npub1aumavdxk70yfurch4xs4a6evyqv2yuxmjnwska76wye0d92vfnjsde7l87 (npub1aum…7l87) npub14vrx7tvj2mcmcvl50n3nstsexkw45j59xm56fk54j0nfuhhz5esqqd0e7d (npub14vr…0e7d) There's a couple of reasons for that:
1) when kolektiva first start, the goal was to have an alternative platform for anarchist media collectives that were slowly but surely getting banned and shadow banned from the corporate social media platforms, not necessarily an open platform;
2) when the mastodon instance was launched, people didn't see the need to open kolektiva.media (peertube) registration since you're able to subscribe to an account or channels from mastodon and see the new videos in your timeline;
3) we're pretty tight in terms of storage on the server right now, so even if you don't plan to upload anything, if we open registration and people start to post videos a lot, we're gonna end up with serious issues that won't be easy to manage.
I'd probably be cool to have a more open peertube instance, but we would've to do some radical change on our instance to make it possible. It's not impossible, but it'd need some planning, time, and money.
