As a concept it’s something I find really cool but as of now I think something like PeerTube is better if you have to self host and easier to be moderated by a community
Well you are hosting videos that are on lbry but its done automaticly, its not something that you have to do manyaly. You just enter the desktop aplikacion and watch videos. And rest is done on itsown. Videos that you watched you are now hosting for others to watch and thats it. You just set how much memory you want to allow app to use, so it doesnt fill up your drive and thats it.
And if you are content creator you host your videos just at first so couple of people can see them, and after that people are watching and hosting your videos vithout you doing anything.
not heard of it before, do you want to explain what it is or does everyone who is like me have to separately do a web search for it?
You are right, my apologies. Thats a platform for watching videos just like youtube. But it works in a completly diferent way, similar to torrent. Because its goal is to bring content freedom. The problem with youtube is that they directly decide what people can record and what is forbiden. If you make content that youtube doesnt like, first he will hide it so wery small amount of people can see it, second they will demonetise you, and third they will delete your video and your whole channel at the end. Just because you wanted to spread the truth. Thats why lbry is created, they call it content freedom. :)
So what does it have to do with Linux?
Didn’t that stop working yeas ago when Oddyssee or whatever dropped their crypto thing?
