## What is PeerTube?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From JoinPeerTube[^1]
|
|
|
|
|
> PeerTube aspires to be a **decentralized and free/libre alternative** to
|
|
|
|
|
> video broadcasting services.
|
|
|
|
|
>
|
|
|
|
|
> Our aim is not to replace them, but rather to simultaneously offer something
|
|
|
|
|
> else, with different values.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> PeerTube uses [**ActivityPub**](https://activitypub.rocks/), a federating
|
|
|
|
|
> protocol that **allows you to interact with other software**, provided they
|
|
|
|
|
> also use this protocol. For example, PeerTube and Mastodon -a Twitter
|
|
|
|
|
> alternative- are connected: **you can follow a PeerTube user from Mastodon**
|
|
|
|
|
> (the latest videos from the PeerTube account you follow will appear in your
|
|
|
|
|
> feed), **and even comment on a PeerTube-hosted video directly from your
|
|
|
|
|
> Mastodon's account**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> With PeerTube, choose **your hosting company and the rules you believe in**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> Direct contact with a human-scale hoster allows for two things: you no longer
|
|
|
|
|
> are the client of a huge tech company, and **you can nurture a special
|
|
|
|
|
> relationship with your hoster, who distributes your data**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> The PeerTube software can, whenever necessary, use a peer-to-peer protocol
|
|
|
|
|
> (P2P) to broadcast viral videos, **lowering the load of their hosts**.
