A colorful image showing 8 global switch suggestions presented in three columns. Upper left is the fediverse logo with text Join the fediverse #globalswitchday. In total we see 16 platform logo's in their respected brand color and underneath each logo the name of the platform. All switch combinations have an arrow in the middle pointing to the right (from to). In the left column: X to Mastodon, Facebook to friendica. In the middle column WhatsApp to Signal, Instagram to Pixelfed and YouTube to PeerTube. In the right column: Reddit to Lemmy, Facebook Messenger to Signal and TikTok to loops.video.

Unfortunately, the switch from YouTube to PeerTube has not worked for me so far. I can't find a decent instance (not full of right-wing/conspiracy content) with interesting stuff that also allows me to make an account.

    Yes finding the right instance on peertube is a nightmare — and also the general lack of quality content, or subtitling, which makes it as good as useless for deaf people like me.

    Yeah, it is already hard to find reasons to use it for the average user, so people with disabilities (deafness, blindness,intellectual etc.) probably even have reasons to NOT use them (no subtitles, each instance might have different elements or structure that might be a nightmare for screen readers, it might be too complex for some people, etc.).
