This doesn’t really tell me anything about each network. There’s just a paragraph of free association about them as a physical place, usually with a bunch of misspellings. Presumably you’ve read through the info of each network; synopsize them and tell us what existing corporate site each one is most trying to work like? All the clever positioning breaks down on the iPad mini I’m sitting in bed reading this on. I just get two columns of circular images, with captions nearer to the next image than the one they’re supposed to be for. It seems to work properly if I turn to landscape but... You’re missing Secure Scuttlebutt. And the decentralized video sharing network whose name I can’t remember.

Most decentralized video sharing services I've seen are built on blockchain which this site explicitly denounces in regards to social media. The only federated video sharing alternative I'm aware of is PeerTube: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube

  Yeah, I think that's it.

  This is splendid. Here's a list of instances that you can try: https://instances.peertu.be/instances https://instances.peertu.be/instances I wonder if - two peers who streams in different resolution (say 360 and 1080p) can share data through P2P to lighten the load for the main instance. - if it will be possible to associate a magnet link (for instance, taken from TPB) with a hosted video to allow for peers to leech from the network.

Misspellings, yep. Corrected a couple. Stating "what existing corporate site each one is most trying to work like" is not what most developers of those networks would appreciate. It's usually new users, journalists who compare federated networks to corporate ones. Easy to grasp for non-tech users. The experience will always be different. Good idea to name strong points each federated network has compared to other federated neighbours though. Adding PeerTube is on the list. There's a chance it'll work better on iPad mini next time ( but I can't promise).
