No, sad day. :(

It was one of the better video hosts.

@[email protected] Yep! And their content policies are not crazy and their moderators are not trigger happy like YouTube's. ๐Ÿ˜…

Sad day indeed.

I maybe saw an occasional video with them but never even open an account with them. I wonder why they're shutting down now..

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

@[email protected] Probably funds, at least it's the usual reason.

Then again, they survived that long side-by-side with a behemoth that is YouTube, it is indeed curious why they're shutting down now.

Maybe someone could write a script to export channels and videos to the PeerTube server of the channel owner's choice?

The same thing for be done for YouTube, Slimeo, BitChute, and other centralised video hosting sites. Creating a multi-host video channel export app. Enforcement of EU DMA on said hosts could make this easier.
