You can’t label everything you disagree with as extremism. Advocate for the destruction of Israel on the basis that the Muslim god said so? That’s extremism. Holding different political views? That’s part of being a healthy and diverse society.

I wish Americans would grow up and learn to coexist.

This seems extremely relevant given everything going on. Do we have to worry about the same deplatforming and data tracking as we see on other media sites? Asking because I just don’t know - I don’t want to hop over just to have the same problems.

So will PeerTube just become a tool for extremism? Or is that a feature? Are humans actually ready for the internet? I am not so sure. Just visited parler, and imagine a whole world filled with bat shit. Crazy, right?

It’s almost like persuasion and dialogue is the only recourse to settling differences. Unless you want to resort to violence (which I’m told the anti-insurrectionists would /never/ do something so immoral).

Onboarding that guy on any alternative platform would be a huge marketing coverage and grow in userbase for the said platform. I wonder if a company will try to play this card.

What guy?

I host a site with lots of videos so am curious about this.

If I add this and another peertube syncs with mine it sounds like I would still be responsible for bandwidth to their users watching my videos from their peertube?

Does any have experience with how much bandwidth is saved from p2p part? Given my content I imagine most users will not be watching same videos at same time so p2p is negligible benefit.

"A minimalist and efficient peer-to-peer live stream The great feature of this v3 is live streaming, and we are proud to say that it works very well ! ... The main points to remember : The lag (between video maker and audience) varies between 30 seconds and 1mn, as expected ; Depending on the power of the server and its load (number of simultaneous live shows, transcoding, etc.), PeerTube can provide hundreds of simu…

Congrats on a major update! Peertube is something I’ve been trying again and again from time to time. My main issue is finding instances to follow that are properly moderated. A lot of the suggested instances are filled with stolen content, porn, or just very wtf videos. I’m hoping that once peertube provides ways for users to sponsor/subscribe-to creators’ peertube channels that more will either jump ship from youtu…

A problem here is that the default configuration automatically follow back any instance that follows it, making all their content appear on its frontpage. I think that is a pretty unsafe default.

The problem is that a lot of these websites that exist as a safe haven for those who have been deplatformed are cesspools. The early adopters are the most toxic people, and things just go downhill from there. Seriously, go look at parler or voat. Here's an archive the voat post where it's shutdown was announced: https://archive.is/0kOST Open it up and Control-F the n word or any antisemetic slur. That's not the sort of discourse you'd expect on a healthy and diverse platform.

Edit: I should add that the threshold for Youtube demonetization is probably lower than the threshold for getting a subreddit banned, so maybe Peertube won't face the same fate. The federated model might help too, does each Peertube instance behave like a separate community? Are there any instances with communities yet?

Just in case this is a serious question, without editorialising, the following has happened in the past 48 hours:

* Trump has been bannned from Twitter.

* Trump has attempted to use the POTUS account, and had those tweets removed.

* Trump has been removed from Facebook.

* Trump has been banned from Twitch.

* The Discord server for the_donald has been banned from Discord.

* Parler has been removed from the Google Play Store and the App Store.

* AWS has announced plans to discontinue Parler's hosting.

And I think that's about it, for very recently. For those who support Trump, "deplatforming" is a major concern, as Trump has now lost access to essentially all of his base via social media. Once he's out of office, he's not going to have anywhere near as significant a reach as he may have.

The tool might be used for extremism, in the same sense that ffmpeg, email, and HTTP are. That is not the same as saying most users of PeerTube will be inundated with extremism though.
