It's funny because "perturbe" means to annoy someone in portuguese, which sounds almost exactly the same.

Without the e at the end, it's the same in English, albeit not the same pronunciation I gather.

1% raised? Barely any activity? (on the fundraiser page nor in this thread) Looks like this is posted as an advertisement, not so much as a news item.

Is this an unlabeled Show HN?

This needs more visibility! I have watched European conference videos using PeerTube before and the thing works pretty well. Also, great that they're using standardized federation technologies (ActivityPub, same protocols as Mastodon.) All the power to PeerTube for aiming to scale it to the next level.

For what it's worth, I made a contribution!

So this differs from BitChute in the sense that it's a bit prettier? Or does this handle encoding as well maybe?

I'm just a follower of the project (I have my own instance), it looked to me worth sharing it there, so I did.

It didn't seem to me that I should tag it as Show HN, but maybe I was wrong.

I don't know BitChute enough but the main difference to me seems to be that PeerTube is a community and free-software project where anyone can deploy its own instance, whereas BitChute is closed sourced and centralized in every aspect except video streaming.
