Is the web "beta" chat mentioned earlier today different than the freenode one linked from /irc?
#
gRegorLove
Yeah, colintedford_
#
gRegorLove
"beta" lets you chat directly from the log page

Ok, that's what I thought. First time on the web chat & was confused at the non-log experience :)

HI, Kevin Marks pointed me here, I am not a techie ;)
#
Oliver__G
I tried to connect quill to blogger.com via silo.pub and got
#
Oliver__G
Type: ErrorException Code: 8 Message: Undefined index: me File: /web/sites/quill.p3k.io/controllers/auth.php Line: 163
#
Oliver__G
(and a longer error code to follow, need that, too?)

@coreymwamba have a look at xfn as well as that is more widely deployed than foaf #indieweb

@kevinmarks I'm probably definitely going to stick with foaf in RDFa - usage stats here: http://t.co/MPgKEDe3dT #indieweb

#
aaronpk
hmm I was just able to sign in to quill using my blogger acct through silo.pub
#
aaronpk
I wonder what's different with Oliver's setup
#
aaronpk
the problem was somehow silo.pub didn't include the "me" parameter in the callback. (The Quill freakout about that was a bug, which I fixed, but now it will just say that error)

[snarfed]
ooh that tweet points to http://webdatacommons.org/structureddata/which looks like an industrial strength version of <https://snarfed.org/indie-stats>
#
[snarfed]
we should get them to add mf2 stats!
#
Loqi
I agree
#
aaronpk
they are looking for a bunch of mf1 already

@kevinmarks
@coreymwamba what we say in indieweb in general is 'use this, and get this benefit' - indiewebify.me is an example of that
(twitter.com/_/status/630112328374054912)
#
@coreymwamba
@kevinmarks that's why I'm rolling my own. The Webmention spec is very clear, but it will take me some time; but it's very interesting
(twitter.com/_/status/630112402000998404)
#
@kevinmarks
@coreymwamba webmention is a good example; the basic protocol is simple; parsing out mentions' meanings is incremental

#
@t_s_institute
@kevinmarks yes, that's true. But in an truly "independent web" a user's Taylor Swift shouldn't require a shim but an agnostic service.
(twitter.com/_/status/630112664493162496)
#
@coreymwamba
@kevinmarks but that's what I mean: I have a profile: it's part of the indieweb. But I can't connect with you because of data format choice.
(twitter.com/_/status/630113277679374336)
#
@coreymwamba
@kevinmarks if I don't use microformats, then indiewebify.me can't accept me. It's not agnostic.

[snarfed]
huh. aaronpk is that a clustered mention?
#
aaronpk
oh dear
#
aaronpk
yes it is
#
aaronpk
oh weird, it just didn't get to IRC properly
#
aaronpk
here's the actual notification
#
aaronpk
bridgy feature request, don't include the "like-of" property on the links that are in the tweet?
#
[snarfed]
hmm. that's the whole point though, right?
#
aaronpk
no, he liked kevin's tweet, not the links in it
#
aaronpk
bridgy should include those links on the page, but not with the "like-of" property
#
aaronpk
the notification text there is interpreting the mf2 correctly, that the post is a like of the IRC URL
#
aaronpk
without the "like-of" property, it would say "Corey liked a post that linked to ____"
#
[snarfed]
right, this is that long lived question about distinguishing silo posse posts from mere mention posts
#
aaronpk
not really
#
aaronpk
it's just an mf2 thing
#
[snarfed]
we came up with heuristics but nothing decisive
#
aaronpk
i don't think it's specific to twitter at all
#
[snarfed]
oh no i don't either
#
aaronpk
it just becomes way more clear when you see it written as notification text
#
[snarfed]
i understand your use case and the problem. the difficulty for us is that this could be a posse post where that link is the original
#
aaronpk
oh right jeez
#
[snarfed]
barring u-syndication, I'm not sure we have a good way to distinguish programmatically
#
aaronpk
well, the link isn't at the end of the tweet, that's a pretty clear indicator
#
aaronpk
i suppose i could live with the false positives like if kevin had included that IRC link at the end
#
[snarfed]
yeah that's one heuristic. we're currently more promiscuous than that
#
[snarfed]
product decisions
#
[snarfed]
the issue has good discussion and links, I'll find it
#
aaronpk
seems like everyone is agreeing that matching on the author's domain is a good idea
#
[snarfed]
that does sound possible
KartikPrabhu and interactivist joined the channel
#
[snarfed]
just fyi though I kinda intentionally chose to make it this aggressive to get the widest compat and interop. i get all the counterarguments and counter use cases, but i haven't quite been convinced to reign it in just yet
#
[snarfed]
definitely glad for the ongoing discussion though!
#
aaronpk
I think the notifications might be the thing that does it
djwesto joined the channel
#
aaronpk
cause we're basically going to see a bunch of notifications of people liking wiki pages in here now, and i'm guessing it will confuse quite a few people
#
aaronpk
but time will tell
#
[snarfed]
could be yeah
#
[snarfed]
I'm still not sure we have a solid solution though
#
[snarfed]
eg websites in twitter profiles are common, but a bit less so on fb, and way less on Instagram
#
aaronpk
hm yeah
#
aaronpk
maybe a good starting point would be only treating links at the end as the original URL
#
aaronpk
i mean i can't think of any bad things that would happen with that
#
[snarfed]
damn i wish we had actual data :P
#
aaronpk
data on?
#
[snarfed]
frequency of all of these things
#
[snarfed]
as opposed to anecdotal educated guesses
#
aaronpk
you could start tracking it, right?
#
aaronpk
analyzing and logging everything that bridgy sees?
#
[snarfed]
it's pretty much all stored permanently, so yeah, i could crunch numbers
#
aaronpk
wha? I thought bridgy didn't store anything!
#
[snarfed]
but man. my kingdom for indie-stats!
#
[snarfed]
it definitely does
#
[snarfed]
only public stuff, but yeah, all of it
#
aaronpk
oh wow, I had no idea.I thought that's why it fetches the silo post on each pageload
#
[snarfed]
some of that is to honor if it's been updated or deleted
snarfed joined the channel
#
snarfed
let's see. total storage size right now is ~9G
#
aaronpk
adds "dragplus.com" to the block list
#
snarfed
for ~2k users and ~1.8M responses
#
aaronpk
we should definitely have a 2 million responses party
#
snarfed
even better, for 1M webmentions
#
snarfed
over 200k now

iirc your Flickr app's numbers are even more impressive though!
