Alternative YouTube / Google
Instead of banning people who link to YTb / Google's / Twitter I think adding alternatives would be ok and get rid of arguments
Like Nitter automatically as people enter Twitter links --> example ---> https://nitter.snopyta.org/brokep
(that's for a user but could be to any link also)
All your click after that link are covered by same filtering and prevent invasive data leaking out while you play / search / link people!
These other links make a middle ground or middle road serving those that support Google's YTb / search link$ or Twitter AND those that make less monetised / less tracking links.
Both camps where some like to block Google like we moved from Google/Twitter... and some don't care or have other reasons... which for me is strange as it seems aligned Mastodon helps go further to HELP distance itself from those links and FEED ITSELF or FEED FOSS instead of 100000000000's of google link$ every day :o]
Makes $ense not to feed those corporations right... with links and MORE free software,
Let me know if interested -
Links could be automated / embedded or manually put into posts... I do it manually but would like auto-detection and adding link below any commercial youtube.com / google.com link$
More info here on which alternatives are out there...

Below is example of just youtube front end filtering if you wantto see how good / faster / more free it is using youtube but filtered
