Even if not, you could probably get donations to put quite a few of these up there. Seems a really good idea.

Wrong type of free I think.

Fair, I actually did assume that it costs money to put some videos up on twitch.

In other ways, though, I'm not actually clear that they lock you in much. Such that I'm not sure how it is any less free than most any other alternative.

Consider, it is basically the idea to use the town hall to host a local event.

except that its _not_ a public facility, and I dont see why we have to admit that kind of ambiguity just so that someone else can make a buck off of our work.

serving video is essentially free as in beer, and I'm pretty sure the FSF can afford to stand up a server.

i dont know why people are so eager to involve these services in their lives - i assure you, you can hold your own dick when you pee - its not that bad.

> except that its _not_ a public facility

While town halls are public facilities, most rental halls are decidedly not. I think that was the point of the comment: If they were holding this event in person, would they refuse to do it in most facilities?

Comments like this are flamebait and, as an observer, quite unwarranted in this thread.

Yeah. That is exactly what I had in mind.

Ignoring where crowds are is a touch silly.
