PeerTube is a video sharing platform, just like YouTube or Vimeo. Videos you watch on PeerTube is hosted on a PeerTube instance.

You are right, but the users also need to be watching the video at the same resolution. A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer.
If multiple people are watching the same video, at the same resolution, it uses WebRTC (HLS P2P) to share data between them, saving bandwidth from the PeerTube instance.
A PeerTube instance can also function as a peer (seed) for another PeerTube instance.
It’s actually a different thumbnail from the YouTube version and I wouldn’t call this stupid. You only see the eyes and no facial reaction.
Doesn’t work with all yet though. At least not on iOS 😭
Wouldn’t they have shown up on the cam?
Working with you UX experts? You mean like hire them? With what money?
Otherwise, the UX experts need to step up and volunteer their services, just like programmers do when they create FOSS.
What problem does Peertube solve beyond not being Youtube?
Content creators can be in total control of their content and the platform, while still being able to reach the wider audience on the Fediverse.
There’s also features such as being able to replace an already uploaded video and for some, they would be happy not having to play the “algorithm game”.
You can do things because you want to make a difference. A good difference. Not everything has to have an ulterior motive.
We just can’t have nice things…
I use Lemmy and PeerTube. Host a version of both myself. I use Loops a little as well and will probably pick up Pixelfed at some point.
A nice read. I have the same opinion of the so called “tech journalists” here in Denmark. It’s crazy how little they research or know about the subject they write about.
Thanks for letting me know. It also looked like the channel was just a mirror and not official.
I could make a comment more like this one: https://lemmy.wtf/comment/12426812, but in the format you want.
I first learned about “Nicole” when I received this message through the contact form on PeerTube.wtf
https://peertube.wtf/c/beyorkisan/videos
The person would setup live streams on PeerTube, showing the same clip on a loop, of the supposedly “Nicole”.
I have this list that I try to keep up to date: https://lemmy.wtf/post/15810205
I run Funkwhale at music.peertube.wtf. Not using it for that much though 😁
No. Posts are chronological.

Yes. You can mirror videos from other instances. This also work as a kind of redundancy, if the PeerTube instance with the original video is down.
