From: Chocobozzz You're right. PeerTube 1.0 is not the perfect tool, far from it. And we never promised that this version 1.0 would be a\n"
-" tool that would include all the features corresponding to all cases. PeerTube 1.0 is the realization of the commitment we made in October 2017 to take PeerTube from an alpha version (personal\n"
-" project and proof of concept that a federated video platform could work) to a 1.0 version in October 2018 (which does not mean\n"
-" \"final version\", but \"version considered stable and distributable\"). Remember that PeerTube has only one (almost) full time developer and a small handful of very involved volunteers. It is not a\n"
-" product developed by a start-up with a full time team (dev, design, UX, marketing, support, etc.) and significant financial\n"
-" support. It is a Community free software, the development of which will continue over the months and, we hope, in the years to\n"
-" come. We are well aware of the shortcomings of PeerTube 1.0, especially in the moderation tools area (videos, comments, etc.). And\n"
-" we intend to work on these weaknesses. We have chosen to do so as follows: on the one hand we will work primarily in the coming months to improve these tools within\n"
-" PeerTube itself (in the core of the software). On the other hand, we will also focus, in parallel, a large part of\n"
-" PeerTube's development effort during 2019 on the integration of a plugin system, which can be developed by the communities.\n"
-" Indeed, we do not claim to have the science behind it and know how best to manage each of the tools according to each of the\n"
-" needs. For example: with regard to the question of DMCA requests, cases vary according to geographical jurisdictions (European\n"
-" law is different from French law, itself different from Canadian law, itself different from American law, etc.). Concerning\n"
-" the tools for moderating comments, here again, we cannot decree ourselves experts of the subject, because this is simply not\n"
-" the case. By acting both on the core, but also by allowing the development of plugins, we believe that PeerTube will, in the\n"
-" long term, be able to respond much better to these issues and allow different communities to adapt PeerTube to their needs.\n"
-" We are working as quickly as possible to improve PeerTube, but we are doing so with the resources we have, which means\n"
-" very limited. In the meantime, as an user if you feel that PeerTube 1.0 does not currently meet your needs, it's simple: don't use it right\n"
-" now :) (we remind you that we don't make money developing PeerTube, and that if we obviously hope for its success, the\n"
-" survival of our association doesn't depend on it). As an administrator, if you are afraid of DMCA requests, there is an option to limit the opening of registrations to people\n"

\nBy acting both on the core, but also by allowing the development of plugins, we believe that PeerTube will, in the\n long term, be able to respond much better to these issues and allow different communities to adapt PeerTube to their needs.\n
\nWe are working as quickly as possible to improve PeerTube, but we are doing so with the resources we have, which means\n very limited.
\nIn the meantime, as an user if you feel that PeerTube 1.0 does not currently meet your needs, it's simple: don't use it right\n now :) (we remind you that we don't make money developing PeerTube, and that if we obviously hope for its success, the\n survival of our association doesn't depend on it).
\nAs an administrator, if you are afraid of DMCA requests, there is an option to limit the opening of registrations to people\n you know. You will then be able to reopen registrations without verification once these verification tools have been\n integrated, or you have developed them.
","\n It's software you install on your server to create a website where videos are hosted and broadcast...\n Basically: you create your own \"homemade YouTube\"!\n
\nThere already exists free/libre software that enables you to do this. But with PeerTube, you can link your instance (your\n video website) to Zaïd's PeerTube instance (where he hosts videos of the lectures for his people's university), to Catherin's\n (who hosts her webmedia videos) or even to Solar's PeerTube instance (who manages a vloggers collective).
\n\n But PeerTube doesn't centralize: it federates. Thanks to the\n ActivityPub\n protocol (also used by\n the Mastodon federation,\n a free/libre Twitter alternative), PeerTube can federate several small hosters so they don't have to buy thousands of hard\n disks to host videos for the whole world.\n
\nAs a result, on your PeerTube website, the audience will be able to watch not only your videos, but also videos hosted by\n Zaïd, Catherin or Solar... without having to host their videos on your PeerTube-powered website. Such diversity in a\n video-catalog makes it very attractive. Such a large choice and diversity of videos is what made centralized platforms such as\n YouTube succesful.\n
\n\n Federation offers another benefit: everyone becomes independent. Zaïd, Catherin, Solar and yourself can make\n your own rules, your own Terms of Services (for example, one can imagine a MeowTube where dogs videos are strictly forbidden\n 😉).\n

The other big advantage of PeerTube is that your hoster doesn't have to fear the sudden success of one of your videos.
Indeed, PeerTube broadcasts videos with the protocol
WebTorrent.
If hundreds of people are watching your video at the same time, their browsers automatically send bits of your video to other
viewers.

But above all, PeerTube treats you like a person, not as a product that it has to track, profile, and lock
in video loops to better sell your available brain time. Thus, the
source code
(the recipe) of the PeerTube software is open, making its operation transparent.

For example, in France, discriminatory content
is prohibited
and may be reported to the authorities. PeerTube allows users to report problematic videos, and each administrator must then
apply its moderation in accordance with its terms and conditions and the law.
