Want to share a link to a recent interview with Brave's co founder and which I found interesting. Is that something that fits this group or better posted elsewhere?

Folks who want to view the video using a third party client could always just copy and paste the link, so I don't see any problem

I wasn't sure about posting videos in general

I have automatic redirect (with the LibRedirect-plugin in Firefox) of any YouTube-links so that they open in Freetube. Set up on my phone as well, and it works nicely.

I do the same, its super sick, except that it still leaves an empty gray tab

Libredirect is awesome.

I see you've already posted it, but YouTube links should be fine. Traditionally, it was better to post Invidious links; but thanks to Google, this links don't tend to keep working for too long these days.

On the other hand, if a video also exists on media.ccc.de or PeerTube, that would be the preferred option. YouTube is still acceptable, though.

If it's related to privacy, post it here. In the past you could be attacked for posting a YT link instead of a Piped link but Piped is long dead so you should be fine now.

Thank you for this explanation, because I was not picking up what that Title was putting down

When I remember to, I try to add a message in the post body recommending Freetube combined with Libredirect, since that still works.
