Have you ever seen a TikTok video? Why on Earth do we want that on the Fediverse? Not everything that exists deserves to be copied.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 39 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

There are good short form videos. There are also bad ones. No different than long form video.

Sure, but why? PeerTube already exists and it isn't like there are length limits.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Because some people prefer the format.

There is no federation on peertube though, is there ?

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, there is. You can even follow PeerTube channels from Lemmy.

[–] Hadriscus@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

wow that's great. Last I checked there was no such thing

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

Because the constraints make it interesting
I want the length limits.
