Very cool. Might give Pixelfed a try at some point.

Well this is Interesting.
Video storage and bandwidth is probably my most pressing concern, but that's the same as with peertube, no?
Speaking of which, are they going to consult with PeerTube for cross compatibility?
Evidently, [loops and goldfish] are intended to be compatible with one another, as well as other video platforms in the Fediverse, such as PeerTube or Vidzy.
From the article. So yes, they should be cross compatible at some point.

The more the merrier
Video does love centralisation, always good to see some pushback.
This might not necessarily be the case for much longer with storage costs finally reaching certain thresholds.
2TB SSDs only cost ~$100 and you can cram a lot of SSDs into a tiny space with only a minimal amount of cooling (still need a fan but just a fan).
The next bottleneck to overcome is upload bandwidth. Too many providers offer asynchronous service with weirdly low/slow upload limitations. However, that too might be changing over the next few years as DOCSIS 4.0 supports 10Gbit down/6Gbit up (DOCSIS 3.1 only supported ~1Gbit up). An important note about DOCSIS 4.0 is that in order to take advantage of it's improved features (on the ISP end) you need to provide more upload bandwidth to the client (well, you can still cap it at the router but at that point the ISP is just being an asshole instead of actually "managing bandwidth").
