PeerTube

“You should just consume freely licensed open source no rights reserved content on peertube”

“the Peertube network just like other similar platforms/systems have many problems right now”

“finding an instance whose content policy fits what you're meaning to upload and responds to sign-up requests isn't trivial”

“For people who want to share videos without making people watch ads, that's perfect.”

“the average user will turn away immediately if there is no clear guidance on how to do the basic things”

“entities tied to governments should be using something like this, not youtube”

“don't expect anyone to adopt it then. 99% of people aren't flocking to video platforms”

“it does certainly suffer from the fact that all federated instances can't pull in videos from other platforms”

“Technically it works fine, but it's not going to displace YouTube.”

“IMO state universities should be posting their material online like this, and on a platform that does not require the public to watch ads”

“it cannot sustain creators and thus will only either 1) freeboot off of platforms that do or 2) be flooded by low effort slop”

“if your goal is to share educational content for free, provided that the hosting platform is sound”

“PeerTube's software was disappointing and really poorly implemented compared to Google.”

“compare that to all other television and streaming services, where all independent creators are demonetized and banned by default”

“this is the strongest endorsement of peertube I've seen so far”

“The lack of a method for monetizing videos on PeerTube is also like the black mark for a video platform.”

“making software for themselves to host their own videos without being beholden to the likes of Google”

“I tremendously reduced my weekly video watching time and I don't feel like missing out on something important.”

“Any platform which doesn't let creators monetize effectively will be stuck with what people produce in their free time.”

“The reason PeerTube and Nebula are important is it provides the potential for a true alternative destination for people looking for videos.”

“It would perhaps be a good fit for MIT to host their OCW videos, or for Khan Academy to host their material”

“neither the content you want nor audience is there on PeerTube at the moment”

“federation was whitelist based, that is you could only follow people on instances added by the admin of your instance”

“I explored it a bit in the past, but was a bit underwhelmed with content I could find there.”

“This peertube instance[1] has a good experience but it only has a few channels.”

“If all of them used peertube maybe we'd have a solid competitor.”

“they also develop their own, such as PeerTube and Framaprout (the last one is a joke, but PeerTube isn't)”

“consider alternatives alongside youtube (like peertube), and promote the alternative platforms”

“a self-hosted or externally paid hosted peertube site might be a good option”

“using something like upcloud/ovh which provide unlimited egress/bandwidth (both European) is a good combo for peertube imo”

“There is already at least a quality one, well maintained with a rich community making plenty of plugins.”

“with no single pile owner there is no single entity that decideds what goes on the pile or not”

“when your biggest USP is federation it still seems like a bad idea to deliberately hobble it”

“Content discovery on it is still difficult, mostly because of the bizarre decision to make federation whitelist based.”

“From hosting a peertube instance solely for my own stuff for several years”

“tools like PeerTube, Mastodon, etc are clunkier and more limited than things like YouTube”

“the software is good technically but is overkill for home users and small entities”

“It is such a great piece of software and I use it locally to host family videos”

“If you want to avoid censorship, self-host Peertube and have peave of mind.”

“That's why we have Peertube and your personal (not hosted by a corp) website.”
