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.
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.
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]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.
@EwoutWolff.@frankmeeuwsen : leve het Indieweb. Onze gedachten, relaties en identiteiten zijn van onszelf. Laten we een afspraak maken om bij te praten. Ik wil al tijden een weekend met Thinkers bij elkaar komen. Voor leiderschap: voor onszelf, onze geliefden en anderen. Lets do this. (twitter.com/_/status/976782471357493249)
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]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.
wolftune, [kevinmarks], [eddie] and [cb] joined the channel
[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]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]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
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?
[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.
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?
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?
[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. ”
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
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?
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
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. "
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
[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
[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?
@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.
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.
