@nicol@social.coop if you need ANY help in setting up Peertube, any questions, if you want to federate with me, just let me know!

Honestly MORE Peertube servers is only a good thing as far as I'm concerned.

And, yes, sadly, open signups are just trouble. Having even a few barriers to entry, while it does put off some, has helped me keep the server fairly easy to manage. Folks have to ask to get an account. Then I make them ask again for some storage. Then I monitor the videos they put up until I know we're all on equal footing and then let them upload whatever.

It's a lot of work, but there's only been 1 instance of someone attempting to post copyrighted content and I turned them away and they haven't come back.

I'm hoping to offer like 50GB free, and then $1/month or $5/month above that. That little bit of money, those hurdles, show that if someone wants to do that, they're wanting to be a member of a community and not just use us as a dumping ground for content.
