MODERATORS
We are starting next two releases of Normals to allow users to create audio streaming for their communities. However we still are unsure if allowing video streaming can be possible. Unfortunately our infrastructure does not allow it for videos. The idea is to find an alternative (not YouTube) for them to upload them after it finishes.
Please don't just dump your user uploads on someone's else's infrastructure unless you're paying for their upkeep.
Please elaborate better you question because it is unclear what you want to communicate.
Storage and bandwidth both cost money. If you're going to host & serve a lot of data from someone else's service, you should be paying them. Or at least getting permission.
I am not asking a question. I am telling you, do not abuse the good graces of people running Peertube or other video platforms.
First I tell you what filter I'm using and so you change your post footer to avoid it, so you can continue to spam the fediverse with links to your instance.
Now you are looking for somewhere to leech video storage from.
Goddam. You're really determined to burn through any and all goodwill, aren't you.
I don't get it. So do you want to find an audience or just store videos somewhere?
YouTube alternatives are so far only good to just dump a video and share the link with a friend.
For anything more than that, YouTube is still the only viable option.
