"WebTorrent is a wonderful library that allowed PeerTube to be created five years ago. But due to many limitations of the library we decided to implement and default to another P2P protocol used in coordination with HLS. This new HLS player works very well, and does not have all the limitations of the WebTorrent player. It also allowed us to implement live streaming in PeerTube."

Re:Twitter restored ElonJet account on Thursday December 15, 2022 @04:36AM (#33997205)
https://mastodon.social/@elonjet is the new home. You can follow updates on Jack Sweeney's account https://mastodon.social/@JxckS

It will be interesting to see if republishing public available data does count as aiding in the doxing. I don't think so. His doesn't profit or calls for doxing on the account.

From there Terms of Service: Where you read 'Element' or 'we' or 'us' below, it refers to Element, a trading name of New Vector Ltd., its French subsidiary: New Vector SARL, its U.S. subsidiary: Element Software Inc, and their agents. https://element.io/terms-of-service

So UK, French and US.

Re:Dear Facebook: Stop cross site tracking by default on Thursday November 21, 2019 @05:11PM (#21600273)
Dear Mozilla, don't route all our dns request to Cloudflare. We don't need more centralisation like Facebook, but decentralisation like Mastodon.
Overview of the available instances: https://fediverse.network/pixelfed https://the-federation.info/pixelfed

App with Pixelfed support for Android: https://fedilab.app/

Public profiles are public on Pixelfed: https://pixelfed.social/ubports

So a browser with a build in Flattr / Patreon / Liberapay option. Sounds like a good option.
Re:Librem One – A growing bundle of ethical services on Wednesday May 01, 2019 @07:26AM (#19796120)
Millions of active users is for Librem Social only, that is the fediverse. See more stats on https://fediverse.network/reports/2018

With Librem One you get a Mastodon account on there own Mastodon instance. That instance can speek with all other instances on the fediverse with ActivityPub protocol. So yes, with Librem Social you can easy connect with more then 2 million people.

Re:How Discord Went Mainstream on Thursday March 14, 2019 @08:29AM (#19388584)
Discord business model seems te be to sell games. Not sure if it's going to be a good fit for non-gamers in the future.

https://riot.im/ powered by Matrix also seems a good alternative. It's getting more stable every day.
