      I haven’t tried it, but kind of like what they’re doing with the Fediverse and all that. I love flipboard.video.

      But now I had to manually unclick a billion tiny individual cookie toggles just to view flipboard.com without sharing my data with third parties, so I get a feeling this app is not for me. At least I can follow content from Mastodon if I want. :)

      Edit - oops, didn’t realize the original comment was deleted. Oh well. :)

      You’d be able to subscribe to YouTube videos from federated services, and when opening them you’d see the comments from YouTube. Similar to how PieFed is currently integrated.

      I doubt we would suddenly have every thread flooded by the YouTube comment section, thank god.

      Also I doubt it would ever happen - Google have no interest in driving traffic away from the site.
