Comment on PeerTube stress tests: resilience lies in your peers!
possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 6 months agoGood luck, Nebula is a paid service. My issue with peertube is that Framasoft is completely unwilling to allow others to make money. They seem to think they can make it work just on peoples kindness but hosting videos is extremely demanding compared to a mastodon instance.
What they should do is find a way to allow server admins and creators to sell content and goods. For instance, I would pay for a Proxmox guide or book.

There are multiple monetization plugins and absolutely no built-in anti-monetization features. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for them to keep the base software monetization agnostic. They talked about this at length during the AMA a couple of weeks ago.

I’m aware there are plugins but plugins aren’t a standard. I want a platform that is ad free and can handle payments. Obysee technically is a option but it sucked last time I used it and was full of Nazis

PeerTube is not really intended as a platform, even less so than most fediverse projects. As it stands, the best way to think about PeerTube is sans discovery mechanisms because I don’t think any are planned. With this in mind, peertube is best thought of as the video extension of the fediverse and the discovery niche is filled through word-of-mouth here and over on the microblogging side.
