PeerTube version 1.0's first beta has released

PeerTube, an open source and decentralized alternative to YouTube and other video sharing sites, has reached a feature-rich enough state for its developers to consider it version 1.0. 1.0's first beta release includes a user interface overhaul and implementation of federated commenting. Alongside federated commentating, this release also enables users to follow PeerTube channels through their instances of Mastodon and Pleroma.

Sean Tilley wrote an article on Medium that includes this changelog:

  • Admins can now customize instances using CSS and JS, a win for content providers who want to add their own branding
  • Videos can be mirrored directly from YouTube / Vimeo / Dailymotion, or practically any site supported by the youtube-dl library.
  • File transcoding can now be turned on or off for a particular instance
  • Support for video in portrait mode
  • Support for iOS devices

PeerTube's source code is available on GitHub.

Your list and John's (https://alternativeto.net/list/2427/software-for-privacy) are the best on this site. You rock. Man, I miss JohnFastman.

BTW, man, I'd remove Brave. It packages its own ads in. Plus, it's Chromium-based.

I've seen a lot of flaming on Telegram, but honestly, I've never seen a problem in using it, tbh. Also for encrypted communication, I'd mention Tox.

And as a password manager, I'd mention Bitwarden.

Bitcoin provides a way to maintain anonymity with your spending to avoid all the tracking.

Not really. Not unless you bought your bitcoin anonymously to begin with. Every bitcoin transaction is recorded in the blockchain. If you buy bitcoin to begin with using, e.g. a credit card, then all your future transactions can be traced back to you. Bitcoin is not inherently anonymous. In that respect Monero is more anonymous.

Really appreciate your clarification here, though my apologies for the late reply! In this case, I've gone ahead and removed Bitcoin since anonymity takes serious work to achieve with it. While it's possible, it's not there by default as you've noted. I'll check up on the other options like Monero. Thanks again.
