Let me introduce SheepTube, my personal PeerTube instance.
Right now it's mostly old concert recordings, but let's see what the future brings.
The instance is fully federated, so you can like, comment, and interact with it directly from Mastodon and the rest of the Fediverse.
The link is available via DM only... because I can DDoS myself just fine xD
Maybe I'll share it. Maybe I won't.

They need to do it for the whole country. If Germany can do this, EU can do this, UK can do this. China has already done this.
Kick American tech firms out! ✊
Burnham could hoof Palantir out of the NHS if he becomes PM.
A good start, but he needs to go further. It’s time to completely break our dependency on US tech firms.
With open source tech, we don't have to start again with a new platform when changing vendors.
Go big, go for UK Digital Sovereignty!

That's 500 Mastodonians asking our local elected representatives to join the Canadian Mastodon community and take a leadership position in helping achieve #DigitalSovereignty. Typical email campaigns targeting individuals get results in 5% of campaigns, typically after 4 - 6 communications. That means if those 500 volunteers start today, we could have 25 more politicians on Mastodon by November of this year. Please use our resources and get started today.
Don't be jealous or angry about not winning in May in our #ProselytizingforPlushtodons contest. There are 2 more prizes, for June and July, and all it takes is a little effort. Start your own communications campaign to convince politicians to join #Mastodon and grow our Canadian community. As a reminder, here are the contest guidelines to help you in winning some great reading material and a new cuddly family member.

Spätestens nachdem die US Regierung nun Anthropic dazu veranlasst hat, einfach mal eben die beiden neuesten Models Fable 5 und Mythos 5 abzuschalten, sollte sich wirklich auch der letzte Mensch in Europa darüber bewusst geworden sein, wie wichtig es ist, von US-Firmen, die dem US Cloud Act und der Willkür der US Regierung unterliegen, wegzukommen.
Man stelle sich nur mal vor, die würden einfach mal willkürlich entscheiden, dass M$ Teams oder die Amazon Cloud nicht mehr von "Ausländern" benutzt werden darf, so wie sie es mit den Models von Anthropic entschieden haben.....
Aktuell wäre das der Zusammenbruch der gesamten Deutschen Verwaltung und 99% aller größeren Firmen in Deutschland.
