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.

Hit me up if you have any issues. Also please let me know if you find ant NSFW, hate, illegal, misinformation, etc content.

So!! I went from 60 instances to over 900 in the span of less than 24 hours! Also most of the content is pretty good. So thats nice.

Awesome! Let me know if there's any quality servers you think I should be pulling in. What's your server?

Also please don't hesitate to let me know if you find any unsavory things. While I can remove it from the index, you'd have to manually remove it from your server.

Piped.chrisco.me

I removed a couple. Mostly porn. I dont really need that for the family. But that was 2 servers out of hundreds.

[–] ozoned@piefed.social 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I've caught a few as well.

If you remember the names, please let me know.

Definitely not interested in that and I've already removed some from the index.
