PTIndex
git.btfree.org
Repository for managing the PT Index for our self hosted moderated Peertube Index that can be used by others. This also includes the script to manage the PT Index easily.

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.

    Pretty nice, but since my instance follows everything from instances.joinpeertube.org automatically, I can’t recommend that anyone “trust” my instance.

    PeerTube’s biggest weakness is not decentralization, but fragmentation imho.

      What’s your instance?

      I used to follow the main one, but learn quickly that if I wanted a public instance, that’d get me into a lot of trouble. There’s a LOT of awful out there.

        PeerTube.wtf. I haven’t come across things that were awful. Only some porn. I have blocked 11 instances in the last year.
