YouTube alternative for the Fediverse — each instance hosts its own videos, WebTorrent P2P offloads bandwidth.
Run by French Framasoft, funded by crowdfunding. Uses WebTorrent — popular videos are distributed peer-to-peer between viewers, which lowers the instance's bandwidth cost. Federates over ActivityPub. Niches: conference talk archives, hacker content, French libre culture. Tiny compared to YouTube in scale, but one of few realistic open-source alternatives.
