Love how you're making the videos available on a decentralized, community-run platform like Peertube, in alignment with your stated values!
Even better is how you've continued to engage with the community on this issue rather than just ignoring it and funneling users onto centralized surveillance platforms like YouTube! Way to go!
...Right?

These sound like nice improvements.
It would also be nice to not be forced by Nextcloud onto a centralized, proprietary, monopoly surveillance platform to see them.
Peertube is a thing. So is Pixelfed. Heck, even on Mastodon, short videos are a thing.
