A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sites like this are a non-starter for me until and unless they make seeding whitelist only, so I have control over what I seed like I would with regular torrents. Because otherwise random users can and will end up unknowingly participating in the hosting of child abuse materials, nazi propaganda, and so on. I think this alone makes it nonviable as a youtube alternative at scale.

I'll take youtube's privacy violations over that any day.

You seem to misunderstand how PT works.
