PeerTube is not really intended as a platform, even less so than most fediverse projects. As it stands, the best way to think about PeerTube is sans discovery mechanisms because I don't think any are planned. With this in mind, peertube is best thought of as the video extension of the fediverse and the discovery niche is filled through word-of-mouth here and over on the microblogging side.

There are multiple monetization plugins and absolutely no built-in anti-monetization features. I don't think it's unreasonable for them to keep the base software monetization agnostic. They talked about this at length during the AMA a couple of weeks ago. I believe this one is the most popular: https://github.com/samlich/peertube-plugin-web-monetization

No reason a Nebula-type model couldn't see success on peertube

They're a little pricey (particularly the first party accessories) but the remarkable tablets run Linux out of the box.

I was never really into Flipboard but after watching their launch ad from 2010 I'm realizing that their business has always been about trying to jam fediverse functionality into web2. No surprise they're so all in

A lot of people posting nice things about the lemmy project should consider posting it on the original announcement. I think the devs would appreciate hearing back from y'all

I love this idea but how do you decide to which community a new comment gets posted?

[–] spaduf@slrpnk.net 16 points 11 months ago

Very cool idea. There are a lot of decent apps on fdroid where the only way to find out if the app is a good fit is to install it yourself. This would go a long way towards improving that experience.

IANAL, but I'm not sure that's legal everywhere facebook operates.

Worth noting that Meta through threads currently plans to collect and monetize the data of all users that it federates with.

One of the big problems with crossposting as it currently exists is that only link posts will actually take advantage of the crossposting mechanics. That is, they will show crossposts under the main title and be combined in your feed. There is no way to do this with text posts, however.

I was fairly skeptical initially, but as I've seen it interoperate with Lemmy/Mastodon my whole perspective has changed. The issue of cost is maybe still a big one (I think it depends on how the instance landscape shakes out) but I am no longer worried about the issue of discovery.
