Relaunching PeerTube.wtf

In the US its definitely not illegal to host a video of people smoking and promoting illegal substances.

In the US its only illegal to possess and sell.

"general use" =/= "allows everything"

That doesn't sound self sustaining, but thanks for replying

[meldrik@lemmy.wtf]

Monetization does not align with the principles of the Fediverse imho. Donations can help, but I don't believe that's sustainable either. I can do this because I have the time and the money. I wouldn't recommend doing this, if you had to rely on donations or monetization.

[ironkrill@lemmy.ca]

I would think many servers that accept donations don't rely on them. But taking donations while it is optional can stave off the time when donations would be necessary.

[jagged_circle@feddit.nl]

Monetization isnt inherently bad. Even ads can be dome in a way that does not violate user's privacy

[povoq@slrpnk.net]

I have been considering to use this: https://garagehq.deuxfleurs.fr/documentation/connect/apps/#peertube

Might make it easier to use an external server as a kind of CDN as well.

That bullet point had two sentences.

[feathercrown@lemmy.world]

"Every topic" doesn't necessarily literally mean like, illegal stuff

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

Eh always iffy on putting ads on other ppls content (thats all of the internet lol), at least the beauty of the fediverse is they can always leave and host it themselves. I'm sure ads could be done right but I've yet to see it.

People will say you cant expect ppl to do stuff for fre but thy always do they just get overshadowed by ppl making ad money spending money on marketing

[3dmvr@lemm.ee]

corporate sponsors with branding could be cool, but video ads, banner ads, clickable stuff I dont want to see and will always block,hope any instance blocks ads that try to creep into the fediverse
