#PeerTube is free/libre software alternative to YouTube
-- federated (uses ActivityPub)
-- peer2peer streaming
-- currently in beta
non-profit @Framasoft is crowdfunding its development
https://www.kisskissbankbank.com/en/projects/peertube-a-free-and-federated-video-platform
this project is already usable (more than 50 instances)
and can be a game-changer.
Boost its development and give it more visibility.

These are just the interesting #decentralization projects I can think of off the cuff. There are so many more: https://github.com/redecentralize/alternative-internet
Has anybody done an academic survey, with goals, pros, cons of each?
@Nobabs27 I can't tell if I can favorite people's toots by going to their profile either...
I like Whalebird so far, it has a dark theme, but no Ctrl+F style search that I can see...
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Windows, is in fact, NSA/Windows, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, NSA plus Windows. Windows is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning NSA system made useful by the NSA corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by MS. Many computer users run a modified version of the NSA system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of NSA which is widely used today is often called “Windows”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the NSA system, developed by the NSA Project. There really is a Windows, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Windows is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Windows is normally used in combination with the NSA operating system: the whole system is basically NSA with Windows added, or NSA/Windows. All the so-called “Windows” distributions are really distributions of NSA/Windows.

Like, I totally get how you can feel burned out by the media's coverage of politics, but avoiding discourse altogether and living in willful ignorance probably contributes to a lot of problems?
So I have found several blogs talking about the linuxrocks outage. Most were in frustration of the outage and thinking we just up and shutdown. Rest assure we have no plans to go anywhere. If we did there will be much conversation and with opportunities to pass the instance on to someone else if we did decide to walk away. We all know no one is immune from outages even Amazon and Google has seen their fair shares the best we can do is learn from them and prepare best we can.
What are some good PeerTube instances that have active admins, no upload limit, and nothing nsfw on the front page?
I need to start keeping better track of all the #ActivityPub implementations being developed. 😛
