   Personally, I'm really stoked for this project, and I love that it's made so much progress so far.
   
   PeerTube Releases v.1.0.0 Beta 1
   
   
   

   PeerTube, the decentralized YouTube alternative, has just made a new milestone release. The project has come a long way, and already sports a vastly improved UI and federated comments.

      Videos are stored in webtorrents and shared via ActivityPub. I just wish they'd spend a bit more time helping us work through the federation issues. The federated web isn't just Mastodon. [Edit: I keep forgetting, Diaspora folks can't see my comments. Never mind.]

      Do you have a link where they explain how to use it? I found the webpage but there is no option to create an account

      is there an instance up anywhere that you might recommend trying?
      
      also, is there anything about Peertube that you are more partial to in approach over Bitchute?

      They should build it with #Tor support, should be quite easy, but let's see how it continues.

      They'd probably be completely willing to do so, right now it looks like they're mostly working on core foundation stuff. I do see an open issue for Hubzilla AP support; it probably wouldn't hurt to pipe up and let the creator know that people from Hubzilla want to follow PeerTube accounts.

      I'm trying to spin up a node using Docker-Compose, but I keep getting an error about being unable to contact my SMTP server. I installed netcat into the container and verified that it can, in fact, be reached from within peertube. ☹️

      Worked around the issue by disabling SMTP for the time being. Still getting an error from WebSockets despite enabling them in Apache, but am able to upload and view videos.

      no, would cause too much traffic, just as they don't like you to use bittorrent either.
      
      solution would probably be a friend-to-friend connection mode like in #retroshare.

       Sean are you able to follow peertube user ? I can from mastodon but not from hubzilla

       Hubzilla does not yet connect directly to peertube, There is an open bug on peertube. We have at this point discovered that they do not handle the 'url' attribute in the actor document correctly; but even if we supply the data which they are expecting to find, there are unknown additional errors on their end resulting in connection failure. At this point we need somebody with a peertube installation that understands the code and read logs, and there does not appear to be sufficient motivation on that end to work with us and solve the problem.
