@rysiek @DarvenDissek peertube lets you get around a lot of restrictions.

GDPR/legally mandated ageism? not an issue with peertube - just go with tor and a non-EU instance.

this? not an issue with peertube - same thing. might not be able to federate with EU instances.

it's almost p2p, but not quite. and you might not even need tor for brand-new instances (as the government/ISPs/whatever wouldn't have noticed them yet).

(IANAL but I hope I'm getting this right)

> might not be able to federate with EU instances.

How is this a solution?

@rysiek @DarvenDissek then again see also switter/FOSTA.

@SoniEx2 @DarvenDissek this is not a solution, this is a work-around.

So now you're going to have to not federate with instances in the US because of FOSTA/SESTA, not federate with instances in the EU because Article 13.

Does that seem to you like a winning strategy? To me it seems like losing ground, bit by bit.

Therefore, I sent e-mails to MEPs.

Hope you're doing the same.

@rysiek @DarvenDissek I'm not from the EU so there's literally nothing I can do.

I can just advocate for workarounds if it does happen.

And ppl will rely on workarounds.

@SoniEx2 @DarvenDissek that is true, and it's good to have workarounds, of course! :)

But it's also important to fight the root of the problem whenever/wherever possible. So that we don't *need* workarounds.

@rysiek @DarvenDissek I'm thankful for peertube and other federated things because back when I was 10 we didn't have these things.

@SoniEx2 @DarvenDissek sure thing. We need more of this.

Decentralized systems are harder to design, but can be much more resilient when deployed.
