- Our aim is not to replace them, but rather to simultaneously offer something else, with different values. -
-- Anyone with a modicum of technical skills can host a PeerTube server, aka an instance. - Each instance hosts its users and their videos. - In this way, every instance is created, moderated and maintained independently by various administrators. -
- -- You can still watch from your account videos hosted by other instances though - if the administrator of your instance had previously connected it with other instances. -
- -- And there's more! PeerTube uses Activity Pub, a federating protocol that allows you to interact with other - software, provided they also use this protocol. For example, PeerTube and Mastodon -a Twitter alternative- are connected: - you can follow a PeerTube user from Mastodon (the latest videos from the PeerTube account you follow will appear - in your feed), and even comment on a PeerTube-hosted video directly from your Mastodon's account. -
-- Mainstream online video broadcasting services make money off of your data by analyzing your interactions - so that they can then bombard your with targeted advertising. -
- -- Most importantly, you are a person to PeerTube, not a product in need of profiling so as to be stuck in video - loops. - For example, PeerTube doesn't use any biased recommendation algorithms to keep you online for hours on end. -
- -- All of this is made possible by Peertube's free/libre license (GNU-AGPL). - Its code is a digital "common", that belongs to everybody, instead of a secret formula that belongs to Google - (in the case of Youtube) or to Vivendi/Bolloré (Dailymotion). - This free/libre license guarantees our fundamental freedoms as users and allows many contributors to offer evolutions - and new features. -
-- In this way, when you watch a video, your computer contributes to its broadcast. - If a lot of people are watching the same video at the same time, their browser automatically send smalls pieces of the - video to the other viewers. - The server resources are not over-exploited: the stream is split, the network optimized. -
- -- It might not look like it, but thanks to peer-to-peer broadcasting, popular video makers and their videos are no longer - forced to be hosted by big companies, whose infrastructure can stand thousands of views at the same time... or to pay for a - robust but extremely expensive independent video host. + TODO: write something about our inclusion rules etc here
- Peertube is a free/libre software funded by a French non-profit organization: Framasoft -
- -- Our organization started in 2004, and now devotes itself to popular education about digital technology issues. - We are a small structure of less than 40 members and under 10 employees, well-known for the De-google-ify Internet project, - when we offered 34 ethical and alternative online tools. As a public interest organization, over 90% of our funding - comes from donations (tax deductible for French taxpayers). -
- -- Thanks to our crowdfunding (from March to July 2018), - Framasoft were able to employ PeerTube's main developer. - After a beta release in March 2018, release 1 came out in November 2018. - Since then, several intermediary releases have brought many features along. - Several collectives have already created PeerTube hosts, laying the foundation for the federation. -
- -- - The more people use, support, and contribute to PeerTube, the quicker it will become a concrete alternative to platforms like - YouTube. - -
