@misslav@liberdon.com @terryenglish @lunduke what exactly does LBRY do better than PeerTube? My only complaint with PeerTube is that some instances are ridiculously slow to load videos.

@mikemac @misslav@liberdon.com @terryenglish @lunduke
So far, I haven't run into a video that's not "available"(no peers) on lbry. I ran into that all the time on peertube.

Do and share the same technological foundation? I know they're both peer to peer but does Peertube make use of the blockchain as well?

@terryenglish @mikemac @misslav@liberdon.com @lunduke
I don't believe so. That could be the factor here. Far as I know relies on seeds just like torrent. I'm not as educated as I'd like to be at this point.

@ericbarry
I guess as long as something decentralized and free/open-source knocks down I'll be happy. That platform has continued to get worse and worse since acquired it.

@ericbarry @terryenglish @misslav@liberdon.com @lunduke what does blockchain accomplish (or how is it being used) in a video sharing platform? How is it hosted? I tried to read up on it, but the details eluded me.
