# Loqi [superfeedr] "10? Facebook notifications in 2+ weeks:
1? accepted
1? w 16 mutual
1? w 6 mutual
7? no mutual friends
Of the 10 Facebook friend notifications since I'd last checked over two weeks ago, one was an acceptance from someone I’ve known for 10+ years, one friend request from someone I've also known for years yet had only 6 mutual connections, one request had 16 mutual friends but is someone I cannot recall meeting (nor did search engines find any web pages that mentioned both of us), and **seven** were friend requests from people I have never heard of and had zero mutual friends with.
70% of Facebook friend notifications were spam, or appeared to be enough for me to ignore them (slightly higher % if you just consider friend requests). Just one anecdotal data point over a short period of time, but still.
I’m curious if there is an option to block friend requests from people who have zero connections with you.
This also makes me think we’re on the right track in the IndieWeb with the Vouch protocol.
https://indieweb.org/Vouch
It also reminded me of when the 2004 Gmail beta required someone to invite you to Gmail, you could not just sign up out of the blue.
Perhaps there was something to that “protocol” as well." on 2017-08-16 http://tantek.com/2017/227/t1/facebook-notifications-vouch

# sketchess What is a repost?
# Loqi A repost on the indieweb is a post that is purely a 100% re-publication of another post. The act of reposting is an umbrella term that covers the general practice of republishing another post typically on the same service or silo, but more and more across sites https://indieweb.org/repost
# sketchess What benefits is in there repeating stuff? In general.
# sketchess The concept sounds not logical to me. Hmmm.
# aaronpk feel free to expand. i've captured some reasons I repost things https://indieweb.org/repost#Why
# sketchess It blows my mind that one thing might be repeated a 100 times or more. It has no value. *thought
# sketchess Hmmmm.... no I do not fit that picture.

# sketchess I think there is a difference between a quote and a whole re -blog -post. I would prefer the quote, if I am up to make a point.
# Loqi A quotation is a type of response post that is primarily a subset of the contents of another post, and often has a citation of that other post https://indieweb.org/quote

# sketchess Do you archive aaronpk?
# Loqi archive in the context of the indieweb refers to date-grouped (often monthly) sets of posts (AKA personal historical archives, a common form of navigation), but can sometimes mean archival copy, a copy of a web page made (often by someone other than the author) at a particular point in time https://indieweb.org/archive
