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

@pkrasicki This looks great and I’d love to check it out. Would it be possible to add support for my instance?

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.

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.

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.

omg yessssss

Oh wow, thanks for resolving this with Stux. The app does seem more responsive after the update. I love the new icon too – especially now that it’s not sitting on my homescreen taunting me ;)

It broke for me. What version of Lemmy supports CORS?

Same. I’m also using Brave just for Voyager and Firefish. I really wish Firefox had better support for PWAs.

Have any trademark lawyers weighed in on this? I’ve only seen speculation.

It seems more complicated to me because it’s actually the name of several fish and not just the name of a company. It’s not like they’re called Ford Motor Company Social, right? I’m also not sure that the other software out there is similar enough. They have to argue that customers would be confused but is social networking all that similar to a CRM?

Nah you were appropriately smart mouthed. The problem was my clumsy post intro.
