- Comment on Are people blind on PeerTube? 5 days ago:
Yes. You can mirror videos from other instances. This also work as a kind of redundancy, if the PeerTube instance with the original video is down.
- Comment on Are people blind on PeerTube? 6 days ago:
PeerTube is a video sharing platform, just like YouTube or Vimeo. Videos you watch on PeerTube is hosted on a PeerTube instance.
- Comment on Are people blind on PeerTube? 6 days ago:
You are right, but the users also need to be watching the video at the same resolution. A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer.
- Comment on Are people blind on PeerTube? 6 days ago:
If multiple people are watching the same video, at the same resolution, it uses WebRTC (HLS P2P) to share data between them, saving bandwidth from the PeerTube instance.
A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer (seed) for another PeerTube instance.
- Comment on PeerTube App v1 is out! 1 week ago:
Doesn’t work with all yet though. At least not on iOS 😭
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Interesting. I’ve been thinking about something like this for instances that use PeerTube. People could donate storage to PeerTube instances.
- Comment on The YouTube Alternative Nobody's Talking About ! Peertube 2 weeks ago:
Working with you UX experts? You mean like hire them? With what money?
Otherwise, the UX experts need to step up and volunteer their services, just like programmers do when they create FOSS.
- Comment on The YouTube Alternative Nobody's Talking About ! Peertube 2 weeks ago:
What problem does Peertube solve beyond not being Youtube?
Content creators can be in total control of their content and the platform, while still being able to reach the wider audience on the Fediverse.
There’s also features such as being able to replace an already uploaded video and for some, they would be happy not having to play the “algorithm game”.

You can do things because you want to make a difference. A good difference. Not everything has to have an ulterior motive.

We just can’t have nice things…
- Comment on Do you use other federated software besides Lemmy (e.g. Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc.), if so which? 3 weeks ago:
I use Lemmy and PeerTube. Host a version of both myself. I use Loops a little as well and will probably pick up Pixelfed at some point.
- Comment on Some things are a mystery ig ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 3 weeks ago:
If you upload to PeerTube it embeds just fine on Lemmy.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 4 weeks ago:
Bluesky doesn’t work if the IP gets blocked in Turkey, but with Mastodon, you would have to ban every single IP from every Mastodon instance and potentially all other IPs on the Fediverse.
Let’s say Turkey blocks mastodon.social. Now people in Turkey can’t access Mastodon.social under normal circumstances, but they can still access fosstodon.org, mstdn.social etc. and access the content from Mastodon.social through those other sites.
Only issue could be media uploaded to Mastodon.social, that’s blocked, unless it has been cached by the website you use.

A medium ranged laptop can be rather expensive and how would you deal with upgrades or a dead drive?
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 4 weeks ago:
I’m just used to the “/s” for when something is written sarcastically.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 4 weeks ago:
/s?
There’s Mastodon and a ton of others.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 4 weeks ago:
10 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD
That doesn’t sound cheap though and it would become more expensive over time, right?
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 4 weeks ago:
If only there was a decentralised alternative, that was more or less immune to this… LOL
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 4 weeks ago:
Also DMs always go through Bluesky themselves.
- Comment on Best approach to selfhosting Synapse (Matrix)? 4 weeks ago:
What do you suggest? It’s only intended for a few users, but I’d still like to have the most features available to the users.

You could try getting your hands on an OVH dedicated server: eco.ovhcloud.com/en-ie/
- Comment on Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives 4 weeks ago:
A nice read. I have the same opinion of the so called “tech journalists” here in Denmark. It’s crazy how little they research or know about the subject they write about.

- Comment on The Channel Directory - Discover new content! 4 weeks ago:
Thanks for letting me know. It also looked like the channel was just a mirror and not official.

I could make a comment more like this one: lemmy.wtf/comment/12426812, but in the format you want.
- Comment on Nicole has taken a dark turn 5 weeks ago:
I first learned about “Nicole” when I received this message through the contact form on PeerTube.wtf
Image peertube.wtf/c/beyorkisan/videos
The person would setup live streams on PeerTube, showing the same clip on a loop, of the supposedly “Nicole”.
