This is not true at all:
- Libre Video does not link to my channel
- TILvids does not link to my channel
- The same with neat.tube
- Or Blender videos
- Or PeerTube.io
- Or P2J
- Or Move IT Tube
Why? Well, let's look at the top servers. The first hit is a French server, with mostly French and European content. The first US hit is bestgore.fun, which based on its name alone, I would exactly call quality content. The next one is swebbtv.se, which claims to be in the US, but is clearly a Swedish server, and immediately assaults you with a donation screen when you go to the first page. It also does not have any federation.
The next US one is phijkchu.com, which appears to be somebody's personal instance with just their videos? It also doesn't have a lot of federation. Then there's pony.tube, which appears to be mostly My Little Pony content?
You have to go pretty far down the list to find something like diode.zone, and even its federated list is only 25 or so instances.
What do you define as "big instances"?
It's not you. Pretty poor choice to use inverted colors, but keep the red eyes.
Although, I don't see this on the front page. I just see the basic white version. Where is this at?
