@freemo Any chance you can verify my posting rights to QOTO PeerTube please?

Thanks

@veritanuda I can yes.. but before I do I'd like to verify your usage of the system, which is why we have that...

What type of content do you intend to post?

Do you have an account on QOTO's mastodon and is it active?

Neither of these are strict rules, but some notes about why I ask.

1) Account names on QOTO's mastodon is privileged. That means that if someone takes a peertube account that is the same name as a QOTO account you own you can ask to have the peertube account closed and given to you instead. We do this to ensure people can have the same username across all services is they wish. As such while it is not required that you have a main QOTO account it is a good idea that you create one here anyway (even if you wont use it) just to make sure you secure your peertube username. Otherwise someone could register a QOTO account by the same name and use that to take your peertube account (though if it is obvious that is the reason they did it we may reject the request if the account isnt particularly active or is new).

2) While your Mastodon QOTO account does not need to be active to qualify for peertube it does give your accounts posting privileges some leniency. Users on QOTO with peertube accounts are allowed to post any content within reason, no public nudity and a few other rules. There is no subject or topic restriction. However users who are not active on Mastodon QOTO tend to be a bit more restricted in the sense that we do require they contribute STEM related content or generally high caliber content in line with our server purpose. So while QOTO users dont get much content restrictions others will have their content monitored and shouldnt use our peertube for general content

If this sounds good just let me know your user name and I can activate it for you on the above conditions.

@freemo Well basically I am not a vlogger or video producer per se but occasionally I would like to upload videos I have either made or what to share to a platform where there is a good chance the link will not disappear in 24 hours etc. It is a concern I have that we are sleep walking into digital extinction because so much of human output is now created solely digitally and we have yet to find a technology that can hope to archive digital media un-corrupted for 20 years let alone 50 or 100.

@veritanuda interesting to concern, and one I share to some extent with the limited long term viability of digital media and all. Though im not sure how peertube solves that or if it really answer the question as to the nature of the content. It sounds like its just random stuff you want to post to preserve it somewhere and not necceseraly things that are of interest to others (though maybe some will be).. Without an active account on QOTO I would say based on that description our server probably isnt the best place for you without an active account on qoto.org itself.
