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

@_elena i suspect it's not just you, someone told me they had the same issue for a 3blue1brown video.
maybe YouTube infrastructure is just crumbling.@Yuvalne I just noticed I'm having issues playing all sorts of videos on YouTube from Vivaldi, so yes, it's not just me, ouf
-
@d1re_w0lf The good villain against the bad villains! Go @_elena
@dermoth haha thanks!
I'm too much of a softie to be a villain, but I'd happily be THIS KIND of villain
-
@_elena this person's comment feels like actual fascists calling other people nazis because they have the option to choose.
What a time to be alive.
@jsalvador indeed.
and please stop tempting me to make a new video about FEDERATED social media and what it means...

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 I love your video! Just have to say it again.
It works for me and I am behind a strict pi-hole and two active ad-blockers on Vivaldi.
But I got an overlay-message that roughly said "If you are having trouble watching the video report it <here>".
I could imagine that this is some kind of youtube filter to push down content they don't like to get more reach. Or an anti-ad-blocker strategy.
-
@dermoth thank you! good to know it's playing for you: out of curiosity, which browser do you use and do you have adblock on?
@_elena It was the yt app on Android. Usually I open videos in incognito on Chrome (Android usually, or on my computer), except from select accounts I'm familiar with. I just tested and it worked from Chrome too (incognito).

@themipper ah fascinating!!! Thank you for letting me know!
I'm also on Vivaldi (with strict "no ads, no trackers" settings) and I use NextDNS.
With NextDNS turned off I still I couldn't play the video, so I thought it might have been something to do with my Vivaldi settings...

@_elena as for Adblock, well there is no extensions in incognito, I have a pi.hole that block most ads but not yt ones.

@_elena actually one thing you should look for is the origin country, region locks are quite common on yt. It's Canada for me, but you may have checked my profile for it... I can try from the US when I connect to work (all traffic goes out a US proxy).
Edit: nope, I forgot to say where I'm from in my profile (I'll update it)

@_elena@mastodon.social the video did work for me with Pipepipe android client and Firefox with unlock origin. So this should not be a adblocking issues.

Apart from it being an utterly idiotic and ill-informed comment, what exactly was this person's problem?Excellent response from you!

@aerion I think I set quite a few people off with the section in the film about Big Tech oligarchs. They sadly have a lot of fans, le sigh

@Stomata thank you!

@_elena i donβt even properly understand what hes trying to say, especially the last sentence?
@lazyb0y

οΈ same here. I suppose he wanted to say that I and the Fediverse will be losers "if Big Tech buys us", with only Big Tech winning but he ended up writing the opposite. It's really hard to decipher -

@_elena What did the even mean by you being the "villain (cause) of all this"? Given that, I seriously doubt they're going to be able to comprehend your reply
-
@_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.
@davidlohner
The one thing that I just fail to get, is that federation needs to be explained to people, when it's a concept that pretty much everyone is familiar with.Have a (mobile) phone? You're federating. Have an email address? You're federating. Have an internet connection? That's federated.
People understand that you don't have to be on the same (mobile) phone network, with the same email provider, the same ISP, in order to communicate with others. Many daily services work, regardless of the provider you're with, where you can pick and choose and leave, without anything changing.
So why is it so insanely difficult to apply this concept to #XMPP messaging or anything on the #Fediverse?
It drives me crazy sometimes.
