I don't personally agree. Again, I've had 70+ connections open at one time and when I estimated the cost of bandwidth, I wouldn't even hit my monthly budget that Hetzner gives me for "free". But Owncast has S3 and CDN support built in if you really need to handle something like that.

While I game, others play music, others show movies, there are even churches that use it to broadcast their mass, public broadcasting, etc. It's fun imo. :-)

Oh yes! Integrates with the Fediverse and announces to the Fediverse. I'm all about open and interoperable platforms.

Good for beginners? I absolutely wouldn't recommend it unless someone was managing it for that beginner. It's very different than any classic distro I've used and even different than the immutable disyors I've used. But it does have a lot of nice features and for a company to learn it and roll it out tovavfleet of machines or something I could absolutely seeing it have a usecase.

I LOVE this bit:

"will stop measuring its success in new subscribers, but in growth byr egional revenue."

We're hitting our self defined goals JUST fine guys!

A lot of GOP voters don't really care about facts sadly. I've talked to some that insist Jan 6th wasn't an issue.

Owncast Stream whatever you want on your own platform and announce natively to the Fediverse!

IDK why but tons of folks think it's not feasible as they need million dollar computers. I've streamed to 70+ open streams, albeit as a test, on a like $5/month VPS. The key is that the resources needed are how many qualities you're transcoding, not how many folks are viewing. Yes bandwidth is needed for each viewer, but that's significantly less than people imagine.

Full transparency I run the !owncast@lemmy.world community, but I'm in no way affiliated with the project. I just love open platforms and open source.

No, I disagree. Threads is blocked. POTUS decided to set up an account on a blocked instance.

This is literally the self-hosted community. I'm talking about self-hosted livestreaming platform. If you want to call it a blog + video, ok sure. Everything is basically a rehash of everything else. Just trying to share some self-hosted information. And I'm not the dev of Owncast or anything, just someone trying to make others aware of self-hosting software.

I'm not understanding what you're stating. Me streaming a video game isn't blogging. If you mean that there isn't a list of folks all streaming, well there's https://directory.owncast.com to find folks. If you mean only you can stream to it, well that's not true as you can set up multiple stream keys and allow others to stream to it as well. So I'm really not understanding what you're stating.

Nope. Full self hosted livestreaming. I personally use it to stream games. I started a communit at !owncast/lemmy.world and I've listed a few different streams. Some folks game, classic movies, music, etc. It's your own self hosted Twitch or YT streaming, etc.
