Pewds has been dabbling more in Linux and engineering content lately, and considering he's essentially retired and doesn’t rely on YouTube ad revenue anymore, wouldn’t it be amazing if he also started posting his videos on PeerTube in parallel?

He can definitely afford to support decentralized platforms and wouldn’t be held back by monetization concerns. With his reach, even just mirroring his content to PeerTube could bring massive attention to the Fediverse. Do you think he'd ever consider it?

The last thing we want is for the fediverse to be promoted by Nazi association.

Well, not the last last, but still bad enough.

Tired of you people trying to foster an echo chamber.

He isnt a very social guy so he probably doesnt care to promote social media especially one with so much extremist content. His linux video is more than enough to funnel some more people into fedi adjacent communities and if they want to I'm sure they'll find their way here.

Even if he did, look at the reactions in these threads. People dont want to grow this place.

Please, no.

He is such a douche bag, and a lot of his fan base is too.

Fuck this guy. When I was growing up a group of skin heads infiltrated our local punk scene, even though they liked the same bands as the rest of us, we fucking ran them out of every show. Felix deserves zero praise for his recent moves.

Stop giving him your attention.

people still defend him like its nothing he fled to japan because controversy dint reach the country, he stayed off the radar him getting married is irrelevant when compared to what he did, and he dint officially apologize. basically pulled a sniperwolf, disappeared for a while and came back. im agreeing with you.

the issue is should people jump different platforms, because an influencer like him said so. and the other commentor said you should forgive him because it has ben 7 years, people dont forget hate attacks, especially if he has not felt consequences or amended his past. he just ran.

I remember him from over 10y ago when he played Amnesia and haven't watched him until the linux video. What happened?

PewDiePie posting on PeerTube will result with many of his videos being viewed on PeerTube. But either:

  • he would make an instance only for himself and majority of his viewers would fail to make a Fediverse account to follow him, or
  • he would open that instance for his viewers to make a account there, but then he would be liable for every comment made by his viewers, or
  • he would make an account on already existing instance, making a great burden of moderating his viewers for existing administration and moderation team.

An entire network cannot be effectively marketed and accomodate a new users' wave as well as any centralised website, like YouTube, or Bluesky.

They can tell them to spread out registrations.

he still has a following on youtube surprisingly on his vlogs, like 1+million views.

Im not sure I want to draw from PewDiePie influenced adopters.

This is called gate keeping

And I like it.
