@boilingsteam@mastodon.cloud yes, but that's with everything. Can you expand?

So, I've been seeing news about all of the age verification laws, and I see a LOT of scared people.
Here's the way I see it, and I'd like to honestly get people's opinion, I think they're dumb, HOWEVER, I think the laws give ud a HUGE opportunity. YOU can run your own platform and you can verify your own age. Same with your family, same with your community. This gives us power.
Are people just going to hand over their IDs to Facebook? Probably, but it won't be me. And there will be massive fraud and issues and this will force legal degradation of centralized platforms.
Thoughts?

On the #Fediforum #GrowingTheOpenSocialWeb #unconference right now. And the diversity, the experiences in just the first 30 minutes is incredible. We have so many folks from all types of different backgrounds learning and SHARING with everyone else.
This is absolutely incredible being on this ride with you. Thank you all so much.
@_elena@mastodon.social @logan@social.logal.dev @dnpdame@mastodon.social It was nice. We all just hung out and had a drink, talked, then walked to an Italian restaurant and had dinner. Just 4 of us. But lots of fun getting out to talk with folks. 😊

@ozoned @nicol Yes, P2P, but the platform's settings calls it "sharing system": https://open.movie/w/rdot9DoygXTXzLM4ZnJjTf?modal=quick-settings
@candide@vis.social @nicol@social.coop No. That's not what I'm thinking of. I'm thinking of Video Redundancies. Do you have that enabled and another Peertube is serving the content instead of fetching from yours?
@JenJen@mastodon.art is running a Kickstarter for some AWESOME, nsfw, glitter stickers if folks want to support a creator on the Fediverse.
@candide@vis.social @nicol@social.coop "turned off the sharing system" do you mean the P2P? I had that on mine by default, and while I love the idea, as well as others being able to replicate videos through Peertube, we found that it causes too many issues. You can't count on the quality of connection of anyone else and then folks pulling from flakey connections only see issues and think it's the video.
Also I was wrong about the follow. I hadn't followed open.movie on my tubefree.org. I do now though! 😄

@nicol@social.coop @candide@vis.social i can watch the videos without issue.
I'd always suggest federating your Peertube, for instance my TubeFree.org asked to follow yours, but I don't think it it would solve this issue.
I'm guessing a client side issue or ISP block. Maybe try a VPN or switching to cellular or WiFi.

Feel free to volunteer as well. You don't have to have a project, we can just talk about anything and get to know each other!
We all have something to contribute, and I need help with folks to speak with. 😊
