Can you livestream on #PeerTube?
I wonder if someone could set up an instance of PT that is just for people to livestream & capture encounters w/ #ICENazis?
That way #ICE can't take the phone or delete them. #Google appeasers can't scrub them for the fascists
i was just thinking whether i should set my phone ready to livestream to #youtube or #substack for protests or if i encounter the #NachoNazis
@WorldTravelerAll7 Yes, you can livestream on peertube. Owncast is also an alternative for streaming/self-hosting/censorship resistant. You need OBS via desktop though, not sure how it would work for mobile.
Hi! I use owncast for my own personal streams and I would recommend owncast for streaming it is lighter weight than peertube! Now the only problem is that you would most likely have to have something set up for owncast to save any streams that come into a file. That is where the rub comes in.
Thankfully #OBS lists a series of other options from here.
@incentive @WorldTravelerAll7 for immediate use, I would check functionality with #loops or #pixelfed to see if those could work.
And... Unfortunately... Your next best bet is #bluesky. I know bluesky isn't safe, but considering most of their money comes from leftist twitter refugees, I dont find it likely that they would take a livestream of this activity down.
@dingusmacdongle @WorldTravelerAll7 I'm not on Bsky much anymore but I think the "live now" thing only directs a user to a third-party app/site. Still useful though but in a diff way.
i was banned from bsky anyway for celebrating the death of a racist, fascist bigot. still very happy about it😁💙 the only good nazi...😏
loops doesn't do live & is limited to 40mb vids
i'll check my options from this helpful feedback. of course i was really asking for those who are confronting ICE Nazis regularly
if i were wealthy, i would set up a PT instance for them, so they could stream every encounter. & another for liberal media to begin making the transition
@WorldTravelerAll7 @dingusmacdongle I'd stick with Dingus' advice and see how you can stream using Owncast in these situations, then rely on PeerTube for storage/VODs. PeerTube is already complicated and I imagine storing while streaming could lead to issues you dont expect related to space depending on how long youre recording for.
