Gregory's Server@dansup @Chocobozzz I'm a bit conflicted about integrating short videos because I'm pretty sure IG reels & YT shorts only exist to compete with tiktok. But stories also exist for similar reason and I'm fine with that, so maybe an optional integration with every service could be nice. And if PT has shorts then federation would be absolutely amazing.

 @norbipeti @dansup @Chocobozzz Isn't seeking to replace / be familiar to TikTok as well a feature not a bug?  @vitriolix @dansup @Chocobozzz I mean I have no problem with a fedi alternative to tiktok being very similar, I'm just not sure we need to integrate it into other fedi services (with a separate "tiktok mode" added to PeerTube etc.). But maybe it'd be fine. |
@norbipeti I kinda feel the same.
In my mind, at the moment, short videos == mostly trash (content/production).
I understand that nowadays everything must be fast and furious and nobody has time to check longer content than a few seconds (sadly), but this to me seems to be a trend of quantity over quality.
I guess that this is another consequence of the massive increase in content being posted online.
I don't like the average quality of short videos, and I don't like how people are consuming them.
On the other hand, if I share a snippet of my long videos in shorts or reels, they get easily 10 times more the reach of the original one.
Maybe I'm just conflicted about short videos in general 😄
