From the toot:
Also a good time to look at the #PeerTube ecosystem for an alternative way to share moving pictures. Things Bending Spoons has bought and enshittified already: Brightcove, Evernote, Meetup, komoot, Remini, and WeTransfer.
PSA: The serial enshittifiers from Bending Spoons have bought Vimeo. Time to make sure you have your content backed up

Sam Reich and Dave Wiskus seem to have a good relationship. Hopefully they can help each other out.

A tech chop shop, they buy tech companies, lay off most of the staff and then hike the price as much as they possibly can.

Oh, they're the guys that Komoot founders sold out to. That sucks.

I've a friend who uses Vimeo as a host for imbed videos for her company. I won't be warning her because she's "all in on AI" and I don't think she'll listen to me on anyone enshittification related.

Does PeerTube have a membership/account access mechanism?
If not, I can't see how creators who monetize their content would be able to move in.

I think they would have to do external funding. I think peertube just solves bandwidth without building datacenters like YouTube. But also I’m not too verse with internet stuff.
