PeerTube developers are committed to develop and improve moderation tools to make instances always easier to manage. We welcome you to take part in discussions to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues">help ongoing efforts</a> in that direction or <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/issues/new">suggest new ones</a>!
Technical
With more than 100 000 hosted videos, viewed more than 6 millions times and 20 000 users, PeerTube is the decentralized free software alternative to videos platforms developed by Framasoft
PeerTube uses ActivityPub because this federation protocol is recommended by the W3C and is also used by other projects like the social network <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://joinmastodon.org/">Mastodon</a>.
March 2018 thus represents the birth of the PeerTube federations: the more this software will be used and supported, the more people will use it and contribute to it, and the faster it will evolve towards a concrete alternative to platforms such as YouTube.

It has been a very busy 6 months, but we have completed our roadmap and just released version 3 of PeerTube!
IPFS is a great technology, but it still seems too young for streaming large files. The PeerTube P2P system based on well established protocols like HTTP and WebRTC, and the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://docs.joinpeertube.org/admin-following-instances?id=instances-redundancy">redundancy system</a> are more easy for us to use and to maintain.
With PeerTube, chose <strong>your hosting company and the rules you believe in.</strong>
It implements all stretch goals we planned in our crowdfunding:
DTube does not seem open source, because publishing only compiled code hinders freedom of modification.
Store videos in the server filesystem or in object storage
PeerTube does not impose any remuneration model. This is the choice we have made, and others (like DTube) have made other choices. So it's up to you to see what suits you.
Since the first stable release of PeerTube in October 2018, <strong>every release</strong> added or improved moderation features:
It is now possible to display comments according to 2 criteria: the most recent first (default display) or most replies first.
Historical reason.
Yes, core PeerTube (PeerTube without installed plugins/themes) is compatible with GDPR:
Take a server for example with a 1 Gbit/s uplink for example pushing out 1080p60 streams at 5 Mbit/s per stream.

P2P can be disabled by default
Sepia does its best to display videos, channels and playlists matching your search, but its <strong>SepiaSearch tool is neither the publisher nor the owner of this content</strong>.

PeerTube REST API
Hall of Fame
It doesn't send personal data to any third party if P2P is disabled
It was already possible to report videos, and now you can also report accounts and comments. It's very simple to inform moderators of an instance about a problematic account. Go to the account page, click on the 3 horizontal dots on the right of the profile name, and select <i>Report this account</i>. A window will appear in which you can indicate the issue encountered and/or describe it. In the same way, it is now easy to report a comment: click on the <i>Options</i> menu under the comment you wish to report and select <i>Report this comment</i>.

It was not included in the crowdfunding, but we created an "Overview" page, that displays videos of some categories/tags/channels picked randomly, to show the diversity of the videos uploaded on PeerTube. You can see <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://peertube3.cpy.re/videos/overview">a demonstration here</a>.
That means the absolute theoretical upper capacity bound is 200 simultaneous viewers if your server's disk i/o can keep up.
Administrators can manually export users data from the database. An automatic export tool will be available in the future

The feature is called "server redundancy" and caches your most popular videos to help serve additional viewers.

Moreover, each administrator decides with which instances he wants to federate: he has the full control of the content he wants to display on his instance. It's up to him to choose the policy regarding this kind of videos. He can decide to:

Install PeerTube
Therefore, you may find inappropriate videos on some PeerTube platforms. But it's far from being the majority of the PeerTube content.
These actions aim to propose alternative digital tools to those coming from surveillance capitalism, so that people who do not recognize themselves in such a system can create spaces of freedom.
Upgrade PeerTube
This button displays a frame in which people who upload videos can display text, images, and links freely (link to Patreon, Tipeee, Paypal, Liberapay...).
Administer PeerTube
Contribute to PeerTube
This means that anyone can download and install PeerTube to host videos on a specific domain name (this is called "hosting a PeerTube platform/website").

How to contribute?
This should not be a problem with SSD disks, whereas traditional HDD should be accounted for: typical sustained read rates for a well tuned system with a 7200rpm hard disk should hover around 120 MB/s or 960 Mbit/s. The latter should be enough for a typical 1 Gbit/s network uplink.

Nevertheless, it is worth remembering that the vast majority of videos published on the Internet (and even on YouTube) are shared for non-market purposes: remuneration is a tool, but not necessarily a main or essential purpose.

To make a rough estimate of your disk space usage requirements, you want to know the answer to three questions:
Nevertheless, the ambition remains to be <strong>a free and decentralized alternative</strong>: the goal of an alternative is not to replace, but to propose something else, with different values, in parallel to what already exists.
