Pretty much in the title. Maybe you wouldn’t even use it, but would like to simply see it exist for the sake of having a federated alternative.
For me, it’d be the following:
- Meetup
- Tiktok
I am on the first two, but would prefer a federated alternative. I’m not on Tiktok, but would like to see a federated alternative.
I’ll admit these might not be a good idea. But as a thought experiment, I’d be curious about the community weigh in on what you all think this might look like.
youtube would be a big one.
big creators could run a bot which just uploads their videos on it.
although monetization would be a difficult one, FOSS users aren’t fond of subscriptions. (at least that’s my impression)
made even worse by the insane costs of video hosting/streaming.
I always thought of it as one of those alternative youtube-frontends. awesome if it continues to grow and gain larger creators.
Is there any way to be able to search in all peertube instances at once in the search bar like in Lemmy, rather than having to access each instance separately?
I had a group of my friends debating me saying federated YouTube would never work. They said it’d be too much server space to ever be feasible without being centralized by someone as big as Alphabet, yet here it is lol
Federation and search have always seemed a little wonky with peertube.

Gitlab. It isn’t a social network but federating instances could be really powerful if done right.
Don’t think we could get something as fully featured as GitLab to be federated but a semi-social and distributed code host would be cool. I think there are such things on Tor or I2P networks.
GitLab is working on federation last I checked.
Probably a chan type, I miss having anonimity but I don’t miss the nazism.
Damn, no myspace? That would be perfect for federation.

Tumblr ;p
None. I’d like them all to stay away in their own walled gardens. If I want to interact with them, I will, otherwise they can go away.

To have a federated alternative to Tik Tok. It’s that simple. I guess a bit deeper would be to peel users off of Tik Tok to have a more privacy respecting, decentralized alternative.
I’m fucking out of here.
