Gilmesh.tv Is Shutting Down (build.glimesh.tv)

I've been looking for an open source alternative to Twitch and finally found one...only for it to be shut down in a couple days. I'll probably end up going to Twitch or something but damn, I thought I struck gold with this, only to be 3 years too late. I wish they would've gotten a much bigger platform and more supporters.

Edit: I think I will end up going with Kick.com in spite of the gambling stuff. I really hope people will donate to Gilmesh.tv so they're more incentived to get things up and running again.

To dicover streams from owncast Owncast Directory

I wonder how much capability for a community-server there is though.
like a few content creators coming together to pay for it, because right now it seems like it's exclusively self hosted from the streamer

@randomguy2323 @pineapplelover interesting project. Could I set my son up with his own “Twitch” like channel with this?

Yes you can , I haven't tried myself but it seems that it works. Also if you like it don't forget to donate to support the project!

Oh come on, I wish I found this platform so much sooner too...

Video hosting/bandwidth is just too expensive to run long term. All big platforms are either barely making any profit after years operating or are still running into a negative. But since they have multi-billion corporations behind them they can affort it and get others benefits from having a big userbase to exploit.
