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

Origin: late Middle English (in the sense ‘sign at the bottom of a document’): from Latin subscribere, from sub- ‘under’ + scribere ‘write’.

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.

It also solves the verification problem. It's without a doubt the best way to go for an organization - especially news orgs.

I mean, they didn't cave to Russia either. Apple just has principles until there's enough cash on the table. Then they claim to "always abide by local laws" wherever they operate.

Don't you know anything, Brits? Apple only strips security features for the Chinese government, you fools!

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.
