PeerTube is exactly this, it's federated and uses WebTorrent. https://joinpeertube.org/
Well that's cool as hell - thanks for the info.
This reads like an AI generated conversation trying to sell PeerTube.
How couldn't you guys know about PeerTube?? 😅
I didn't know about it either til like yesterday! :P
The experience of using something so much you forget other people might never even have heard of it is very relatable however.
Does the seeding work in a personally easily controllable way, e.g. you only see the videos you watch and allow it to seed? I'm not super familiar with torrenting beyond the very basics, let alone however this might differ.
I'm thinking here mainly of making sure people aren't just generally seeding everything in a way that would potentially make people unknowingly/unintentionally seed / party to any distribution of child abuse materials, snuff, revenge porn, or so on.
As far as I know, you seed videos you watch.
I recently stumbled over Odysee and am not exactly sure where to put them category wise. they are a federated service as well, aren't they?
No, Odysee/LBRY operates on blockchain/crypto. It aims to be decentralised, and in that sense it's bit like federation, but it's completely different.
