FediTips has moved!

Another thing to make clear:

You can like or comment on a PeerTube video within Mastodon by interacting with that video's post. Comments and likes on a video post in Mastodon appear automatically below the video itself on PeerTube.

However... other people's posts with the same video embedded might look similar when viewed through Mastodon, but they are actually a totally separate thing. Comments on embedded videos will not appear below the video on PeerTube.

You can see the difference in the attached screenshots: PeerTube video posts will have the video creator's address at the top, whereas Mastodon posts with a video embedded in them will have someone else's address.

You can make a PeerTube video post appear on Mastodon etc by pasting the video's URL in the search box and then clicking on it in the results.

You can embed someone's video within your own Mastodon post by just including its URL in your text.

Last year, I ran a Kickstarter campaign to produce an indie audiobook (outside of Audible’s DRM walled garden), read by Amber Benson. It was the most successful audiobook crowdfunding campaign in world history!

@em @zleap @thor I think finding official hotline is far easier than locating their account on Fedi (or anywhere, Facebook or Twitter not being exceptions).

I mean average person will hardly follow these accounts just in case and all posts are shortlived and hard to be found afterwards.

I don't mind official entities to be represented on here but it would be mostly for social aspect, not emergency response.

Also good starting point for resolving any kind of incident for average person is their instance admin or mod team. Admins are not interested in problems with their servers so they are generally helpful and are easily contacted.

@shuro @em @thor

Agreed, just having an account on here may help people.

so

barnardos.org.uk/

is one such charity, if they had say an account @banados@social for example they could post updates, in fact if they enable activity pub or have a blog their account could simply relay the information and we can use rss for that.

It would give them a way to share content as they could even set up a peer tube account and share their videos that way,

Most contact is share via facebook, youtube and very little via decentralised platforms.

Problem is you go to their facebook page and while say banados respect confidentiality, just going to their facebook page probably generates data, metrics etc used for advertising etc,

Maybe this could help make admins jobs easier if they can help people with worries, problems find help.

Lets make less work not more work for admins.

This #TruthSocial software #theft story is huge!

Its international scale.

A ex-president attempts to start a #socialPlatform supposedly to support truth by #lying about the origins of the software. Labelling the #Mastodon icon a mere bug, and labelling the platform proprietary, and not upholding the #AGPL license.

Is everyone looking forward to seeing this story in the international news, where it should be?

It deserves a proper hashtag – #mastoGate?

Agencies could be the wrong word, how about just some of the charities who offer help and advice, post their info for example,

@shuro @em @thor

It depends on how they are here, An account posting contact info should be enough those who need help can get in touch with them

Granted I can post a link to tem here easily but if that links comes from them it is more official.

They just need to understand how the federated networks work.

I know the DM has some pretty dire reporters, and print some really tripe (rubbish) sometimes but this takes it up a level.
