Apparently my Fedi promo video is giving error messages on YouTube (shocker).

So I just logged on YouTube Studio for the first time in months to see what's going on... and found some interesting comments.

I'm not caffeinated enough to deliver zingers but I hope my response was adequate.

On the upside, I also saw a few comments of people who set up new accounts here, so yay.

As for the unplayable problem: no clue. But this is why I LOVE #PeerTube and on my website I'm using the PeerTube embed

@_elena You… you villain. 😆😂

@_elena

I'm pretty sure that FictionLiker, or whatever their username is, should definitely learn how to write. I have understood maybe 10% of their ramblings

[sturmsucht@mastodon.social]

@_elena what a douchebag. 🙄

[mensrea@freeradical.zone]

@_elena i don't know that that is an organic comment though

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@d1re_w0lf 😈

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@sturmsucht it honestly made me laugh... all good and tame compared to some other stuff I read on there

[davidlohner@higher-edu.social]

@_elena lolz at the comment.

I just installed my own #PeerTube for a side project.

@_elena it's fun that he didn't even see the video and still had to make this comment 🤦🏻‍♂️ Good reply, Elena! 👹👾

[donamasta@mastodon.social]

@_elena its now playing on YouTube.

[davidlohner@higher-edu.social]

@_elena still, we've to keep communicating what "federation" means for digital platforms. Users are so used to silos/big tech, that it's hard for many of them to imagine such thing as interoperability.

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@davidlohner absolutely!

I wish there was a great video explainer out there about this very issue. (Feeling a familiar temptation to go down another rabbit hole) 😅🤣

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@donamasta some people reported it may be a problem with ad blockers. Even I cannot play it in my browser Vivaldi 🤷‍♀️ now, it would have never been my choice to run ads on it... and I'm so curious what they may be. Of course I'm not touching a penny

[sturmsucht@mastodon.social]

@_elena the amount of "actually" reply guys is insane.

"aCtUalLy ThErE iS aN aLoGrItHm" 🙄

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@sturmsucht I would have expected nothing less 😂

[anarodrigues@front-end.social]

@_elena ergh, I hope you're okay regardless. It's 100% not fun to receive these things.

[sturmsucht@mastodon.social]

@_elena you should have complicated the video more so that its message is hidden behind being technically correct!

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@anarodrigues thank you Ana. Actually I promise you this comment genuinely made me laugh out loud and increased my love and gratitude for the Fediverse even more. So all good ❤️

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@sturmsucht haha yes

[donamasta@mastodon.social]

@_elena it worked on hardened brave browser mobile app.
