YouTube has just changed its rules to allow hate speech against gender minorities 😞

usermag.co/p/youtube-removes-g

If you currently publish on YouTube, please consider putting your videos on PeerTube instead or as well:

Your audience doesn't have to be on PeerTube themselves. They can follow and interact with PeerTube from within Mastodon etc, and they can even follow PeerTube from podcasting apps such as Apple Podcasts.

User Mag · YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policyBy Taylor Lorenz

@FediVideo

I’ve wanted to get off YouTube for years now, but I’ve struggled with finding a suitable alternative. I haven’t found any potential hosts that would allow enough space for how much content I make, and the pricing and setting up to make my own would be too much. I genuinely want to, but don’t know how to make it work 💚

We can only do what we can 🙂

It's good to be aware of the options whatever you decide to do.
