Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hate speech being a crime is not the problem. The power of the arbiter of what defines hate speech is.

It's also unclear to me why that, in turn, is a problem. There are several fuzzy areas in American free speech law as it stands, and arguably most people are already happy to allow (and encourage) regulation in other important areas of life, from medical/food regulation to warranty regulations, to electrical safety regulations, to frequency band regulations. The 'power of the arbiter' there is almost never brought up…

I was excited about seeing an alternative to YouTube. I'm getting more and more worried about the content YouTube shows to my kids. But I was so disappointed in the various peers i went to and the content there. Surely there is good content that doesn't rely on monetizing it as YouTube does. I realize getting kids' content is going to take effort that requires funding somehow, but why aren't there good technical disc…

This instance seems alright [1]. The 'about' page says it's run by a single person for their own kids.

Is there a good search engine for peertube content? I feel that's the big problem now. Browsing random instances, I found a lot of (bad) porn, some anarchist concerts, tech tutorials in languages I did not know. I made a search for "music" in sepiasearch.org, assuming this should be broad enough to get something interesting. The top result has 9 views. I can filter by "popular". Look, I understand that Youtube's reco…

I made a search engine for public Peertube videos: https://peertube-search.com/

Would it be possible to set up some form of CDN. I.e. a service where you could submit torrent links so that "peertubers" could pool their resources somehow, or if you would like to support certain user by making sure that they get the bandwidth? So I am thinking of nodes that wouldn't actually host the websites but rather only would accept bittorrent URIs and then seeding them. To make sure that the ecosystem doesn'…

PeerTube itself does support “video redundancy”, which allows your instance to mirror popular content from other servers, serving as a sort of CDN: https://docs.joinpeertube.org/admin-following-instances?id=i...

The choice to maintain 80 projects and not grow beyond 10 employees is puzzling to me. Those two decisions seem antithetical to each other. 80 projects is too many regardless

Wow only one developer working on PeerTube and not even full time. No way will that level of effort be able to challenge any of the incumbents.
