@arisingvoice@weirder.earth Thank you, this is really good feedback! We will take it to heart.

Here is a simple proposal of our plan options, feel free to provide feedback. We are thinking of setting default caps for accounts at 50GB, which feels fairly generous. Again, we are open to feedback.

@fiend_unpleasant@mastodon.social It's an interesting thought, but would require software development as part of PeerTube itself, or as a plugin. There's probably some edge-cases that would also need to be considered, such as "I only want to delete videos older than this amount of time, EXCEPT for ones that I've flagged to keep indefinitely."

Spectra currently stores 7.5 TB of videos. As our costs continue to rise, we need to make a serious decision about the long-term viability of our platform and operations. One thing we are thinking seriously about is defaulting to a set per-account upload limit, with the ability to pay for additional storage as needed. It's not a great situation, but we've found that a very tiny portion of our userbase tends to use up the most space. We need to figure out something soon, as our costs and operational requirements are skyrocketing. We are currently paying hundreds and hundreds of dollars every month just to keep our #PeerTube instance going.

The #PeerTube instance at Spectra.video has been updated to version 8.1.1! 🎉
