QwastTube launched as a Sovereign Alternative to YouTube
30/01/2026
Do you enjoy my YouTube channel but also care about digital sovereignty and privacy? Today, I'm excited to launch QwastTube, a fediverse alternative to my YouTube channel, built for people who value open ecosystems, user autonomy, and community‑driven platforms. These principles are at the heart of what we do at QWAST.
What powers QwastTube?
QwastTube runs on PeerTube, an open‑source, decentralized video platform. Instead of relying on a single corporate service, PeerTube uses federation: independent servers that interconnect, share content, and build communities without surveillance capitalism or algorithmic lock‑in. PeerTube instances are transparent about that as you can see in the picture on the right.
In other words: your viewing experience stays yours, and creators keep control over their work.
Subscribe!
With almost 35,000 subscribers on YouTube, I'm grateful for the reach and engagement there. But I also believe deeply that we can grow strong, meaningful communities on platforms that respect users and creators alike. PeerTube gives us that opportunity.
I'm still importing videos and customizing the platform, but the first collections are already live. Feel free to explore, subscribe, and federate!
For now both the YouTube channel and QwastTube will be used and
synchronised. But I hope my followers will choose for QwastTube for my
video content about open source GIS.
For now, both the YouTube
channel and QwastTube will run in parallel and stay synchronized. But I
hope many of you will choose QwastTube for my content on open‑source
GIS!
