Yeah, that's why the Fediverse is preferable to centralised social media. Use PeerTube for streaming, not YouTube or Twitch.

Is there a Fediverse option for livestreams?

There's also PeerTube which supports live streams and even supports distributing a sizable portion of the load via P2P. Clients can seed your stream and distribute it themselves, lightening the load on your server. I've used it a few times, it's very neat and it works well. Only con is the latency (it's around 2 minutes like old school twitch)

I don't really use peertube, but if it has livestreams I'll check it out, thanks!

Use PeerTube for streaming, not YouTube or Twitch.

Even though the vast majority of streamers do stream for 0 viewers, the idea is that they will get a viewer eventually.
