I wish Peertube would be succesful, but i don’t really see it.
I have searched for a gaming focused server in the past and haven’t found one. Seem you were more sucesful than me. But i think finding the best server for youself is kind of harder on peertube
i don’t really see, how peertube server are able to solve the issue, that peertube server need way bigger memory space than lemmy or mastodon. How would they able to fund this in a larger scale?
People will at some point need to realize that they have to donate and not pay a compulsory fee for products that are worth the money. It may not be apparent now but this is where the world is heading. When Youtube Premium also starts having ads and there’s a higher tier for no ads then things will start moving and fast.
I don’t believe you are right with that. If popular websites have more ads, we just see more ad blocker. I donate for my Mastodon and Lemmy server, but the vast majority of people will never pay for something like peertube, i just don’t believe that.
PeerTube makes way, way more sense as a self-hosting platform for small and medium sized creators. That means the creators shoulder the burden of hosting their own content, and recoup those costs from their viewers via such vectors as Patreon. Having Patreon integration, direct one-time donation options, and user access levels for channels and/or videos so that subscriber-only content can be easily managed would go a long way towards this.
The Fediverse’s current model of “donate to your serve admin using a completely disconnected 3rd party payment processor” isn’t going to fly if you want actual popular anndprofrsional video content. Especially when the server admin is not the content creator.
Yes that is the big issue with this video platforms. Video streaming is a demanding task. And I can’t even imagine how much storage would we need to have something remotely similar to YouTube. Google was able to run YouTube because it had free money coming in , now the funds are drying up so more ads coming their way.
I finished Quake 2: Call of the Machine. It’s definitely my favorite of the Machine Games campaigns, for Quake 1 and 2, and probably my favorite Quake campaign in general. It’s still the same formula as the others, a hub that connects a bunch of different levels, where you need to collect items to unlock the final boss. This campaign is a bit more challenging than the other Q2 ones, but not that hard. It’s also not as confusing, so that’s a plus for me as well. I think I’ll skip Quake 64 and Quake 2 64, since they seem to just be kind of remixes of the PC game. I’d rather play Doom 64, since that’s a whole different game.
While I was waiting for the Quake 2 patch the past few weeks, I tried out Wolfenstein 3D and finished the first episode, but it was kinda boring. This week I played through the second episode and it’s pretty much the same. I think the game is a bit too basic for me. It’s crazy that Doom came out not even two years later and is just such a massive improvement. I’ll probably play through the third episode as well, just to kill Hitler, and then I’m done with the game. Since the Steam release just used Dosbox, I swapped that for the ECWolf source port, which has a few more modern features and QoL improvements.
I’m also done with Pillars of Eternity: The White March, the two expansions to the game. I wasn’t really that into it, but I knew if I didn’t play through them this week, I’d probably never do it. Taking that break for Divinity 2 just killed all my enthusiasm I still had for the game. There were some good moments, but I’m not a fan that this was just slotted in the middle of the base game. While you’re on the clock and deal with some world ending threat, you just take a few months off and do the same somewhere else. Still glad I can finally put this game down and eventually play Pillars 2.
Lastly, I started Pathfinder: Kingmaker. It’s my first time with the Pathfinder system, and I had a really tough time deciding on my character. In the end, I went with a Scaled Fist Monk, because I want to punch people. I’m still really early, I made it out of the tutorial yesterday and saved the merchant from the Bandits earlier today. I’ll take it slow for now and get used to everything.
I need to find a hat, backpack, and some shoes so I can hopefully survive fighting a genetically engendered duck with the body of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the grim reaper, and a noodle bowl…
Assassin’s Creed Mirage. It’s refreshing to have the game be about stealth again, after years of just hack-and-slash. Yeah, there’s nothing really new here, but that’s kinda the point.
Diablo IV is on the backburner. I finally hit level 100 last week and have only two trophies remaining: Get 5 PvP kills (I have 2; other players aren’t easy to just stumble upon, especially those I can easily beat) and Defeat Uber Lilith (which I’m not going to be able to do by myself and coordinating with other players is not something I want to put any effort into doing).
I want an alternative to youtube as much as anyone, but I just don’t see how peertube can be viable in a world where child abuse materials and nazi propaganda exist and can be posted there.
I mean, at least as of when I last looked at peertube, it works sort of like torrenting does, yeah? But it doesn’t require you to whitelist the channels or instances you seed. Therefore: random people are going to end up seeding child abuse materials, revenge porn, hate screed videos, and so on, unknowingly and without intending to.
Lemmy already has had issues with child abuse materials because of federation and poor moderation tools. An image will get posted on one instance, then it automatically gets copied to other instances, and even if the original instances delete the image that doesn’t automatically delete it off other instances. Admins have to manually contact other admins, who then each have go in and painstakingly delete it manually, and that’s if all those different admins see and respond to the message. This is a problem that has been growing as lemmy gets bigger and more popular. And this is just with instance hosts - with peertube, you have individuals seeding/contributing to the hosting.
So it seems to me that peertube as it is involves a degree of moral and legal (since people can and have been deemed legally responsible for seeding torrents before) risk that is just not worth it a compared to the privacy-invading but blessedly safe option of youtube.
And even if individuals decided that risk was fine, advertisers absolutely won’t, which makes the platform a no-go for channels that depend on ads rather than patreon or merch for their livelihoods.
I’ll be happy if there’s a reliable way around this problem that doesn’t completely break the mechanism whereby peertube is supposed to work, but as of now I can’t see one.
