Most of the services are decentralized and support federation to interact with other servers. For example,
using a Pleroma account, you can follow new videos on Peertube or images on Pixelfed, as well as leave comments on decentralized networks and interact with other services that support the ActivityPub protocol. To create an account in the services, it is proposed at salsa.debian.org (requires an account with salsa.debian.org). In the future, it is planned to organize authentication directly through salsa.debian.org using the OAuth protocol.
