    Yeah… the very fact this is posted as a youtube video reinforces the point of how far we are from this. The issue is, the enshitified internet is not a technology problem… it’s an education/people problem.

    The internet will not be better until people are.

      Oh it definatly is a technology problem though. There well never be a federated Youtube for instance. Think about that the storage that Google uses since videos are not really deleted, and the bandwidth to server that much video. It doens’t really scale with federation.

        Until there is. Someday someone will create a PeerTube plugin or some other piece of software that will tackle this. I’m thinking distributed storage, automatic mirroring to other instances when more bandwidth is needed for a popular video, voluntary storage donation from clients (got 10GB of expendable storage on your device? Donate it to the network), or something I can’t even think of. There are so many possibilities in this space. I won’t accept that it’ll never be possible.

        Peer to peer could solve the hosting/bandwidth issue. Just federate the network/index/front end for torrent-based streaming. Impose some ratio requirements for access and it’s infinitely scalable

      It should be viewed on youtube. The reasoning being: we are trying to get as many people to watch this as possible. Watching the video on youtube boosts it and shows it to more people at the moment its reached 75k people. Watching it on CCC.de is nothing but a few hundred nerds jerking themselves off about being decentralized.

      Most content should be watched decentralized where possible but for “messaging” posts we need them on mainstream platforms boosted by engagement as much as possible.

      Way to blame the victim!

      This is a result of anti-competitive business practices and legislative capture in the U.S. It’s not going to change until things change over there or until the rest of the world decouples from them somehow.
