Admittedly a risky crosspost, but cannot find conflicting community rules. I believe the possible discussion justifies it.

Or ‘What is PeerTube lacking that you simply cannot do without?’
I believe it’s a safe assumption that fediverse users want to move away from the monopolies and closed gardens so often associated with video streaming, and yet it’s not a task that’s ever been made easy. Maybe an ounce of inspiration is the cue we need, and so my question to you is; What’s Stopping you from using PeerTube?
I’d like it to be built entirely around a P2P network of easily self-hostable instances as a distributed storage/indexing backend, and a local desktop app as a suggested entry point, but that’s not the case, unfortunately.
With its current architecture, I simply haven’t managed to go trough the trial of finding a suitable instance! So if I’m watching PeerTube videos, it’s only occasionally, when a link was posted elsewhere, as I’m lacking a proper entry point to continuously interact with it, let alone uploading.
