#ben_thatmustbemeis it just that it doesn't pick up the reply without that?
#ben_thatmustbemewould it make sense to remove the username on backfeed?
#aaronpkafaik on twitter you can only leave out the @-mention for replies to yourself. other ppls' replies require they mention the name of the person they're replying to
#Loqiben_thatmustbeme meant to say: its stranger that the UI lets you remove the mention in a reply box and have it appear as a regular tweet
#ben_thatmustbemewould it make sense for bridgy to strip out the @mention?

#aaronpkI don't think so, because the @-mention can be re-arranged within the text. mayyyybe makes sense to remove it if it's the first thing in the text, but i'm not convinced
#ben_thatmustbemei feel like there is no good place to remove it, I don't really want to have code on my end for something that might be a reply from a specific silo (and might not be)
#ben_thatmustbemeto me it makes the most sense there, since its really a matter of masking twitter awkwardness, but yes you would likely only want to do it if its the first thing in the tweet

#aaronpkI guess I don't really consider it "twitter awkwardness". that's just how people talk on twitter
#ben_thatmustbemenice, it works, likes are now just generalized to reacji hearts on my site
#ben_thatmustbemei suppose i should still keep something around to display like count should anyone want that from it
#tantekSlack displays count for each - is that what you mean?
#tantekhey there mr emoji - I somehow forgot to copy the emoji from my IG caption to my own post so they didn't go through to the POSSE copies of my photo this morning.
#Loqireacji is an emoji reaction, the use of a single emoji character in response to a post, introduced as a feature by Slack[1] https://indiewebcamp.com/reacji
#tantekben_thatmustbeme: I have questions, like how does one markup an emoji? is it just a reply with one emoji character? is it a like that also has content of one emoji character?
#aaronpkI didn't make any changes to post my reacji there
#aaronpkhaving spent time in several slack channels dedicated to specific "topic"s like "#bad-attitude" where people post sometimes quite awful things and are looking for sympathy or just need to vent, reacji definitely don't feel like fancy likes to me
#aaronpki think actually not combining them is more representative of what's happening
#tantekso I can reacji anything and at least have the recipient get the "like" meaning even if they don't interpret the reacji
#aaronpkwell that will require that the recipient prioritizes the content of an in-reply-to over the like-of property. from what i've gathered, implementations differ on what takes precedence
#tantekah I think I figured it out. the "likes " text should only go in p-summary for those that don't even interpret likes
#tantekdo they? I mean which implementations do what?
#aaronpkthis came up recently, can't remember where exactly
#aaronpkwe were comparing webmention implementations, some people have a bunch of if/then blocks that check for specific properties, but not everyone does it in the same order
#tantekben_thatmustbeme: see also how I'm "summarizing" my reacji to your post - in a way that I can post it in-stream and hopefully have it make sense out of context
