Comment on PSA on privuhcy
echodot@feddit.uk 1 day agoWell no because pretty much all of the content on there is provided by you. Don’t get me wrong there’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s not exactly a vibrant community it’s basically you uploading content and that is it.
If this service is supposed to replace YouTube it needs lots of content.

It’s not a “community” it’s a video server. I’m sharing video content I made.
I could open up the federation aspect and letting you and others comment, helping it to scale, but for now I chose not to.
There are PeerTube instances doing that though, i.e. federating, allowing comments from the instance, other instances, also content that is paid for. My instance though again is not like that.
I find it surprising that someone on Lemmy makes assumption about centralization. My instance does NOT try to reproduce YouTube yet I believe, I hope at least, does provide again potential “content” to viewers. It’s never going to be YouTube but for me that’s OK, in fact I would argue, that’s better.
