I hate what Reddit has become and I wish for Saidit to be a platform where people can discuss interests, hobbies, and things without politics or agendas.

The server costs for video sharing are still abysmal, I think that is the main reason there aren't many great alternatives. Someone could just copy paste YT layout circa 2008-9 and it would be way more popular than the original YT, which would go into the sunset with other premium content sharing sites.

    PeerTube is federated and d3rr, cohost of SaidIt, has one named /s/DownTheMemoryHole.

    It's all I can do to buy a new hard drive every month or few to archive all the stuff I come across. I have dozens of drives full to share, but no server, so that's a problem.

      GoDaddy is one thing with a small site.

      WikiSpooks is only 5.7gb : https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Wikispooks:Site_Backup

      And apparently SaidIt is similar in size.

      100+ terabytes of video is another. It's not even raided.

      I wouldn't object to a legit authentic revolution, but all revolutions through history have been infiltrated, subverted, and become just more of the same.

      The goal would be to keep information alive and uncensored.

      If someone dropped a million dollars or more in my lap I would...

      1) Buy a huge empty warehouse and form a workers coop and set it up for artists, makers, coders, gardens, and such.

      2) Set up an opensource decentralized alternative to YouTube/BitChute, private at first, establish the decentralization stuff online AND offline, as well as the community for ratings and such. Silk Road had a ratings system for determining who was selling good drugs and who was a rip off. Like that we could determine who was sharing properly and who wasn't - not just online sharing but copying entire hard drives and snail-mailing them. IPFS could verify the files are legit. Torrents could share them online. Etc.

      3) Finish developing and produce my 6 screenplay projects.

      4) Get some land in the country and build an earthship for people to take time off and or work there. One urban and one rural. The Earthship would need to be prepared to build more Earthships, some green houses, and of course some more warehouses/shops.

      I can dream.

      Of course "they" would try to stomp it.
