PeerTube is software that you install on a web server. It allows you to create a video hosting website, so create your "homemade YouTube".
deleting a video,
The difference to YouTube is that it's not intended to create a huge platform centralizing videos from the whole world on a single server farm (which is horribly expensive).
On the contrary, PeerTube's concept is to create a network of multiple small interconnected video hosting providers.
PeerTube is unique because (as far as we know) it's the only video hosting web application which combines three advantages:

How do I install my own PeerTube platform?
Here is the link!
PeerTube is developed by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://framasoft.org">Framasoft</a>, a French non-profit popular educational organization on digital issues.
PeerTube 1.0 is the realization of the commitment we made in October 2017 to take PeerTube from an alpha version (personal project and proof of concept that a federated video platform could work) to a 1.0 version in October 2018 (which does not mean "final version", but "version considered stable and distributable").
It employs a developer, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://github.com/Chocobozzz">Chocobozzz</a>, who works since 2018 on PeerTube projects:
Development of new features and software maintenance;
displaying sensitive video thumbnails or not,
However, Framasoft reserves the right to use trademark law, especially in case of damage to the image of the PeerTube project, edited by Framasoft.

Federation offers another benefit: <strong>everyone becomes independent</strong>. Zaïd, Catherin, Solar and yourself can make your own rules, your own Terms of Services (for example, one can imagine a MeowTube where dogs videos are strictly forbidden 😉).
During July we will continue to develop features such as:
I want to watch videos
PeerTube support and discussions on bugtrackers, forum, IRC or by email;
If a video is less than 30 seconds in length, a view is sent after 75% of the video duration.
Pull requests/merge requests reviews, merges, and support of features added by external contributions (bug fixes, documentation, refactor, etc.);
During the crowdfunding campaign, we continued to work on the localization system. And we are happy to announce it's finally completed: it will be available in the next beta (beta 10) of PeerTube. As of this writing, the web interface is already available in english, french, basque, catalan, czech and esperanto (huge thank you to all of the translators). If you too want to help translating PeerTube, do not hesitate to check out the documentation!
Maintenance of several PeerTube instances (peertube.cpy.re, peertube2.cpy.re, etc.).
If you have a minimum amount of time and technical skills, creating your own platform (also called "instance") <strong>on your server</strong> is the best way to take advantage of PeerTube.
Moreover, Chocobozzz works on internal Framasoft's projects (<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://framapad.org">Framapad</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://framatalk.org">Framatalk</a>, etc.). In other words, the management of PeerTube projects is operated by only one employee, who has other responsabilities in addition to his workload.
Other Framasoft's volunteers and salaried members also contribute to the PeerTube project on various aspects (strategy, communication, development, community animation). Nevertheless, PeerTube is not developed by a startup with a team of 50 people, and a workflow full of hyper-formatted processes.

Hi,

Instance word is unfortunately not understood by common people. So we decided to use the "platform" term in english instead. Of course you decide the most appropriate word in your translations! :)

@chocobozzz In most of the similar cases I’ve seen, “instance” is the term used for your “platform”, reserving “”platform” for the uninstalled form of the given software. Is there a specific reason for you choice? TIA!
