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.

Meh. Sounds like a bunch of tankie bullshit.

Yes and no. And verifying by domain is better, especially for people who are likely to be impersonated (ex. Journalists).

Rel="me" doesn't actually verify a user's identity, it verifies that a user has a relationship with a website. The problem is that you need to leave Mastodon to make sure that the website actually verifies their identity. I've verified a connection between a Mastodon and Pixelfed account, for example, but it doesn't tell you anything about who I am. It's also much easier to spoof a website than it is to get the BBC to give you an account on their private instance.

It really works great the other way though! If you have a known identity here, you can be sure that the linked sites are legit.

They could have factories in China and not sell phones there. There are also other places to build factories. They just might have to trim back their 42% profit margin. It's still a willingness to abandon principles for a price, isn't it?

Have you contacted your admin? It should be working. I imported like 800 photos from IG on pixelfed.social a few days ago.

[-] breakfastmtn@geddit.social 3 points 1 year ago

It's mostly just media first but there are a few features that don't federate. Portfolios and stories are exclusive to pixelfed. And even if you just want to scroll a bunch of photos there just isn't a better way. They have the best Fediverse app I've ever used and the experience is great because it was designed specifically for that purpose.

Not that there's anything wrong with not seeing the appeal. The best thing about the Fediverse is that you can just be wherever you want. So you can post on Mastodon and follow whoever you want on Pixelfed too without having to make another account.

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.

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.

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.
