The best part? All posts are in chronological order, not “optimized”

Mastodon is always at your fingertips.
PeerTube allows you to share all your videos. Being in direct contact with a human hosting provider (or becoming your own) allows you to choose how their diffusion is done.

Mastodon comes with effective anti-abuse tools to help protect yourself
from online abuse.
With small, interconnected communities, it means that there are more
moderators you can approach to help with a situation.
This also means you can choose who sees your posts: friends, your community,
or the entire fediverse.
When you watch a video with PeerTube, the WebTorrent technology
allows you to be part of the broadcast from this video with the viewers who
watch it at the same time.
This video stream sharing allows a healthier distribution of exchanges on the network.
Moreover, the federation protocol (ActivityPub) allows to publish the videos and comments on other platforms using it, such as [Mastodon](https://joinmastodon.org)! (experimental)

## How it works {#how-it-works}
Anyone can run a server of Mastodon. Each server hosts individual user accounts,
the content they produce, and the content they subscribe to.
Everybody can host a PeerTube server named **instance**.
Every instance hosts it's own users and their videos.
It also keeps a list of the videos available on the instances
the administrator choose to follow in order to propose them to it's users.
Each user account has a globally unique name (e.g. @user@example.com),
consisting of the local username (@user), and the domain name of
the server it is on (example.com).
Every account has a globally unique (e.g. @chocobozzz@framatube.org) consisting of the local username (@chocobozzz) and the domain name of the server it is on (framatube.org).
Users can follow each other, regardless of where they’re hosted — when a
local user follows a user from a different server, the server subscribes
to that user’s updates for the first time.
The administrators of a PeerTube instance can follow each other.
When your PeerTube instance follows another PeerTube instance, you receive
the videos preview informations from this instance. This way, you can display
the videos available on your instance and on the instance you decided to follow.
So you keep control of the videos displayed on your PeerTube instance!

### Why is that cool?
Servers are run independently by different people and organizations.
They can apply wildly different moderation policies, so you can find or
make one that fits your taste perfectly.
A decentralized network is harder for governments to censor.
If one server goes bankrupt or starts acting unethically, the network
persists so you never have to worry about migrating your friends and
audience to a yet another platform again.
Each server operates independently and is managed by a different person
or organization, who can therefore apply various moderation and conduct rules,
allowing you to find the instance who will suit you best.
By watching a video, you help the hosting provider broadcasting it by becoming yourself
a broadcaster of this video. Each instance doesn't need much money to broadcast
the videos of its users.
