How do we get good content from a platform that is explicitly copyleft? Will the vast majority of creators use this even as a backup?
- zelphirkalt 5y agoWhy would copyleft have anything to do with the quality of content people upload? I am not quite following the connection there.
- mattl 5y agoMost people don’t care about the license of a place to put their videos
- detaro 5y agoThen why did you bring it up at all?
- mattl 5y agoIt’s literally all over the Peertube homepage
- Weryj 5y agoThe license of the source code doesn't apply to the content hosted.
- mattl 5y agoI know. But people who cares about the server code care more about such things. I made a copyleft movie and the PeerTube site I put it on went down forever. YouTube and archive.org remain up

The same way we get good software from a ´community´ which is explicitly copyleft. > Will the vast majority of creators use this even as a backup? The best way to use platforms like Peertube and Odysee is by using it as a primary source, with Youtube and Vimeo essentially playing the role of CDN. Should the censors not like your video for $reasons they can block them 'till they turn ultraviolet but they can not deny anyone access to them. Make sure to advertise your alternative distribution channel(s), use the same channel names and video titles so they can be found through regular web search and you're set [1]. [1] that it, until censorship reaches the network layer
- mattl 5y agoI think that’s a bad idea because I don’t want people to think watching video on a computer is okay. Video (movies) should be enjoyed on a big screen with a good screen. These platforms should give creators a way to prohibit viewing on small screens, Linux, etc.
- MathCodeLove 5y agoIs this satire?
- 8eye 5y agosounds like my film prof at uni
- midasuni 5y agoWhy does absolute size matter? Viewing angle is surely far more important, with something made for THX being optimised for 40° And as for blocking the most popular video playing platform out there - at least for large screens - the only question would be “why”
