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.

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.

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.
