#gRegorLoveGeez, so many advertisers I've allegedly "interacted with" according to Facebook on the Ad Preferences page. I cleared these out about six months ago and there's a LOT there again.
#gRegorLoveMaybe it's like every advertiser they've shown me
#gRegorLoveHm, no. "With your contact info" what on earth.
#gRegorLoveOf course you can only remove by clicking on them individually.
#tantekand just got requested again that I opensource / document the improved URL input box that I use on tantek.com/relmeauth/
#gRegorLoveFB seems to claim these are advertisers who have my contact info, and FB lets them match up my profile to their records so they can advertise to me.
#gRegorLoveBut sorry, I've never been a customer at David's Bridal.
#gRegorLove"Advertisers you've interacted with: With your contact info" then "Review advertisers whose ads you may be seeing currently because you're on their customer list."

#[unoabraham]Update: Moved IndieAuth to 1.com, and set up Own Your Swarm. 2.com is my blog/microblog, and where I want the updates sent to.
#[unoabraham]Unfortunately, the check-in was posted to 1.com.
#[unoabraham]I'm sure there is a workaround/fix, but the easier fix right now seems to be to set up IndieAuth on the domain where the actual content will be posted.
#[unoabraham]I'm just using 1.com, 2.com, 3.com as examples. I'm having content on multiple blogs, one specifically a photoblog, one a regular blog, and one a daily/microblog.
#[unoabraham]It is easy to POSSE all of this content to one Twitter ID, or a Facebook profile or page. IndieWeb on the other hand is not playing well. I'm trying to get IndieAuth on one domain working across all domains.

#[unoabraham]I would like to use my portfolio website (a single page website) for IndieAuth. However, as stated above when using Own Your Swarm the content is being posted to my portfolio website and not to my microblog.
#[unoabraham]I would prefer check ins, status updates, etc. to go to my microblog.
#[unoabraham]Folks using incoming webhooks, is that an app or are you posting on a website and the messages are getting crossposted to Slack?

#@EwoutWolff.@frankmeeuwsen : leve het Indieweb. Onze gedachten, relaties en identiteiten zijn van onszelf. Laten we een afspraak maken om bij te praten.

#sknebel"indieweb hosting" ^^^ - is that someone we know?
#jeremycherfasYes, sknebel, I believe it is pierre-o who does drop in from time to time. I may have his nick wrong. I used it for about a year to host my Known.
#schmartysknebel: indieweb-hosting.com appears to be run by https://about.markwaters.eu/ (found by following their about page to @IndiewebHosting on twitter and doing reverse image search on the profile pic to find their GitHub profile with a link to that homepage)
#[manton]Wondering if I missed that they had a change of heart.
#sknebelcweiske: agreed, not even basic information and using the "brand" so prominently isn't a good look
#sknebelManton that looks more like they've decided to keep it that way, otherwise they wouldn't have removed the entire thing?
#[manton]Yeah, it's hard for me to say. The original title was "Get started with custom domains". I haven't been able to find an official policy anywhere else.

