I'm very glad that @Chocobozzz is working on PeerTube, a federated video hosting platform. I think there is a lot of, if I may put it, thirst, for a photo sharing platform too. With those superficial differences between how Mastodon works and how Instagram works.

And I mean, you could just fork Mastodon and modify the UI. Or you could build on top of ActivityPub from scratch, like PeerTube does. The possibilities are fascinating. All within one network.

Rolled out a big archiving project today over at the Freedom of the Press Foundation! We're using Archive-It to make online backups of outlets "under threat" by possible interference by wealthy buyers, starting with Gawker and L.A. Weekly freedom.press/news/archiving-a

They’re doing this with Archive-It which was developed by the Internet Archive and the goal is to try to save the online press from the "billionaire problem". News publications bought up and having their archives tampered with to remove stories or having then deleted altogether
