πŸ“Ή2. What is Peertube?

Advantages of PeerTube over centralised platforms include:

  • Decentralisation: Since it's decentralised, no single entity controls the entire platform, which reduces the risk of censorship and gives more autonomy to instance administrators.

  • Customization and control: Instance administrators can tailor their servers to their community's needs, setting their own rules and guidelines for content moderation and privacy.

  • Reduced reliance on big tech: Users aren't dependent on a single company for their video hosting needs, promoting diversity and innovation in the video hosting space.

  • Federated network: Users from different instances can interact with each other, comment, and subscribe across instances, fostering a broader and more interconnected community.

  • Open-source nature: Being open-source allows developers to contribute, improve, and innovate the platform collectively, ensuring transparency and community involvement in its development.
