Active users and number of servers also recently reach all time high.
If you want to learn how to create a good open source project for the fediverse. i think peertube is the best role model for that.
Love Peertube.
I gotta admit, PeerTube is really beginning to stabilize into a platform I’d consider using. Imma have to take another look when I have to time.
My biggest issue isn’t the platform. My biggest issue is that 99% of the content is Veronica explaining linux.
Can we…uh…get some OTHER content?
That’s been a problem with the platform for a couple years. It goes something like this: Video hosting is expensive, and moderating video is complicated. So most instances don’t allow open registration and posting.
When you have a video platform without anyone allowed to post videos… Well, it’s not gonna be good.
The only videos that could get posted were from people with an established audience on another platform like YouTube, or else someone passionate enough to run their own server (which requires lots of time, money, and technical know-how).
For a creator who already has an audience, there is absolutely no incentive to jump to federation. It’s more effort for a smaller audience on a less reliable platform. So of course it’s all Veronica explains Linux because that is the only kind of creator who would have an ideological interest of doing it despite the disincentives.
Or else it’s not a knowledgeable and capable creator, but someone with just a lot of time, money, and passion. Do you read a lot of self-published books? Not too many Pulitzers in there. There is a reason you can count on one hand the number of self produced films that are actually good.
Creativity requires openness and freedom. Peertube has been (ironically) one of the most closed video platforms on the internet. For new creators, it’s been impossible to get on and just experiment. That means no innovation, which translates to no good content.
From a cursory look, that seems to be changing. There are now a few instances like that appear to be stable and have open, moderated registration. If that continues, we will begin to see more variety of quality content.

401.You are not authorized here. You might need to login to see the resource.
Is it supposed to do that? Never seen peertube ask me for an account login before, while telling me I’m unauthorized. Unclear if glitch, or requirement for live streams on peertube.
Huh. Idk. I’m not the admin. I just moved my yt content over there a bit further back.
Might have been a settings issue? Sorry I’m still learning about the details of streaming to peertube.
