What keeps you away from PeerTube? What features does PeerTube lack? If you were the developer of PeerTube, how would you improve it?
I want the ability to have everything behind a login. I don’t want people not signed in watching videos and wasting bandwidth.
You can. You can set a video as “internal only”. So only users registered on the server, can watch it.
Yes but they won’t federate out which defeats the point of peertube.
True, but I wouldn’t want to have a wallen garden, like Instagram or Twitter, where it forces you to create a user.
It would be instance by instance policy. I think there are many cases where an instance should only be available to users behind a login while still federating with its network.
@Fizz @meldrik in Free Software nothing ever “defeats the point” it just may not fit your particular use case. One of the advantages of Free Software is that it can be used by anyone for any reasons.
