Is there value in using social media, micro-blogging services (like Twitter, Librem Social, etc.) as a publishing platform for video creators?
Not to advertise the shows... to actually publish ON them?
Is that convenient?
Is that annoying?
Who knows! Let's find out!
@terryenglish @lunduke
LBRY is really nice
It just doesnt have the entire user base of the fediverse
@misslav @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 @terryenglish @lunduke
I dont ever really have slow loading unless its like a few hr long video but thats since i use the desktop client witch downloads the videos insted of streaming like the web client
Even with it being still in beta it works great on desktop
@mikemac @misslav @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.
@terryenglish @mikemac @misslav @lunduke
I don't believe so. That could be the factor here. Far as I know #peertube relies on seeds just like torrent. I'm not as educated as I'd like to be at this point.
@terryenglish @mikemac @misslav @lunduke
I'm right there with you.
@ericbarry @terryenglish @misslav @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.
@terryenglish @ericbarry @mikemac @lunduke
I dont think peertube or really any fediverse implementation uses block chain
Or im talking out of my ass
@ericbarry @mikemac @terryenglish @lunduke
Thats mainly because they have a main server that syncs with the nodes
@misslav @mikemac @terryenglish @lunduke Thanks for the info.
@lunduke
If the #Fediverse can deliver stable and high quality live streaming/video hosting that would entice a lot of content creators to come aboard. There's lots of "controversial" content creators that are looking for a new home from #YouTube.
@terryenglish @lunduke
A bunch of people have back ups on lbry and bitchute
@terryenglish @lunduke Not if their goal is to censor your account cause you are too much for them.
@lunduke I am in the camp of going to the platform (LBRY) to see your videos. However, I do like the this *bonus clip!
@lunduke
To be honest, I don't subscribe to any changes on YouTube or lbry it any other streaming platform. In the case of your show, I actually do wait for you to post here on librem social.
@lunduke Nope, I don't subscribe to any social media feed to get video. Also, the video quality was pretty bad.
@zachdecook @lunduke RSS feeds are great but have had a decline in support.
But, otherwise I prefer playing your show up on LBRY or Invidious (PeerTube Perhaps?).
The issue is the notification management sucks for these. RSS is much better.
(marking as read and whatnot)
@lunduke this is much more convenient. If the show gets hosted on any activitypub platform that means i never have to leave the app I use to browse mastodon, which to me is a good thing.
Two minutes and 20 seconds is a bit in the short side though :p just quit twitter and come straight to peertube/mastodon? 😅
@lunduke if you use peertube it will be posted in the fediverse (mastodon, pozelfed, pleroma etc.) as if they were on those platforms.
Maybe if there was a fork of peertube they could call something like librem.video or something, peertube would have a cool instance to push the platform to the next level. 😁
Don’t know how they’d feel about it but hearing with them about it wouldn’t hurt I guess.
@lunduke people will also be able to comment on videos using mastodon without needing a peertube account by replying to he peertube video «toot»
@lunduke Mmm, the lilliputian show was a bit #phail due to time limit.
The #Fediverse has no such limitations. And a reply can be anything - a response podcast is an option.
If Fediverse is the primary publishing platform, which is then bridged to Youtube and other corporate walled gardens, I think you could save some time/effort in publishing. And, within the fora, it would at least be more convenient for *me* - they all come in through whatever client I choose. It's all about me.
@lunduke only on Mastodon. You don't need to support Twitter with your video uploads.
@lunduke
I'm subscribed to a few on social media for their videos. But yep, I mostly go to the original site to view the video, especially if on Youtube, as that shows on the monitor I use for video content.
@lunduke i love it.. Keep them coming. ..and consider uploading the longer format videos to peertube. You are one of a few content creaters who keep me imprisoned in 'planet google' .. Ironic isn't it! 😯
@lunduke
Huh. I never considered the idea of a show being hosted *on* micro blogging platforms. That actually kind of gives me an idea...
@lunduke I'm seeing this 5 days later, because I forget I have social media and just don't log in very often. I'm mostly found on lbry.
@lunduke If there was greater integration between software like #Mastodon, #Pleroma etc. and #Peertube then we may have a winning combination that could possibly give the public a viable, free speech alternative to #YouTube.
