+Introduction
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+PeerTube is a free, decentralized and federated video platform developed as an alternative to other platforms that centralize our data and attention, such as YouTube, Dailymotion or Vimeo. :clapper:
+
+But one organization hosting PeerTube alone may not have enough money to pay for bandwidth and video storage of its servers,
+all servers of PeerTube are interoperable as a federated network, and non-PeerTube servers can be part of the larger Vidiverse
+(federated video network) by talking our implementation of ActivityPub.
+Video load is reduced thanks to P2P in the web browser using <a href="https://github.com/webtorrent/webtorrent">WebTorrent</a> or <a href="https://github.com/novage/p2p-media-loader">p2p-media-loader</a>.
