Happy #GlobalSwitchDay

It's not an alternate way to view Youtube, it's a totally separate service. You're not missing anything, if no one's using it to post content, then there's no content. Youtube is a tough one to compete with because the infrastructure needed to host that much data and distribute it is insane. Peertube is super niche and not many know about it, but I do wonder how fast scaling would become a problem if it suddenly got an influx of new users.
Apart from that, it has to compete against the content monopoly Youtube has on the video platform industry.

Bad on-boarding

Yes finding the right instance on peertube is a nightmare — and also the general lack of quality content, or subtitling, which makes it as good as useless for deaf people like me.
Yeah, it is already hard to find reasons to use it for the average user, so people with disabilities (deafness, blindness,intellectual etc.) probably even have reasons to NOT use them (no subtitles, each instance might have different elements or structure that might be a nightmare for screen readers, it might be too complex for some people, etc.).

That's why Signal's spreading and your not.

Right in the Signal box, it says "Or Matrix/XMPP". It's super tiny for some reason.

No ones paying for SMS.

Hey, wouldn't it be great if Signal still supported SMS?

This post did not contain any content.
Wouldn't Matrix be a better alternative to Signal, since it doesn't need a number and the main/default instance (matrix.org) is based on the EU? Maybe it has a too difficult learning curve to the average user, though

At least WhatsApp is encrypted and let you have propre group chat

That means very little to me. Actions speak louder than words, and it would probably help the development of loops if it was actually open source.

Personally I see no benefit in it.

How is it a ghost town if there is a new video someone posts like every 10 minutes?
Are you kidding me?
I thought it was more than that when I called it a ghost town.Imagine if in the entirety of Lemmy, in all channels of all instances, there was a total of 6 posts per hour, and none of them were in channels you wanted to subscribe to.

It's a scam, anti-libre software.

Matrix isn't fediverse though. It is Federated but uses its own protocol

Well, Signal isn't federated either, and doesn't have a fediverse-like technology like Matrix does...
