Why would anyone use this non FOSS vibe coded thing instead of PeerTube? Copying YouTube’s UX is not a good enough reason when better FOSS alternatives already exist.

I don’t care if AI was used in its creation. I do care if it’s FOSS/libre.
And also, it’s a bit weird to me that copying YouTube’s UI is considered good. I havent used YouTube in a long time, but I recall there being some good aspects and some bad. Why not create your own vesion of a UI?

Makes it easier for people to move over, and more willing to.

Wdym non FOSS? It’s MIT. That’s still FOSS even if it’s not the flavor of FOSS you prefer

They changed the licence to MIT after my post. So good on them. The original licence was non FOSS. You can see it in the git history if you’re interested.

Doesn’t matter there we’ll never be a replacement for YouTube the cost is to great. Think of the storage they barely remove videos they just stay up there.

Decentralized video streaming? Like torrenting but encrypted traffic from disparate nodes like Storj? Not that tech, but something in that vein.
Also how Tor works but that would be slow af.

Yea someone argued that “it’s not impossible to replace YouTube, [x] also stores massive amounts of videos” where I don’t remember what x was, but I’m fairly sure their massive amounts of videos is less than what gets uploaded to YouTube in a day.

It’s not. Have you red the project description?

So what is the difference between this and PeerTube?

Do you think you could work towards ActivityPub integration so it would be able to talk to PeerTube instances? IMO diversity is strength but cooperation is a factor in success. Hope this project goes well and is fun 😁

How is the design and flow of Peertube different from YT, can you give e few examples? For me they are super similar (there’s a video feed, I click on one, I get a page with videos that has comments and related videos).

Not federated, seemingly vibecoded, MIT. Peertube exists, not sure this makes a ton of sense as an alternative but good luck otherwise.

Good argument

That repo looks like someone vibe coded a YouTube clone

Absolute best of luck to you! :) We need more diversity in software!
I hope AcitivityPub or some federation mechanism is being supported. :)
If you ever want to come on a podcast, Fireside Fedi, let me know. :)
Also if/when you’re ever needing someone to test the software I’m starting another show called Works On My Machine Live where I install the software and talk to the dev during it.

I agree that more options is a good thing, and that activitypub would be a plus. But FYI, I wont be using it because of the license. I use only FOSS whenevr possible.

Good catch, that licence does not look very Libre =\
SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Okay, why this over peertube?
thoralf@discuss.familie-will.at 1 month ago
An alternative approach to PeerTube would be very welcome. ActivityPub-integration is a must for me, though.
Ash@piefed.social 1 month ago
Very cool.

Mit license allows the use for commercial purposes without funding, which if it becomes popular and adopted you would have to support it without ant kick backs. Please look into GPLv3

I wonder if you have plans to implement YouTube mirroring like with Odysee. I’m sure my producer, Neigsendoig, would love that.
This is being done on a service using the Nostr protocol from what I’ve heard.

Fantastic. Please, feel free to take your time on that, but we do appreciate that regardless.

This looks cool. Good luck with it
squirrel@piefed.kobel.fyi 1 month ago
put ActivityPub in it :)
But seriously, a PeerTube compatible software with a different approach than PeerTube could be good for the federated video ecosystem.

While many in fedi will say the above, a simple federated search model could increase adoption. I.E. don’t bother going crazy with it, just add a discovery platform where you can search “your own” or “the network”.
hornedfiend@piefed.social 1 month ago
For sure, an ActivityPub video platform that is not TikTok like (i.e Loops) would be amazing.
