Re: Our plans for PeerTube v4
#12I am very hopeful for Peertube and their project, since I'm currently partaking in hosting a large video website for otherwise content too controversial for mainstream platforms like Youtube. (Political content if you were wondering, but I won't indulge what kind)
This takes back control to creators in such a way that essentially only domain registrars will be able to dictate what content may stay alive on the internet. (And naturally that each to their own get to federate to their own liking) At the moment domain registrars have been staying on what is IMO the correct stance of content allowance, requiring more or less police warrants to take down content. In fact I'm hopeful enough for this project that I've considered spending some time to get stuck in the development enough that I could even contribute pull requests or helpful issues to the tracker.
I would like to see a world instead where all channels on Youtube were their own "Peertubes" instead. Youtube/Google have really let consumers and creators down as it is right now, which in a way is natural, since they only really have allegiance to their sponsors and advertisers.

#13Random idea: we could create a .tube domain to disseminate the idea that YouTube doesn't need to be the only video platform around.

There's only one kind considered too controversial for mainstream.

#15Couple this news with this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26804977 . We need not only decentralization and "openness". We need independence. People should be held accountable by lies and defamation they eventually spread but the possibility of publishing information or "personal media" should not be arbitrarily controlled by any government, company or market. Edit: replaced "Punishment for crimes like hate spe…
Punishment for crimes like hate speech should be enforced Can I assume you're not in America? In the USA, "hate speech" is not, and cannot be, a crime. The 1st Amendment forbids content-based limitations on speech.
The US Supreme Court has ruled in favour of restrictions on free speech before; the First Amendment is not absolute. It is not unthinkable that with changing society and changing judicial review, the USA too may one day find hate speech to be a crime.

Coordination of armed insurrection against the United States?
Accusations of Democratic pedophile rings to distract from the known Republican pedophiles in Congress?
Lies about the election rigging to justify overtly racist voter suppression?

Depends on who's doing it.
> Coordination of armed insurrection against the United States?
Coordinating burning down Minneapolis police station is okay. Bombing Portland Federal Courthouse is okay. I'm afraid you haven't quite captured it yet, but close.
> Lies about the election rigging to justify overtly racist voter suppression?
No, speaking for 4 years about Russian collusion rigging the election was allowed on mainstream platforms.
I'm afraid you'll still need to be more specific.

#19Question to PeerTube: What are you doing to curb the ever-growing number of white supremacists using your platform?

>For all I've seen "non-white non-male" is generally given priority in all kinds of areas, certainly in start-up interest. It's considered "hip" to associate with these "non-white non-male" groups, irregardless of their actual performance in whatever area they were prioritized. (To a certain extent at least, they can't be completely nonperforming) Being able to show that you have included these groups in whatever way your organization works, gives you advantages in press situations foremost, but also in other ways such as meeting arbitrary quotas set by higher-ups and HR dept.s in your organization.
I'm guessing...videos leaked from inside factory farms.
