So every site needs to support federating to every other site by default.

the "default" has to be no less than "full access to content and ability to post".

Agreed. I'd even be into taking one step further, and having a way for other instances to import SaidIt data/catch up on federated history, so that a community could move to their own instance and not be starting from scratch.

If the federation is implemented well, I don't think this would be necessary; it would show up on the listings regardless of where it was from.

Thanks for cc'ing me above.

I'm getting tingly thinking this may actually come to pass. Some people like bloodsports. I prefer watching you and /u/d3rr geek out a plan to retake over the Universe with peaceful solutions.

If you want to help this particular cause, you could try to get some of your cult following to follow you on the Fediverse.

I don't have a cult... yet.

I have to develop my projects more first.

If I forget remind me after I have something substantial to share. A that point I'll have to get set up on all the social media and rewards media and https://restream.io/ or whatever.

It's a shame restream doesn't support any P2P services.

Good point! But there may be copyright issues.

Once it's a torrent you can't stop it.

On the other sites they are obligated to remove infringing content.

Sounds like a golden opportunity for a clever coder.

Sounds like a golden opportunity for a clever coder.

The main issue is bandwidth and running the servers, I think; the code would be relatively simple to interface with everything. The problems are mostly with logistics, which are hard.

If it were easy someone would have done it already.

I don't know anything about Restream.io other than I just learned it exists.

If the website ports all the content, then it is restricted.

If people download an open source client, then they are free to do what they will with it. If they break the laws then that's on them, not the coders or any domain.

Kind of like the opposite of YouTube-DL and YouTube-DLG crossed with qBittorrent.

If only someone would think of this and make it.

Oh, that's easy. But most people don't have a good enough internet connection to stream to two services, let alone ten.
