Most Recent CommentIt actually has livestreaming.
MarcI tried love streaming on PeerTube and according to my friends who tried to watch, the quality was horrible. We tested out three instances with no luck. I'm gonna wait some more and give them the time to fix it
It't not live streaming like Twitch is.

Comments about Kick as an Alternative to Twitch
davaga6837A streaming service is more than just a platform that reliably sends video from streamers to viewers. It tries to moderate content for enjoyment of audiences and keep them safe from dangerous contents. Kick was started to promote online gambling with video game streamers and that's where it's at. Do not go there for the few good channels such as Hikaru's chess it does have.
