Nostr Web Client

Today I'm launching Flare, a video sharing site built on Nostr! 🎉

Like YouTube, Flare lets you upload, view, comment, and like videos from your favorite creators. BUT unlike YouTube, we can't strike, shadow-ban, or demonetize you just because we disagree 🤗

Since Flare is built on Nostr, you are free to serve your content from anywhere and consume content from any kind 34235 client you'd like.

Check it out at https://www.flare.pub/ 🔥

I don't quite understand why this is so good. Maybe it's technical and I just need to learn more, but isn't one major reason nostr is so censorship resistant because the notes can be posted to multiple relays? I've often been confused about how the analagous dynamic could be done for video. If this is just uploading a video to one server hosted by Flare, or anybody else, doesn't have the same long term problem as any other video hosting platform? #asknostr

Thats a good question I would like to know as well being a non-technical person.

You can host the video wherever you want, which means self hosting is also an option. It increases censorship resistance because you can make choices about hosting your video in a place that will not remove it.

There is no real performant way to crowd host video afaik. The best we can do is make alternative hosts easier to set up and seamless for people to use.