#[eddie]So I decided I'm expediting my removal of Facebook (https://eddiehinkle.com/2018/03/22/5/article/) and I expected that my friends and family on Facebook would be confused and think it was a horrible idea. It turns out, lots of "normal" people are very upset with Facebook and are not surprised I'm leaving.
#[eddie]I think the biggest challenge is I don't have a good solution for private sharing for them. My recommended ways to keep in touch with me are micro.blog or signing up for my periodic email that I'm going to have my website send. Worse case scenario: Twitter. However, of the feedback mechanisms (micro.blog or twitter) those both tend to really be public posting 🤔
#[eddie]I think that is the biggest hole in the IndieWeb armor right now
#KartikPrabhuthat and setting up and managing you own website
#[eddie]Well, that's why I recommended micro.blog for the majority of my Facebook relations since none of them are techie. That would be their best option. A place to post thoughts and photos
#[eddie]It allows them to enter the IndieWeb with the least amount of friction currently
#KartikPrabhu[eddie]: but they then have to trust the micro.blog is not doing anything funny
#[eddie]That is correct. Generally people tend to trust the "techie" friend in my circles. I don't know how many will take the leap, it's tough to get people to move from what they are used to
#[eddie]I am considering bringing that up with my family at the very least
#KartikPrabhuZegnat: that is fine for [eddie]'s immediate friends but then what about freinds of friends? and the whole "social graph" <pun intended>
#KartikPrabhuit is the "i'll move if all of my friends do also" problem
snarfed joined the channel
#ZegnatAt some point they would be too far from [eddie] to trust his Known instnace by default. So they either find someone else to host a Known instance or have to trust a third party like micro.blog?
Pierre-O joined the channel
#KartikPrabhuZegnat: yes, but that propagates through the "graph"
#ZegnatYou can’t transport the entire social graph from Facebook to a single thing in one go anyway
#KartikPrabhuyes, you can't but sometimes that is the criteria people use
#KartikPrabhuto decide whether to move from FB or not
#[eddie]I have to say, though, regardless of how many people that I know ACTUALLY leave Facebook, based on the responses I'm seeing I do think they are in the weakest place they've ever been
#dgoldProcessing of personal data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, or trade union membership, and the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the purpose of uniquely identifying a natural person, data concerning health or data concerning a natural person's sex life or sexual orientation shall be prohibited.
#snarfedwill defer all of this to lawyers if/when necessary (hopefully never)
#dgold9(2)(e) only refers to that data in 9(1) which has been made public, I'd take it out of your GDPR statement (IAALBIAN_Y_L)
#dgoldYou could say something like: Brid.gy does not process data, other than that processing which it is instructed to carry out by users: The transmission of public data from your website onwards to Internet Services, and the transmission of interactions with your posts on Internet Services back to your site.
#snarfeddgold: thanks for the help! bridgy really does only process public data though, by design. https://brid.gy/about#fully+public ...so in that case, does 9 2 e maybe still apply?
#dgoldIt applies where that data would otherwise be covered by 9(1), yes
#dgoldsnarfed: but it is not correct in its current form - I think that Brid.gy _is_ almost certainly exempt from most of GDPR, but not on the basis of 9(2)(e)
#snarfeddgold: people say lots of things about their ethnicities, political opinions, etc in posts that bridgy handles, so 9.1 and 9.2.e still seem applicable, right?
#aaronpkit sure does seem like a good time for this
#[tantek]Did anyone else notice the almost “indieweb advocacy” section/paragraph in Tim’s post?
#[tantek]The web that many connected to years ago is not what new users will find today. What was once a rich selection of blogs and websites has been compressed under the powerful weight of a few dominant platforms. ”
#dgoldif I was snarfed, I'd stay _far_ away from backfeeding anything to do with private groups
#dgoldyou aren't held to a higher standard than the services where someone makes those posts
#[tantek]So tempted to reply to that with, agreed Tim. Tantek.com is my blog, where’s yours?
#dgoldyou might be held to the same standard, however, so you need to make sure you're cocked locked and ready to rock with data exporting & data deletion procedures
#dgoldbecause you know & I know there are teams of m'colleagues out there chomping at the bit for May 25
#snarfedthanks. my initial plan for export and deletion is manual until it hurts, since i expect (hope) i won't get any requests. :P
#[tantek]Re: Bridgy, isn’t this mitigated by Bridgy only handling already publicly accessible data?
#Loqi[snarfed] dgold: thanks for the help! bridgy really does only process public data though, by design. https://brid.gy/about#fully+public ...so in that case, does 9 2 e maybe still apply?
#[eddie]Considering that bridgy literally EXISTS to export data to the user’s controlled website, I think you are safe
#ZegnatI don’t know how Bridgy works. E.g. if I have a post only visible to friends, will it backfeed comments on that? My friends have never posted that to be visible outside that specific audience, and definitely not on the public web. Surely they haven’t consented to have their data processed by Bridgy?
#dgoldsnarfed: a.20: THe data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided
#dgoldso, i'd argue pretty strongly that you're exempted under a.2(2) `for purely personal or household activity`
#dgoldREcital 18 clarifies 2(2) with the following:
#dgold"This Regulation does not apply to the processing of personal data by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity and thus with no connection to a professional or commercial activity. 2Personal or household activities could include correspondence and the holding of addresses, or social networking and online activity undertaken within the context of such activities. "
#dgold`with no connection to a professional or commercial activity`
#dgoldI would still advocate to you both that you could 'belt&braces' the whole thing with a strong Data Export Function and an effective Data Deletion/Termination method
#dgoldif someone is deleting their account (hey Facebook!) then the presumption is towards deletion of all data

#[colinwalker]When you look at recital 18 it says: “Personal or household activities could include correspondence and the holding of addresses, or social networking and online activity undertaken within the context of such activities. However, this Regulation applies to controllers or processors which provide the means for processing personal data for such personal or household activities” - would the likes of bridgy and webmention.io be caught here?
#dgold[colinwalker]: yes, because there's a corpus of eu law which says that personal activities are activities which are not linked to or associated with the derivation of income of commercial activity
#dgold:( the milk things in this motel coffee set are labelled "milk"
#[colinwalker]But isn’t there a distinction here between the personal activity and the additional processing? Personal activity = people’s blogs which can hold data but not comply whereas the processing to pass the data between them is not. Or am I overthinking it?
#dgoldyou're overthinking it a small bit, [colinwalker]
#dgoldthe activity by snarfed, aaronpk &c is the 'personal activity' i'm considering
#@Ipstenu@cleverdevil There are people who don’t actually have other viable, maintainable alternatives in order to communicate with family :/ Which is insane, but April Glaser was right on this one. IndieWeb hasn’t caught up to where it’s doable for everyone. (twitter.com/_/status/976910221854498816)
#@cleverdevil@Ipstenu I agree that IndieWeb isn’t there yet, but there are PLENTY of viable alternatives for communication with family. Email. Google / Yahoo Groups. iMessage, Signal, SMS. A whole slew of other apps and services.
The problem is friction. (twitter.com/_/status/976910982504005632)

#chrisaldrichskippy: Hopefully that WithKnown instance is working well enough. It's been a while since I've cleaned out some of the spam or upgraded to master, but welcome!
#gRegorLoveFor indieweb-to-indieweb comments, we post a note on our site with some specific microformats ("in-reply-to") then send a webmention to the URL we are replying to.
#chrisaldrichkaushalmodi, yes, may folks have brid.gy accounts and connect their social media accounts which brid.gy proxy's webmentions on their behalf.
#chrisaldrichkaushalmodi that should have some additional documentation and examples ^^
#gRegorLoveLooks like you're using webmention.io. Let me try sending you a webmention. We can confirm it was received at least, then work on how to display them.
