Is there a solution to being liable for distributing illegal/immoral content as a peer on PeerTube? That's what's keeping me away.
Wouldn’t you only distribute illegal/immoral content if you were watching it? You only distribute things you yourself are streaming.
At the moment I have only two videos on it. But that’s ok. I can put more videos on it in the future.
PeerTube is a decentralized and federated alternative to YouTube. The goal of PeerTube is not to replace YouTube but to offer a viable alternative using the strength of P2P and WebTorrent protocols. Being built on ActivityPub means PeerTube is able to be part of a bigger social network, the Fediverse (the Federated Universe). On the other hand, P2P technologies help PeerTube to solve the issue of money, inbound with…

The client is where the "peer" in peertube comes in. If you want to be safe from liability, don't watch illegal/immoral content. You will be fine.

This is naive. I don't necessarily know that the content is illegal until I've started playing it. By that point I may have already shared it.
Same issue with any p2p, I guess. You could start downloading a file with a harmless name and later discover it was a fake name.

I think they might be talking about hosting a PeerTube server with open registration? And so random people might publish illegal content via their server?

I don't think that's naive, considering that after reporting adult sites with obvious CP, the sites are still up after several years.
Is there an Android app?

In either case, I don't see any intent and therefore not any crime. I don't think that's naive, considering that after reporting adult sites with obvious CP, the sites are still up after several years.
Jurisdictions vary in how the justice system treats intent. You do not want to rely on lack of intent to get off the hook.
