Since video hosting requires so many more resources than image hosting, I have these questions about #PeerTube :
What are the hosting costs of PeerTube instances?
How do these instances deal with financing themselves?
As I understand it, if a Fediverse user views content from a different instance, then this content will be downloaded to their own instance. Is this understanding correct?
If so, is this also true for PeerTube videos - which means that, say, a Mastodon user following a PeerTube account will cause a lot of additional load (and thus hosting costs) for their home instance?
I haven't followed the #TheBadSpace discussion in all details... but isn't the whole point of the #Fediverse that people can curate their own experiences rather than having their own timeline be determined by corporate algorithms?
And obviously, different users with different backgrounds have different perspectives and needs. Obviously, #BIPOC people - who represent a much smaller percentage of users of Mastodon than it is the case with, say, Twitter - have different perspective on what they need for curating block lists.
Thus, I think the concept behind TheBadSpace is sound. And if it doesn't work out in practice, then I hope that other BIPOC Mastodon users come up with their own systems.
But "one size fits all" lists for defederation are not and will never be sufficient. We desperately need different perspectives if we are to grow, and hopefully supplant corporate social media.
And supplanting corporate social media should be the goal, since they are all riling people up against each other for the sake of "engagement". We are already seeing where this leads.
I just noticed I missed this pretty massive tidbit of information from @joinpeertube regarding the roadmap for #PeerTube
"…Official PeerTube mobile application (end of 2024)"
:amaze:
This has been a long-requested development from the PeerTube community, and something I hear from our #tilvids community all the time. What an exciting development from an amazing organization! 🙌
I'm curious… what's the definition of "active users" versus "total users" regarding #Fediverse instances? How are those calculated?
The Pixelfed instance I'm on reports well over 100k users, but only 5.4k active users. I don't see how there are that many inactive users. What's up? 🤔
The other (not this one) Mastodon instance I'm on has more active users but far fewer total.
The alpha version of @gotosocial now has support for allowlists.
Allowlists automatically prevent federation with all other servers, except those that the admin has added to their allowlist. (Traditional blocklists work the other way round, allowing all federation unless a server is blocked.)
Allowlists bring more safety but also reduce reach, and that's why it's up to each admin to decide whether to use them.
p.s. For non-techy people wondering what GoToSocial is, it's another kind of Fediverse server.
It's compatible with Mastodon, so GoToSocial and Mastodon users can follow each other, but GoToSocial is made by totally different developers and uses totally different software.
The emphasis on GoToSocial is being "lightweight", so servers use fewer resources. They're also trying to emphasise user safety,
GoToSocial is still in development, but should be going to beta testing next year. 🤞

Just a heads up. The latest Friendica is going to have some nomenclature changes for Groups (now called Circles) and a reordering of action buttons on posts/comments to align with the order other sites use. Along with some other bug fixes and tweaks, I'm updating Relatica to reflect that as well. #relatica#friendica#fediverse
There are those who believe they can bring into existence what they imagine.
On the other hand, there are those who don't even believe other people exist: they think their mind is the one forming images and that others are part of their mind.
As for me, I am intelligent and I believe in God.
Water did not create itself.
Let me hear from atheists who think water created itself.
I have a friend, who is a carpenter. I swear he can imagine a beautiful wooden cabinet, and with some hours of work with right tools and materials, honest, he can bring it into existence. It’s amazing!
