A few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology.
Sorry, it’s off topic, but how do I subscribe to this guy from the instance I’ve signed up with? I searched his channel but nothing showed up. So that does that mean I’m SooL because my instance isn’t federated with his?
If you’re a firefox person, there’s an add-on called Peertube Companion which will convert peertube links to use your instance. So for me, that link takes me to peertube.wtf rather than peertube.gravitywell.xyz
Apparently it will also redirect you to your peertube instance when you watch a video on YouTube that also exists on peertube (I’ve never had this happen though! Not sure how it does the comparision - hashes I suppose?)

This man is a gift to all in these times.

Learn his craft.
Build those tools.

I went here: https://peertube.gravitywell.xyz/c/benjordan/videos
Then I clicked the subscribe button.
Then I entered the url to my peertube account.
Then it opened the peertube app to my account and I had to hit subscribe again.
Not painless but not bad for being federated.

For the redirect from YouTube to PeerTube, it just uses the video title. This sometimes results in a “false positive”, but it does work.
You can try it with “The Linux Experiment”.
