@mosseri @BenedictEvans @mims Think of the targeting offered to advertisers—with support to make them more effective—and flip the possibilities, with users as customers.

hi josejuanisaac
#

is there anything like a social REST ?
#

like a standard that people adopt and its just a few basic endpoints like /blog, /about /somethingelse

josejuanisaac that's an interesting concept, but I think it's been done in a different way with standards like /microformats and /micropub if I'm getting your meaning.
#
[chrisaldrich]
what is activity streams?
#
Loqi
ActivityStreams (AS) is a standardization effort to define common types of objects and actions (verbs) taken on various social media sites https://indieweb.org/activity_streams

And that ^^ effort too

For usability aaronpk, you might consider adding !unblock just in case in addition to occasionally checking the block list to make sure useful things don't end up on it.
#
[miklb]
I think that can still be done manually in the IWC twitter user, this just helps stop flooding the channel.

Is there a WHOIS for TLDs ? My question is : who owns ".cat" ?
#
sl007
aaronpk I meant who owns it "legally" - background is referendum.cat cenzorship by the spanish gov
#
sknebel
sl007: the registry is the closest to an "owner" a TLD has
#
sknebel
ICANN delegates out TLDs to registries. There are contracts between ICANN the registry about how they can/have to do that
