According to FreeWillie.net, transition into the public domain exactly 7 days from now. That's much longer than it should have taken, but at least it starts a big snowball.

Copyright law needs to be fundamentally re-written to support creators, not corporations.

Clawing back copyright law to a shorter period would inherently benefit creators, because they could make derivative works much earlier on. So regardless of individual or corporation, limiting copyright to a period of something reasonable like 30-40 years would give creators a long enough protection to benefit, without having copyright law serve to enrich corporations.

I do create content sometimes, but generally have opted not to monetize my creations. How about you?

Ok followers, looks like we might be back in action now! Why? I have no idea. No thanks to our host, but I was able to force a hard restart of the system and everything looks to be working.

Thanks for hanging in there during the downtime. Go watch a few videos tonight to make up for it! 💙

Is PeerTube like Mastodon where I need to find an instance to call home but then I can subscribe to channels from any instance I want?

@joojmachine @Joseph_of_Earth

Point of clarification: We will federate with others, but only if they strictly align with our goal of quality edutainment. @vkc is the first example, great content edutainment content creator that started on but was then ready to start their own instance. We were happy to federate and have their content show up on our instance.

What we DON'T do is blanket federate with everyone for, as you stated, good reason. Too many bad-faith "creators" out there.

Dear @tilvids , how can I as a content creator on Tilvids.com apply for a higher quotum for videos on my channel? I'm not receiving a reply on Matrix so that's why I'm contacting you here. In public, so that the question and the answer are findable for others with the same question :P

tilvids,
@tilvids@mstdn.social avatar

Hey @erikkemp good question. Keep in mind that our moderators are all volunteers with other primary commitments, so they get to questions/requests when they can.

The route you took is the right one (Matrix) because I don't want to be the only arbiter of who can contribute content. Additionally, we can only grow as quickly as donations come in, so that's the limit on additional space.

I'll take a look at your account and see if we can give you a bit more though. Thanks for the good question.

Fantastic post by @davidpierce about the and other federated/decentralized services. 🙌

Glad to see quality content by competent journalists about the fediverse finally starting to catch on. I feel like 2024 is going to be a big year for the fediverse, and I'm hoping TILvids can help provide some new faces a good entry point to it!

The only way to beat is to LEAVE YouTube. Whether you're a viewer or a creator, if you want a privacy-respecting that isn't riddled with advertisements, you have to vote with your feet.

Anyone can make an account on TILvids (though we do manually-confirm each account to stop spam). If you want to post content, check again with our Matrix channel. It's all volunteers, and they have real-life obligations, but they do their best to help creators onto our community.
