Peertube Chain of Trust and Follower Index (git.btfree.org)

I love the Fediverse. I love Peertube. Our strength is we're decentralized. Our weakness is we're decentralized. How do we find like instances and things WITHOUT an algorithm?

Well I run tubefree.org. I know Makertube.net is a good instance. I follow that instance. However, I trust the admins there, why not follow who they follow? Thus we have a chain of trust.

How do I do this easily though? I came up with a script: https://git.btfree.org/BTFree/PTIndex

Want to USE the index on YOUR Peertube so you follow everyone I follow, and follow those I trust and who they follow? Go to your Peertube - Settings - General - Federation - Check "Automatically follow platforms of a public index" - Index URL: https://ptindex.btfree.org/ .

Want to be involved in the chain of trust? Message me! I'm here @ozoned@piefed.social , @ozoned:matrix.org , ozoned.01 on Signal, @ozoned@btfree.social on Fedi, ozoned@btfree.org via email.

Didn't mean the first part as something negative. Being usually the one that in my social circles that knows the nicher stuff, algorithms help me a bunch to find new things as asking around can be a quest.

And for clarity, to me the algorithms would be a type of middleman, whose job is to better distribute the nicher stuff, and thus why I interpreted your script as one (sorry if I got it wrong though).

But also, if I'm misinterpreting, feel free to ignore the weight idea if it leads the script to the wrong direction, as the idea is based on my definition of algorithm from above.
