The PeerTube instance that I have been uploading to is no more. I think there are around 70 edits of mine that are no longer accessible. If there was a catbox link, they may still work. This represents hundreds of hours of work that I did that have simply vanished. If a link is broken, let me know and I can see if I still have the files for it. Thank you all for watching the things I’ve made/

    It doesn’t matter why. What matters is if you build an alternative to a server-based alternative you need to match their functionality and UX.

    For the record, proper storage at scale costs a whole lot more than 50 euros. I think self-hosting is set to become way more popular in the future, but it gets harder if data keeps evaporating.
