Earlier today a comrade got a pretty good tankie instance for Mastodon on this post of theirs. So I was thinking, due such things exist for other federated platforms such as Pixelfed and Peertube? And if so, which are the best for our purposes?

    Whoa, I’d totally be up for hosting a bookwyrm instance. I’ll forward this to the mod team.

    2nded on peertube. It’s wonderful software, but it’s a massive hard drive expense for anyone who runs one, and not as good as just using torrents for the same purpose.

      (I’ve lost track: do you still have a personal downvoter? Or does someone dislike books or torrents?)

      We need to start an initiative of publicly archiving and torrenting socialist content from places like YouTube where it is absolutely not safe.

        Agreed. At the very least socialist channels should be creating torrents of their content and posting them either here, or on their own sites or fediverse accounts.

        I’d be interested in using IPFS for this as well, because you can use an IPFS gateway to provide a regular hyperlink for people who don’t have a torrent client, and because IPFS is immutable.
