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?

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