory, ASMR videos specifically produced and released on the Fediverse. Exclusive high-quality content!
Making Waves/Roots and Calluses (makingwaves@video.katehildenbrand.com & katehildenbrand@video.katehildenbrand.com) - personal/professional blogs of a marine biologist Kate Hildenbrand, both very worth a watch
Veronica Explains (veronicaexplains@tinkerbetter.tube) - a very cute and non-typical Linux channel from a veteran tech enthusiast
Films (films@fedi.video) - old but gold public domain films
Historical Shorts (historical@fedi.video) - some more tapes from the past

Tankies are among the most active contributors not only to content, but also to the platforms themselves.

Lemmy, the very platform you're currently on, is made by one.

Depends. I specifically targeted the users saying things like “omg, Reddit is dead. RIP. Where shall we go now?” And “If there were an alternative I’d switch in a heartbeat” or “that’s it, I’m leaving. This was my last straw”. Basically users that genuinely sounded to me like they were looking for something. Not that they ever got to see my response.
