Loqi, there should be a way to exclude paper.li links, so much garbage

Hey, is there a post-type-discovery style algorithm for webmentions?
#
j4y_funabashi
Can't seem to find anything on the wiki
#
j4y_funabashi
What is post type discovery
#
Loqi
Post Type Discovery specifies an algorithm for determining the type of a post by what properties it has and potentially what value(s) they have, which helps avoid the need for explicit post types that are being abandoned by modern post creation UIs https://indiewebcamp.com/post-type-discovery
#
j4y_funabashi
What is mention type discovery
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "mention type discovery" yet. Would you like to create it? https://indiewebcamp.com/s/10PA

Mentions are posts, so using post type discovery makes sense
mlncn joined the channel
#
j4y_funabashi
Yeah I thought that at first
#
j4y_funabashi
But I a reply post I have written is different from a comment on something I have written
#
j4y_funabashi
And some of the more exotic mentions like person tags are dependant on the position of the target url, which is not part of an h-entry's properties
#
j4y_funabashi
Hope that makes sense

Also salmention type discovery requires history of the source

!tell j4y_funabashi re: post-type-discovery style algorithm for webmentions, same algorithm
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
tantek
!tell j4y_funabashi let's figure out any difference (or places that need more detail) that might exist with things like person tags or salmention. I'd prefer to incorporate those directly into post type discovery

Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

[Kevin Marks] The point of html is to be a resilient long term document format. Replacing it with nested javascript dependencies is a bad idea. #indieweb

GWG
!tell snarfed I found a better way to do one of the changes I was doing based on something I did in webmentions. Going to resubmit as part of the request to clean up.
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
rMdes
all these users in some way collected a tweet with the indieweb hashtag and now their "paper" got out. since that particular tweet might be popular (even relatively to other collected content) it ends ups has "featured" hashtag on that particluar "paper" edition, hence the "promoted" tweet
#
rMdes
among all the services actually useful to curate a bunch of links, I have this particular disgust for paper.li, #webjunk and the damn service is still alive /paperlirantover

#
miklb
it's spam imo
#
tantek
miklb is it all those tweets with "The latest ... Daily ..." ?
#
tantek
like those users have auth'd paperli to auto-tweet on their behalf perhaps?
#
tantek
trying to figure out a way to filter this spam that doesn't just resort to banning everyone that seems to get suckered into authing paperli
#
tantek
that being said, if you see specific accounts there that you think are just spam themselves (in addition to the paperli tweets) then definitely point them out and there's a few folks that can ban specific accounts
#
tantek
wow a lot of those accounts seem to be *only* paperli tweeters
#
tantek
yeah, anyone who only tweets the same paperli junk for a month is not adding value to anybody and thus getting the ban hammer

!tell GWG,snarfed,miklb do you get any value from @WordPressTTT ? Seems to just repeat stuff seen elsewhere with no additional value. Considering banning as spam.

#
miklb
tantek yes.
#
miklb
they aren't direct links to articles

yes = ban? or yes = you get value?
