It’s sounds crazy but it works!
One day maybe we’ll have a Nostr-first video compression tool, but for now this is as easy a solution as I’ve found. I don’t even post on Twitter anymore but I have a burner account I keep just for free video compression, and just delete everything immediately.
It would be nice if the apps did compression client side. We do compress on NostrMedia.com but only post-upload so that deliverability in streaming is much faster around the world. Still considering it pre-upload, but that will just slow down the time for the upload to complete and I don’t want that atm
I don’t see how they really can. That’s the difference between being a decentralized, lightweight client app plugging into a network vs. a centralized behemoth with a massive server array and all the storage and bandwidth in the world to serve content. This is why I don’t see any drawbacks to using it as a free video compression tool.
wood for the trees. no one has time to run compression tools.
