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

Create it and before opening it publicly, squat you.tube and make it randomly redirect to any other registered domain.

YouTube using you.tube would lend credence to the rest of the .tube TLD actually.

I enjoyed the "managing expectations" section here. It reminded me that even as an average programmer contributing to the project directly (via PRs, triaging, or just testing / running an instance) is going to be more valuable than donating $10 or whatever to a project like this.

Can someone explain the point of federating PeerTube. Their site doesn't really explain it, and it seems like you still need to create an account on every instance you want to use (if you want to comment on/rate videos).

How is it different from lots of independent sites, with RSS feeds for each channel?

I 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 intern…

Can't/doesn't PeerTube work with IP-addresses directly?

Would probably violate trademark law and icann would make you give it up. I guess if you go opennic or use a different alternative root they might not care about court-ordered domain forfeitures.

Not if what you show isn't the primary market of YouTube.

Conservative-Libertarian Anarcho-Marxist Fascism?

These days as long as you promise financial benefits for about 10-30% of population, anything goes. That's why you've got so many populist parties around Europe winning elections. People don't care much as long as they get paid, can buy food, pay rent, and spend rest of the day browsing internet or getting drunk in front of Netflix.

What I don't understand is why they don't broaden the scope and work more like IPFS, with a thin shell for displaying video data.
