The problem is that a lot of these websites that exist as a safe haven for those who have been deplatformed are cesspools. The early adopters are the most toxic people, and things just go downhill from there. Seriously, go look at parler or voat. Here's an archive the voat post where it's shutdown was announced: https://archive.is/0kOST Open it up and Control-F the n word or any antisemetic slur. That's not the sort of discourse you'd expect on a healthy and diverse platform.

Edit: I should add that the threshold for Youtube demonetization is probably lower than the threshold for getting a subreddit banned, so maybe Peertube won't face the same fate. The federated model might help too, does each Peertube instance behave like a separate community? Are there any instances with communities yet?

So you provide the tools for users to moderate their own content,. I understand that my email provider has a spam filter, but it would be unacceptable if I was unable to tweak those settings myself. Why do we expect anything less from social media?

Considering that Gab has (kind of) "joined" Mastodon, and Mastodon hasn't collapsed into a garbage fire, federated and/or decentralized services seem to be resistant to this issue.

I don't know about instances with communities, but at least the Blender community has an instance.
