Twitch is owned by Amazon. Kick is owned by Stake.com. Pick your poison.

Interresting, this domain is blocked in France for infrigment on gambling legislation...

Yea, it's a crypto gambling site so that would make sense.

your right, but what in the world are we suppose to use then to watch/stream content?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Peertube. ;)

what actly is peertube? if i might ask...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

The federated video platform. If Lemmy is Reddit, Peertube is YouTube.

Anyone know of instances allowing signups for uploading videos that enforce some content rules? I've been trying to find a place on peertube to host some of my favorite videos from reddit

I dont want to link people to a server hosting mostly nsfw or gore or something though. Since peertube is still underground its got some fringe groups

Self hosting is the way to go if you can do it. Most PeerTube instances are trash. Good ones are often specialized.

In addition to aforementioned PeerTube, there is Owncast. These two are neat if you want to do it for fun with a few people and are technically inclined. Otherwise for streaming YouTube is probably the better way to go. Kick is unproven at the moment and Twitch is... Twitch.
