Don't you know anything, Brits? Apple only strips security features for the Chinese government, you fools!

Russia crying "no fair!" after every attack makes them all just a little bit more satisfying :)

I mean, they didn't cave to Russia either. Apple just has principles until there's enough cash on the table. Then they claim to "always abide by local laws" wherever they operate.

It also solves the verification problem. It's without a doubt the best way to go for an organization - especially news orgs.

Subscribed

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

Damn. The app situation has improved so dramatically over the last month!

I sent a couple emails to them around the time Musk labelled them as state propaganda. They sent one reply back saying they'd forward it to whoever is in charge of social. No way to know whether or not is was just basically flushed down the toilet though. I don't know if there's a particular way to reach them to recommend that they set up a presence here.

I don't really see the downside for them. A private server would be relatively low cost and it could be hosted on servers they control in Canada. Beyond an official place for their work, it also means their employees and journalists wouldn't have to worry about where to sign up, plus give them instant account verification.

As much as I love the CBC, they always seem a bit too reluctant to lead.

Edit: Just wanted to add that it's important to reach out to CBC any way you can. I'm not sure about other Fediverse projects but Mastodon at least uses Rel=noreferer in the header. Traffic from Mastodon users will show up in analytics as direct traffic so they can't see how many people are originating from there.

From my understanding peertube has less restrictions of content compared with youtube.

It would depend on the PeerTube instance you join.

Maybe? I think it's also because they're constantly under attack from conservatives. Anything too progressive or new could make them stand out more as a target. "The Fediverse?! Look what the Liberal CBC is doing with taxpayer money now!" It's maybe put them in a box where they think they can only do whatever other news or media organizations are doing.

I also think they probably underestimate the amount of support they have from Canadians too.

FediDB tracks server software across the Fediverse. They track activity and overall 'market share,' which I think is what you're looking for.

They're also tracking the Threadiverse specifically.

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

It basically means that but they are formal, static groups. The group composition doesn't change based on rankings. Russia was invited into the G7 in the late 90s (and it became the G8) then formally expelled when they invaded Crimea in 2014.

There's no objective metric at all. It was really just the most important economic allies of the US in 1975.

The G20 was partially founded in response to criticism that 7 countries were making economic decisions for the world. The G7 chose who was invited to join. Indonesia and the Philippines are both kind of members (permanent invitees) through ASEAN.

This is heartbreaking news!

I do think that Firefish is gonna take off in a way that Misskey never did (even though it's huge in Japan). Hope you change your mind :)

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.
