it's around 16,ooo (and growing thanks to the twitter kerfuffle) - very trusted in a small niche

> Yes. When you use Solid, you only need to login to your Identity Provider.
Maybe I'm not understanding your direction here, but I'm specifically looking for an Identity Provider service to auth ActivityPub service users.

do you plan on a paid white label option?

I run three services (Mastodon, Pixelfed, WriteFreely) and would like to have my community use one set of credentials on all three (and any other service they would like to) - is this what I'm understanding is the intent here? I want to run more services but I simply cannot stomach yet more credentials.

Agreed. I've been pasting this anywhere I see the frustration
Think of it like your phone number, it's a service and you need a provider. Choose one by location https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/mastodon-near-me_828094 makes no difference, they all talk to each other and you can move servers at any time
And it's curated for servers that are open for registration so hopefully no dead ends

>no conspiracy theory has yet emerged arguing that the Empire never really fell at all, and that everywhere from Carlisle to Cairo is still secretly being run by an emperor hidden somewhere under Rome. Which is a pity, because that would be brilliant.

Not OP, and no idea on pricing, but https://www.spymesat.com/new-tasking.html appears to allow you task a satellite selfie on demand

>Twitter's motives to suspend an account for reporting court proceedings
It's clear Twitter suspended the account for TOS violations, and not the subject matter.
I have no dog in this fight, do not follow the case, but a quick search of Twitter yielded these not-suspended accounts that are "reporting court proceedings" as you say:
https://twitter.com/USvMaxwell https://twitter.com/Trial_Tracker https://twitter.com/CultStateDotCom https://twitter.com/MaxwellTrial
There are dozens at first glance.
There is even a trial tracker tracker...

So, @hxkandbe's request that we use the suspended account's blog post about the suspension to add some context and clarity is in no way suppressing the discussion, but instead seeking to elevate and inform it.

I meant sort of aware, not sort of federated. But yeh, not really.

>I am not sure if they are aware of the Fediverse
According to the account owner's substack, they are on Gab. So, sort of.

>Hospitals set their prices above what most insurance companies will pay to make sure they get the maximum amount from the insurance company
Tis is generally not as simple. There are two prices that matter to this conversation: the hospital chargemaster and the usual and customary rate (UCR). The two are not functionally intertwined. The chargemaster exists in the hospital back office as a legal fiction and has little to no relationship to anything the insurance companies do although yes, sometimes chargemasters may be used as part of the rate negotiation with insurers. UCR is governed by what it says on the tin, it is what the market is paying in the specific geography.
The shenanigans kick in when the hospital tries to do something with the fictional difference between their chargemaster and the UCR, or, worse, tries to charge the fictional price to uninsured and under-insured individuals.
I keep a short explainer here: https://jaz.co.uk/2015/10/15/hospital-retail-pricing-for-dum...
