Still only corporate platforms unfortunately.
This feels a little like a "take this great thing and find something to complain about".
I don't think you're recognizing the challenges of live streaming to thousands of people at once. This would destroy any existing Peertube instance, and there is no reason for NY to set up their own when most of the population is elsewhere. I'm all for federation, but the infrastructure isn't there for this.
I'll personally choose to celebrate when leaders do something great instead of nitpicking their platform choices.
I'm not even complaining, just pointing out the obvious, even though I understand why it's the way it is.
As the other commenter said in a reply to this, people are quick to complain about a better solution just because it isn't perfect. But I'm not complaining because frankly I don't care that much.
I'm not from NYC, I'm not from the USA and I'm not even from that continent.
It's cool Zohran won the election, you guys should celebrate his feats and criticise his faults.
the "perfect" is the enemy of "good enough"
