Hi Halla,

Yes you do. I found it later. I apologise for my oversight.

That said, the number of videos is still manageable and can be migrated 
easily. We would gladly do it for you. The number of subscribers is still also 
manageable in the sense they can all be asked to move to the new channel.

In view of your subscribers on that other site,  your main audience is going 
to be on YouTube for a long time still, it seems. This means stuff we change on 
PeerTube, will not affect your viewership in any significant way now.

Either way, your choice of course. There are certain advantages  of going with 
a KDE controlled instances however:

* Guarantee that it won't disappear on you suddenly. We have had this happen 
several times which is what is leading us to set up our own instances in the 
Fediverse, as , when it happens, it is royal pain.

* Control over what you need. If you need to do a live streaming session, 
you've got that, if you see a plugin you like, you can ask for it and it will 
get installed, etc.

* There is a very tight control over content on the instance : no spam, no 
weird conspiranoid channels, no sh*tposting... Only clean KDE-related accounts 
are allowed on the instance.

* It makes it easier for us to automate uploading subtitles.

Anyway, just consider it and tell us what you would like to do.

Cheers 

Paul
