Thank you. This project explains clearly why it's important to stop relying on them and what alternatives there may be: https://degooglisons-internet.org/en/ > Yes, we have to be available on fully free platforms, and I've asked the > infra community to look into PeerTube as an alternative to YouTube.

Yes, PeerTube would be interesting to add to share videos. Self-hosting on day one may not be immediately feasible, other existing instances may be used initially. Regarding Facebook, I am not sure how you measure that efficiency but we're past the point of naively believing it only has benefits, in fact it's the opposite. Look at the right column "Facebook in the news" at https://deletefacebook.com/ or "Reasons not to use Facebook <https://stallman.org/facebook.html>". Right now https://www.libreoffice.org suggests using Twitter, Facebook, G+ (which is effectively dead), YouTube and Reddit: 100% non-free platforms where anyone deciding not to use them can't contribute to spread the word. diaspora*, Mastodon, discourse and others could be considered as viable alternatives now, but I think it should be another thread and given proper discussion space. > I'll provide an update about PeerTube when I have more info! Thank you, looking forward to providing any help I can.
