#AskFedi: a question for people self-hosting #PeerTube: when you create your own instance, PeerTube automatically creates a root user - which is the instance's admin.
I created a second user - another admin - with a name I prefer... but I can't delete root... and find it a little annoying to see that root is already federating (aka I could find it via a fedi search). Do you have any advice about how to proceed?
thank you in advance! 🙏
