Honestly, I just want instances that focus on niche interests. An instance for sports with communities of different leagues, instances for pc gaming with communities for amd/intel/Nvidia, etc
A really vibrant YouTube alternative. I'd love to never use a Google service like that again.
Peertube does the job to share videos, if you don't plan to monetize, and just upload content for 10 friends, it might be the place to go
I'm a rabid (addicted) watcher so while Peertube definitely works it just doesn't have the same amount of content on all random niches. Very cool project though.
I've never used peertube, but I heard it's getting pretty good.
However, after considering hosting a peertube instance, I can see what a large actor such as Google can bring to the table for resource intensive services, such as video hosting
100% I don't know how (if) a federated system could really handle the volume of data that YouTube does.
Whilst not directly intended for gaming, my instance is targeted specifically for technology, of which PC Gaming would definitely come under!
You're more than welcome to join and create communities for AMD, Nvidia, Intel etc. if you so wish!
We already have !gaming@compuverse.uk and !retrogaming@compuverse.uk communities.
But you're welcome to make more specific communities if you so wish!
