A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I don't think we'll see a Lemmy etc of YouTube unless a lot of people are cool with sharing their bandwidth for little benefit.
Yeah only way I see it working is if it's more of a peer to peer / torrenting concept. As in while you use it, you are "seeding" other videos / content as well.
PeerTube is exactly this, it's federated and uses WebTorrent. https://joinpeertube.org/
I recently stumbled over Odysee and am not exactly sure where to put them category wise. they are a federated service as well, aren't they?
No, Odysee/LBRY operates on blockchain/crypto. It aims to be decentralised, and in that sense it's bit like federation, but it's completely different.
