      Well that answers one of the questions about it at least. This post is only 2 hours old and the cross-post chain likewise less than a day, so thay raised even more questions about why this month old video is being spread across several instances despite being invalid now, even if it still was at the time it was made (which it may not have been, the reversion of the announcement was made extremely quickly due to the enormous uproar against it).

        The first link in the cross-post chain is to https://piefed.social/post/413111, which is for the channel, and shows that it was made 4 weeks ago, and includes a comment from the main LW admin.

        Your suspicions about this video seem off, but if you want to keep them, they should be directed at person who posted this old video into Lemmy, not the video’s author. As well as a PeerTube instance, Jeena has a PieFed instance, and it seems reasonable enough for him to use his own channel to discuss things that have affected him and are relevant at the time.

        What’s even weirder is that this video was already posted to !videos@lemmy.world by Jeena a month ago, and OP commented on it then. It doesn’t get picked up as a cross-post (by either Lemmy or PieFed) because PeerTube has 2 different formats for its URLs (a recent change to PieFed means they get they will do from now on, but it doesn’t apply to old posts).

          Thanks, it seems there was a lot here I was missing.

          Edit: e.g. I missed that this is Jeena himself, who I generally enjoy reading his comments, and if made a month ago rather than now definitely makes this all make a ton more sense than it would have otherwise.
