Loops vs. PeerTube for video host

Hey friends, I'm thinking of starting up an ActivityPub compatible server to host and share my own train videos with the Fediverse, and wondering: Of the two video-oriented softwares, which would be a better fit for my use case and easier to work with? The videos would be between 15 seconds and 10 minutes long.

Comparisons, pros and cons, and your experiences working with either would be appreciated. Thanks. @fediverse

Actually now that you mention it, I just checked and it seems like links in profile aren't even clickable or selectable from the Loops Android app, so that's annoying.

I usually make an acct for each distinct fedi service, so not sure. I see a bunch of videos pop up from Mastodon users, but I just browse it from a Loops account (and never post videos).
