Subscribed

Origin: late Middle English (in the sense ‘sign at the bottom of a document’): from Latin subscribere, from sub- ‘under’ + scribere ‘write’.

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?

Why do you think it's badly federated? I've never been unable to find my peertube account from anywhere I've tried - Mastodon, Firefish, Friendica, Pixelfed, or Lemmy.

And Firefish has so many more bells and whistles than that! Full-text search, antennas, quotes, drive, pages, channels, MFM.

Amazing! Just some limited use so far but the experience seems every bit as good as the PWA. Thanks!

Yeah it feels a bit softer. Pretty subtle difference but I actually prefer the native app haptics to the pwa a bit.

Thanks! It's nice to get a little recognition for putting in the work 😎

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.
