I have been considering livestreaming gaming (mostly Retroachievements, and maybe some noncompetitive speed running), but I cannot find/decide a good service. I am not considering it as a source of income, or wanting a huge number of viewers.
Twitch and YouTube are the most popular options. But I don’t want to use them at all, just because I don’t want to give any more of my or the viewers data to Amazon and Google.
The next popular options are Kick and Rumble, but both of their home pages are filled with right-wing political content. So, I am not swaying towards them either.
I looked at Trovo, and it is looking good. It has a very small user base, however. And as per my research, most of the users there, are streamers themselves, very low amount of viewing only users. So, what do you think of Trovo? (Edit - Trovo has a Russian speaking majority.)
I couldn’t find much about D-Live. How’s that?
The last option I could find was PeerTube. I don’t expect or want a large number of viewers, but I do prefer some discoverability.
I will be converting the live stream content to small videos and will be posting on PeerTube, and maybe even Odysee.
So, what are my options? Any one of the above, or something else?
ooooo. this all you or are you collaborating with other folk?
It’s me, a cheap 8 string guitar, a soundcard / midi foodswitch I bought for 50 euros at the pawnshop and a bunch of linux plugins
so i’ll admit it’s not the genre i’m typically listening to or playing in, but it was fun. without getting technical because i’m not sure how to communicate this technically, i enjoyed the energy coming off the music. i got pumped up. i liked it.
Aw thanks for listening :) it still need a bit of work and polishing and a nice video clip
what are you usually listening to out of curiosity?
old blues (think big mama thornton and lead belly), mountain goats and “similar” indieish bands, some easier jazz, those tend to be my casual listening. i’m currently working through the collection of LPs i inherited which has a lot of Boz Scaggs and some original Beatles pressings and stuff like that, got this great classical collection of Soviet classical composers another close friend and former coworker gave to us when she heard we got a record player that she got from her mom that her mom got from a Beach Boy she was friends with I’ve been asked not to name and it’s an amazing collection.
My NEED TO LISTEN TO pile is taller than my NEED TO READ pile it’s a little embarrassing.
