My pleasure! I'm still getting used to how best to browse it. It looks like you can do searches of all of peertube on this site: https://joinpeertube.org/browse-content
But in order to actually browse content, you usually need to go to a particular instance like https://the.jokertv.eu/ or also there's a list of instances here: https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances?sort=-totalVideos
It does sort-of feel like you have to look around or get lucky to find good instances, like trying to find good subreddits without the benefit of r/all. The fediverse is growing with Mastodon now though, so hopefully there will be more development on PeerTube soon.
EDIT: Some other fun stuff I'm finding on Peertube:
A collection of short films An instance for hosting a bunch of popular creative commons videos(?) https://vidcommons.org
^ I found out about vidcommons.org on r/peertube, which is the subreddit for peertube.
Some Christmas-themed videos:
A reading of A visit from St. Nicholas (the poem)
A Christmas cartoon compilation
If anyone else finds some cool stuff on peertube, I'd be glad to hear about it!

Archive is really fascinating to me
It's got tons of TV shows, books, movies, games, and so much more for download with almost no ads. I have no idea how they fund the cost

Agree. Internet Achieve is amazing. That and the Way Back Machine. Its so cool seeing how some of the biggest sites on the internet looked back in the day

Wait a second, friend...there is something you should know about the Way Back Machine. It isn't an unbiased repository of information. They arbitrarily scrub the archives of inconvenient truths from time to time. They recently scrubbed the internet of the past tweets of a notorious doxxer who harasses women and private citizens for tweeting politics she doesn't like under the guise of "journalism".

The article you linked doesn't even support your comment. It says she requested to have her twitter page removed from the Wayback Machine and they honored the request. You can do that. You can request they remove your data and they will do it. It isn't arbitrary, it was requested and honored. This is how they operate their service. You aren't even reading between the lines, you are telling a story that only exists when you blur all the old lines and insert new ones in between.
Also, personal thing, but fuck off with calling strangers on the internet "friend" in an effort to ingratiate yourself with them so they believe your misleading summary of the events surrounding a single Fox News article.

You should have read the whole article because they said they reached out to The Wayback Machine on their policy on honoring requests and denying request, and they refused to produce a policy. Sometimes the request is denied and sometimes approved. You've got to read the whole article.

Knucklehead they did not refuse to provide the policy, they referred Faux news to previously published information - which is sited in the article you clearly did not fully read. Find a legitimate news source and stop going to that shit hole that has admitted in a court of law they are not news, but instead entertainment. Ass soon ass you link to that cesspool anyone with a clue is going to shut you down, or just walk away laughing.
From the article you linked:
“On the Wayback Machine's user guide, it says content owners who want their sites excluded from the service "can send an email request for us to review to info@archive.org with the URL (web address) in the text of your message."
In a 2002 forum exchange with users, the Internet Archive elaborated on its policy, writing, "While we collect publicly available Internet documents, sometimes authors and publishers express a desire for their documents not to be included in the Wayback Machine… If the author or publisher of some part of the Archive does not want his or her work in the Wayback Machine, then we may remove that portion from Wayback Machine without notice."

Listen, you smooth brained troglodyte, the company said "we may" but didn't provide their policy on how these decisions are made. This is clearly a Twitter type of issue in which they honor request for "certain types of folks". If you're a member of the propaganda elite, the answer is "yes". If you're a small-town working man, the answer is "no". If you're an Antifa thug, the answer is "yes". If you're a boy scout, the answer is "no".

Reading for comprehension champ - again from your own source see below. It’s funny how you right wing dill holes don’t consider the fact that private companies can have any fucking policy they want and don’t have to answer to you dim witted ass munchers.
During an interview with CNN's Brian Stelter, Lorenz defended her story as being newsworthy and that Libs of TikTok should be publicly identified.
"This woman is shaping the media ecosystem and shaping legislation and public discourse around legislation. She's also talked about mobilizing her base to run for local school boards and is collecting email lists, which 100% are going to be used for political purposes. So this is a political force. This is an influential media force. The idea that this woman is not newsworthy is quite nonsense," Lorenz said, adding, "we should scrutinize anyone that has power in this country, anyone that's influencing politics and legislation and public sentiment in the media."

You remember that as Elon continues to remake Twitter into a free speech platform. You leftist ball sacks hate nothing more than free speech and letting people express themselves how they see fit.
>During an interview with CNN's Brian Stelter,
The disgraced CNN anchor?
>Lorenz defended her story as being newsworthy and that Libs of TikTok should be publicly identified.
And what she said is completely ridiculous. This lady was a private citizen who did nothing but retweet publicly available tiktoks to amplify their reach. Meanwhile, Taylor Lorenz is a public figure who thinks that her public tweets shouldn't be archived. Can't you comprehend the irony of that?
GonzoDeadHead t1_j1elu0n wrote
Elon and free speech is an oxymoron
Does it matter who they spoke to? Does the recipient somehow make a statement invalid?
No, because when you have a political agenda and are going out there spewing lies there is accountability. Similar to what is coming for your orange god.
Your false sense of reality and clear and obvious bias for bullshit are laughable, if not truly depressing for what little education you must have and no self esteem. Back to the basement dumbass.
Pleasant-Army2751 t1_j1f76ts wrote
You're right actually. I just reread all of your comments and it turns out that all of these things that aren't explicitly said or even implied are actually very true. You have a real knack for inference and deduction and I hope to get there one day.
I see now that the Wayback machine is evil. Probably one of our greatest enemies as a society.
I say one of our greatest enemies because I think we can all agree our main enemy as a society today, aside from the regressive left as I like to call them, is short men, mostly short white men. They cause so many problems in every facet of day-to-day life for us "regulars" that I can't believe we still keep them around. They usually smell bad and just kind of give me the chills to look at. Sometimes I pass by a short man on the street and I just can't help but feel a need to build a big wall and put all of those little freaks on the other side of it. Almost always ugly and small-brained as well. I can't think of a group more deserving of civilization-wide ire than those tall babies. Their bodies are like those of toddlers but they demand the respect of adults and they don't even realize how absurd that is. Absolutely laughable
Sorry for ranting in this comment, I just can't help that I feel this way and so does every woman I know, and I know so many women. I'm sure you feel the same way, and a guy like you probably knows a lot of ladies who're in the same boat, am I right brother? Just loathsome tiny little dumpsters waddling around. Make my skin crawl. Yuck

They accept donations to keep it ad-free. I throw them a little cash every year I borrow a book or look at an old website.

I partly just wanted to see if something hosted not on YouTube (but on an instance of the open-source alternative, Peertube) would work as a submission on this sub. I'm disappointed that Reddit doesn't seem to be able to play it without following the link to its own page.
I'm also excited to see that a bunch of people liked the video, which I also enjoyed. I love both The Internet Archive and the fediverse for making things more easily accessible and less easy to manipulate or exploit.
