We should seriously start to promote a PeerTube migration everywhere (lemmy.ml)

I know, the platform isn't ready, the platform needs more creators, the platform has technical improvements to do...We could have said the same for Lemmy before the Reddit blackout, the same for Mastodon on Twitter.

The main limitation I see at the moment are PeerTube instances, badly communicating, from what I've been able to realize, and there are no reference instances as it was for Lemmy.

I'm a(n extremely) small time streamer but with decades of content (plus more as I stream on both PeerTube and Twitch) that I'm slowly moving over to my own self-hosted PeerTube instance. I can't say I expected any views at all, but what I have gotten so far is just a lot of bot spam comments. I can't imagine that's something most creators want to deal with.

Is the problem that I'm self-hosting and having to moderate that on my own? Probably. But it doesn't paint a great picture of the platform at large so far.
