   @engiqueering @dandylover1 Hi and thanks for the feedback. We chose the "platform" term after interviews and design study with users that don't know PeerTube very well, or don't know it at all. We understand that experienced users may not like it as we already have "instance" or "server", but we want to try another method with non-experienced users that are still confused about the fediverse aspect of PeerTube.
   Of course if it doesn't work we'll rollback :)

     @dandylover1 @peertube I fully agree about the use of the term "instance" rather than "server", and I wholeheartedly agree that "platform" is the term people use when talking about a service as a whole. I would even go as far as to say that the Peertube network of servers *is* a platform, just a decentralized one. Calling every server a "platform" is going to be more confusing than helpful for new users, in my opinion.
