What if #NASA put their new video streaming service on the #fediverse?
@forteller I don't see how video streaming really fits with the fediverse service.
Fediverse is built around static content, with inboxes and outboxes moving posts around.
It doesn't seem like the right tool for the job.

@forteller to be clear about what I'm saying, programs like peertube don't actually stream video over Fediverse. Instead, they make Fediverse posts that link to external services.
No different from linking a YouTube video in a post.
(As far as I am aware. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.)
This is no minor difference because it has huge implications for the scalability of the platform and the amount of resources that it takes to run an instance.
