Oh, ok, that was practically it. I just went in to test it yesterday, but had nobody to test with, hence the question about a channel/group. But after this video and a night of sleep, my brain finally caught up. This is not geared towards that, but rather exclusively p2p.
I’m sorry for my dumb question. And thank you again for clarifying.
Use LibreWold and/or Mullvad. Done.
I use the whole 365 suite, including cloud pc, provided by my work, on Fedora. I block a whole lot of stuff, and everything works, minus the annoying ads and pushy up sales.
YMMV, but I strongly suggest you start blocking crap at the hosts level, if something breaks, start unblocking.
Absolutely critical feature. I’m spoiled and cannot live without haptics.
Is there a channel/group to start on?
In that case, and please anyone correct me if you think I’m wrong, I would create a user just for that, entirely divorced from real life “me”, including, but not limited to, different country, gender, age, all demographics, and use this persona exclusively for this purpose.
Know that if you are expecting to monetize directly from YouTube, this is most likely an exercise in futility, but if you you’re not concerned with that, you’re golden.
I would make sure to upload always over a VPN, just for good measure.
Here’s the deal, YouTube belongs to Google, which makes the content inherently easy to find, unless YouTube doesn’t want it to be. That removes any possibility of you controlling who can see and who can’t.
Peertube is a completely different animal, you have much more control on who has access, in special if you self host.
My confusion with you post is that you say you want it to be hard to find, but at the same time you want it to be “successful”, what do you mean by that? What would make it successful for you?
Mind the compatibility with the instructions set. Armv7 apps will not work on Armv8 processors and viceversa. That makes it even harder to get the right modded apk.
Use a DNS out of your jurisdiction, preferably a privacy focused one, that issue will go away.

That’s hooker behavior right there.
As far as I know, Samsung and LG both do that. But I’m guessing every manufacturer that adds wifi connectivity does the same.
Privacy invasive everything, forced arbitration, TOS bait and switch.,etc.
That’s a real brain fuck. Now I need to go research this.
To the devil (Google).
No, I respect myself and you too much to say Brave. Mullvad and Libres Wolf. So, the fox while unfucked without a tail.
My gut is circular, that’s bullying 🤣
A VPN has it’s advantages, mostly to avoid your ISP snooping on you (while having to trust another party not to snoop) and giving you access to stuff in the internet that may be geoblocked.
A solid DNS provider with Doh or DOT will encrypt your browsing, so I also believe it’s better than a VPN, but I use both.
It’s a matter of not overdoing it. Do it one step at a time. I feel you on the ADHD, I am also diagnosed, and now I inly check Lemmy and Mastodon every now and then. My mental health has improved dramatically since I dropped all the mainstream social networks.
When I look at my gut, I ask myself the same question 😭
I did the same on a PC I built like 10 years ago just because “why not?” 🤣
They sold their soul. I don’t trust them farther than I can throw a fully loaded 787. On that same note, fuck Google, fuck Apple, fuck Adobe, fuck LG, I can go on forever.
Now keep down voting me, fuck those who do too. 🤣
We see these things differently. I would argue that Matrix clients are better organized than Discord. That said, not only is Discord a privacy nightmare, but ilthe interface is only pseudo-organized at best.
