  • When I say quality I’m not talking about like Hollywood. I’m more trying to talk about good, fun, no misinformation, NP hate speech etc. Right now I’ve funded this nonprofit myself. And I have so much I can put into it. I’m just trying to give folks choice as well. I talk with a lot of people and while I’ve been able to recommend platforms people kind of turn off if I don’t ha e a direct way to help them. And lots of folks don’t want to trust some random dude, but are more open when they hear it’s a real business.

    As for charging for storage, I don’t know if we’ll do that. Right now my goal is to get people involved. Hopefully donations, or sponsorships or grants can help with that. It was one avenue of thought.



  • I agree. We’re in a chicken and egg problem. No creators because no viewers, no viewers because no creators. I’ve started Fireside Fedi to help make some kind of content. I’m setting up this NonProfit to show there’s an actual business behind it. I’ve opened the Peertube to attempt to make that barrier to entry lower.

    I have some ideas on how to help people upload to multiple places easier, but I’m no dev and need to talk to a friend I could probably interest.

    Thank you for the welcome. :-)

    I’m running my own auto-follow index at ptindex.btfree.org if you’d like to get added to it.

    Also going to attempt to create a search index this week. I have found far too many unsavory instances on the public on. So attempting to provide value with building our own.
