With the recent false banning of tech channels, such as Enderman, I really want to find alternative platforms to watch tech content. I know a few YouTubers who have channels on Odysee, PeerTube, etc. However, I would rather watch them in a desktop app as opposed to a web browser.
Is there any desktop QT applications for Linux (ideally Arch BTW) that allow me to watch videos from a decentralized video platform, such as PeerTube? Ideally, it would use QT as I'm using KDE Plasma, but if they're aren't many, then GTK is fine too.
As a bonus: Something similar to FreeTube, which is what I use for YouTube. If it's something similar, it doesn't have to be QT as I know FreeTube isn't.

Have you look at https://github.com/futo-org/Grayjay.Desktop ?

Yep, GrayJay is it. They do have to use embedded chromium and did so within a C# application, which I cannot understand, but it does work well. They have a flatpak which works on all my desktops.

GrayJay is a youtube, twitch, peertube etc frontend that has subscription syncing across platforms! Although it's buggy on MacOS, and I don't trust it's privacy as much as freetube/newpipe, it's a good compromise for some convenience.
