@nnenov I've been content with https://spectra.video myself. No particular stand-out reason; it just suits my needs and seems to be well-run.

@johnny @nnenov do you ever worry that, one day, you'll wake up and all your videos will be gone? i.e. the instance shuts down or something? this is the only concern i have making the switch. also, how's the speed? do things up/download quickly and whatnot?

@f0rrest @johnny I was wondering about that stuff too, but I dont mind so much really, my stuff isnt that important and its backed up anyway, thanks for sharing, spectra video looks cool

@nnenov @f0rrest I don't really think about it. Because 1) my videos are all backed up locally, and 2) I don't care enough about my channels anyway: the videos I upload are just things I make when I don't feel like doing other things.

Speed-wise... I never really paid attention. Felt fast enough I guess.
