Now that the old Hexbear fork has been officially abandoned, this community will be used as a space for meta-discussion on the site itself.

I found this website that is a leftist alternative to YouTube but has a separate community instead of just reuploading YouTube videos without ads or tracking like the websites in the Tankie Reply Bot on Lemmygrad.

Believe that @[email protected] runs the server or at least has admin privileges.

Yes, I knew he ran it but I didn't know he was on Hexbear.

This looks like a Peertube instance. Peertube instances can federate with Hexbear (though viewing posts can be a bit finnicky, sometimes you have to force them to federate) and with other Peertube instances. So if someone wants to spin up a Peertube instance to connect with them, that's also a valid way to interact with their content.

Additionally, in more recent updates there is streaming support.

Just be aware that your IP will be visible to seeders and leechers of Peertube vids.

Hmmm, I could use this for my own content...

I think anyone who has an account can upload videos.

That's good, and I might be able to do more outreach there.

Yeah, thanks, I might just do that.

I'm still working towards the official unveiling but I can't keep it under wraps lol. I want to at least upload some of my stuff and troubleshoot a couple things first but I've been too distracted by Kerbal Space Program >_<
