Damn. The app situation has improved so dramatically over the last month!
Congrats on your promotion to a 1! You earned it (by posting).
From my understanding peertube has less restrictions of content compared with youtube.
It would depend on the PeerTube instance you join.
Meh. Sounds like a bunch of tankie bullshit.
Yes and no. And verifying by domain is better, especially for people who are likely to be impersonated (ex. Journalists).
Rel=“me” doesn’t actually verify a user’s identity, it verifies that a user has a relationship with a website. The problem is that you need to leave Mastodon to make sure that the website actually verifies their identity. I’ve verified a connection between a Mastodon and Pixelfed account, for example, but it doesn’t tell you anything about who I am. It’s also much easier to spoof a website than it is to get the BBC to give you an account on their private instance.
It really works great the other way though! If you have a known identity here, you can be sure that the linked sites are legit.
It also solves the verification problem. It’s without a doubt the best way to go for an organization - especially news orgs.
That modern UI addon looks pretty cool but doesn’t work for me despite running 0.18.2.
Do you have to get your instance manually added for support?
