What is libre culture?

Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.

Some beliefs include but aren't limited to:

That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules

I've looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I've distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.

Please show common courtesy: Let's make this community one that people want to be a part of.
Please keep posts generally on topic
No NSFW content
When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”

Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it's perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.

Hi everyone, I've been following the de-google-ify internet campaign of framasoft for several years now and have replace a lot of GAFAM services doing so but the only service I'm truly struggling with replacing is youtube.

I could never find anything with enough interesting content and I always find myself going back to youtube.

What about you?

did you stop using youtube?
where do you go instead?
do you just spend less time watching videos?

I prefer decentralized solutions but any FLOSS alternative is a good start.

Whats wrong or even different with "webtorrents"? I thought it was just a torrent client written in JS?

you're saying transmission or deluge should have a firefox plugin to facilitate watching videos that have been downloaded with them?

EDIT: I guess the problem is that you don't get to control seeding? maybe peertube just needs some UI features for that 🤔

WebTorrent is a distinct protocol from BitTorrent, that uses WebRTC instead of UDP/TCP. It aims to be as compatible with BitTorrent as feasible.
This has to exist because implementing the latter is impossible to implement on browsers, with JS.

I highly recommend you take a look at the Wikipedia article.
