One thing I see as underestimated is that having a major standard device is huge for indie development and could greatly benefit the most flourishing artistic landscape.

One of the problems today is that the indie and AAA markets are increasingly distant, publishing a game on the PS5 or XSX digital store is prohibitive for a small indie team, but if Steam Machine is successful, we can expect more easy access to indie games by (ex)console gamers, and later a reduction in publishing costs on consoles.

I believe Steam Deck has already started this process, but with a device that will compete with the 9th generation of home consoles the indie game diffusion could accelerate.

I read many comments on how PeerTube isn't sustainable as a YouTube alternative and, while it's certainly true right now, are we sure it will be the same in the near future?

The platform is growing and the new mobile app is making great progress; I can certainly see some people investing in a major instance some day, accelerating the platform adoption.

It appears to be an unauthorized provider.

Addy aliases are temporary email addresses (aliases) that forward messages to their primary email account. This can help protect a user's real email address from spam, unwanted marketing, or potential data breaches.

I'd like something to show, sort and tag my games as I want, not bloated by unneeded services. It exist? Essentially I just need a cool way to navigate my retroarch launching commands. At the moment I'm using Cartridges, not very customizable, and service oriented but the UI is decent (it also supports animated covers, cool).

Obviously excluding videos whose authors explicitly do not want to, or copyrighted content that could create problems for individual instances.

By doing this PeerTube could become a kind of youtube database of quality content, excluding shorts and toxic/futile videos. What do you think of this approach? Could it make PT more attractive, or would it create problems for the platform?

I'm sure many creators would do it themselves but don't have time, or many would do it but don't even know about the existence of the Fediverse. Perhaps you could start by making “fan channels,” with all the most important and significant videos on a youtube channel (so without having to stay up-to-date on recent releases).

I have this error:

"Due to an unknown issue, the server occasionally crashes and you will see a "gateway error". I have to restart the server manually when that happens. Trying to figure out a solution and have bought new hardware for replacement."

Let us know if we can help in some way!
