https://vid.northbound.online/a/ainali/video-channels@ainali I followed you here and on my Peertube. Sadly there's a Peertube bug that prevents GoToSocial followign at the moment, hopefully it's fixed soon. However, I was looking at your page and you do a lot of things with Wikipedia, is that right? Do you do edits of Wikipedia as well? I was thinking that people should have their Fediverse handles shown on Wikipedia as a way to interest others. Do you think something like that is good or possible?

@ozoned any Wikipedia user is free to show their PeerTube or Mastodon handle on their user page. As the user pages are totally manual and optional, there is no way to automate or force it.

@ozoned what is nice though is that Wikipedia offers verification of the account, see my profile page here for the link to my Wikipedia user page.

@ainali Ah got you! So they have to add that themselves. Boo.
Well it was an idea. 
Thank you Jan. -

Well it was an idea. Thank you Jan.@ozoned well, I think most Wikipedians with Fediverse presence are quite happy to add it. Also since accounts on Wikipedia are pseudonyms it would be rare to be able to match a Fediverse account with the Wikipedia one with automation and accuracy.

@ainali any thoughts on how we could champion that and get folks interested in doing that kind of thing? Adding their Fedi accounts I mean?

@ozoned I don't have any great ideas. It may be worth noting that there already is a community Mastodon instance too, at https://wikis.world

@ainali No worries at all! Thank you so much for all the work you and and for talking with me.
I'm just attempting to find anyway to get another foot hold for the fediverse out in the world. Just found out SearxNG has Fedi bangs and even puts Fedi info in the right panel when looking for specific folks. -

Currently, a SPARQL query (press the blue play button) gives 8,507 accounts there.

I was just thinking, how do #Youtuber #upload their #videos to #YouTube right now? Are their any open source #YT #uploaders? If so, how do we get #Peertube support in them to allow people to do an upload once and it go to multiple places? That way we lower the bar to entry of Peertube, while having a direct onboarding and exposure to the #Fediverse.
#foss #fedi #automation #script@ozoned Odysee, before it became terrible had a server-side thing that would automatically reupload video from youtube to Odysee, for those people who agreed to that sort of thing. I think there is a feature like this in PeerTube. But YouTube lately doesn't want that sort of thing to happen. They are scared for their platform, because a lot of people are trying to go away from it.

@blenderdumbass Yup exactly this. TILVids instance was blocked for folks trying to reupload to Peertube. That's why I was thinking of getting to them with an application that can upload to numerous places. I do not have the time and absolutely NOT the skill to do that.

@ozoned Technically there is API for google, which can be enabled somewhere in the account settings. And I've seen some youtube uploaders on github, which use said key to upload stuff to youtube. Which means it is theoretically possible. The problem is, as soon as youtube will find out what we are doing it will revoke all those keys or do something to prevent this very thing from happening. Because their number 1 goal now is to keep people in.

@blenderdumbass absolutely agree. At this point it seems like I need to get newer YouTube's that haven't been entrenched yet or folks actively looking to support the Fediverse. Thanks for the thoughts and great Convo sir! :-).
