A search engine for #peertube

"PeerTube Index is a centralized search engine for PeerTube videos. We run a crawler that visits PeerTube instances to find videos and new instances. All found videos are made searchable by their name. We exclude videos marked as Not Safe For Work (NSFW) for now.

This site is not affiliated to Framasoft, the maintainer of the PeerTube software. "

Sigh. Few things are ever quite as good as they seem. After my fairly glowing reviews of Rutger Bregman's extremely optimistic "Humankind: a hopeful history" a couple weeks back, I have to admit that this rather less glowing review I've just read also rings true: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/jun/10/humankind-by-rutger-bregman-review-a-hopeful-history-of-our-nature

Social media is going to be intolerable the next six months with all the helicopter parents and celebrities nagging me every day to practice good hygiene, vote and get vaccinated. #yourenotmyrealdad
