> And the decentralized video sharing network whose name I can’t remember.

Most decentralized video sharing services I've seen are built on blockchain which this site explicitly denounces in regards to social media. The only federated video sharing alternative I'm aware of is PeerTube: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube

This is splendid.

Here's a list of instances that you can try: https://instances.peertu.be/instances

I wonder if

- two peers who streams in different resolution (say 360 and 1080p) can share data through P2P to lighten the load for the main instance.

- if it will be possible to associate a magnet link (for instance, taken from TPB) with a hosted video to allow for peers to leech from the network.

Yeah, I think that's it.
