Facebook is not going away, it's really silly when people think it is.
#
[unoabraham]
IndieWeb is still for geeks and/or folks who have a lot of free time on their hands.

heh. Facebook users sure seem to have a lot of free time on THEIR hands... :)

[unoabraham]
Very true. I have always wondered how they spend their entire day twiddling on the smartphone and looking into it.

In March I said I was leaving Facebook but I hadn’t set a date. Because of Facebook’s API changes that will stop me from posting from my website, I will no longer be posting on Facebook as of August 1st #deleteFacebook #indieweb https://eddiehinkle.com/2018/03/22/5/article/

I know people who have been blocked from Facebook because someone reported them for not using their “real name”. On the other hand, when I last reported a business that was using a person-profile rather than a business-page, I got back that the account in question was sticking to all the community guidelines :facepalm:

My internet service provider has a portion of the acceptable use policy to prohibit running a home server. Part of the #indieweb movement is the ability to be able to manage your network without relying on monopolistic providers.

[cleverdevil]: schmarty left you a message 1 day, 9 hours ago: extremely cool! I have been very curious about the specifics on setting up WSGI apps on lambda so I’m excited that you’ve done it with screech.

Hopefully, Twitter doesn't follow suit.
#

nah they're going the paid route. which isn't great either, but is at least the opposite direction in that they're investing in providing access

is there any "safe" way to add an email to my h-card without it being fetched by spambots? I know it kind of defeats the purpose, but should I just live with the fact that if my address is out there it will be targeted with spam?
#
cweiske
there is no safe machine readable way
#
cweiske
because both spam address harvesters and also indieweb tools are machines
#
cweiske
you can use hex encoding, which will only confuse the most simple harvesters
#
cweiske
I do this in my blog:
#
cweiske
<a href="&#x6D;&#x61;&#x69;&#x6C;&#x74;&#x6F;&#x3A;Christian%20Weiske%20%3C&#x63;&#x77;&#x65;&#x69;&#x73;&#x6B;&#x65;&#x0040;&#x63;&#x77;&#x65;&#x69;&#x73;&#x6B;&#x65;&#x2E;&#x64;&#x65;%3E?subject=Re:%20Grav%20CMS%3A%20previous%20is%20next">send an e-mail</a>.

no idea if that helps

ugh, my presentation is on Saturday and I've barely had any time to revise slides. does anyone have a long and short of any updates in the indiewebverse that I should read/be aware of over the past year or so?
#
aaronpk
feel free to grab any screenshots there
#
Salt[m]
thanks aaronpk !
#
Salt[m]
ah yeah, totally forgot about the w3 stuff, that would have been a big miss
#
aaronpk
oh and wordpress has a built-in indieauth server now
#
aaronpk
er, plugin
#
aaronpk
but it means that people using wordpress sites with micropub don't rely on indieauth.com anymore
#
sknebel
generally more Indieauth implementations, but WP is clearly the biggest one
#
Salt[m]
any new validators? going through my links right now confirming they are all still active...
#
Salt[m]
aaronpk: is woodwind gone?
#
aaronpk
yea :(
#
aaronpk
but now we have more readers because you can build a reader now without having to also build a whole feed fetch/parse system
#
Salt[m]
awesome!
#
Salt[m]
how about anything related to fediverse and/or all of the mastodon stuff?
#
aaronpk
what is bridgy fed?
