   When you operate your own live stream your sponsor's logo can be as big as you want and you can advertise anything you like. Your server, your content, your rules.

     @jasonnab @rhsjjack That's correct, each stream is a self-contained server that is independently operated. As for moderation, if you're talking about on the Fediverse, you wouldn't follow a stream that you don't approve of and you could of course block them on your microblogging service of choice, just like any other Fediverse identity. If you're talking about Owncast chat moderation there's functionality to support that.

     @rhsjjack Owncast is fundamentally different from standard streaming platforms. If I understand properly, each Owncast stream is its own server; therefore, moderation and regulation are up to the server owner and operator, if it's a shared system.

     I believe Owncast can federate, therefore I imagine that those promoting harmful content could be ignored/defederated/blocked. That's the only "policing" that I can see happening, or using a "fediblock" system

     @owncast please correct me if I'm wrong

     @owncast Yet, moderation and regulation has their place. Is there an owncast collective of streamers that "police" content? A singular site that aggregates owncast streams and requires they follow certain rules or have moderators? Otherwise owncast is just Kick or Rumble for racists and weed streams.
