# 02:45 billbennettnz I know how to put the rel=me link in a header on my home site, but what is the correct form for a link back from a secondary site to the mothership?
wolftune joined the channel
# 02:49 billbennettnz It's my minor and unimportant business site... which only exists because clients ask why we don't have one. It would be nice to identify though. Its at fridaystreet.co.nz
# 02:50 billbennettnz with the same form as on the mothership site?
# 02:53 billbennettnz Ah... that's the bit that confused me... well confused isn't the right word. It's the bit I didn't know.

# 14:29 Zegnat “had trouble finding microformat-parsers” – in other words, microformats.io isn’t discoverable enough? Good to know!

# 15:46 tantek interesting discussion going on between dgold and sgreger!
# 15:47 tantek dgold, based on the background / reasoning you give in that post, I also doubt that just including a few minimal ads or affiliate links would make a personal site "commercial". especially if you're not earning much from it - you're not actually doing "commerce" by any reasonable definition
# 15:47 aaronpk that's true, but there is plenty of precedent for such ads being considered commercial activity
# 15:48 tantek like gift giving is not considered commerce or commercial
# 15:48 tantek aaronpk - only when a blog is the author's primary source of income
sebsel joined the channel
# 15:48 tantek and often have paid options like patronage etc.
# 15:49 aaronpk that isn't always the case. I've had problems with ads on my site before
# 15:49 tantek including one ad or an affiliate link is unlikely to have anyone reasonable conclude that a site is not personal
# 15:49 tantek but yes if your blog is mostly ads and such then that starts to look like an attempt at a money making enterprise
# 15:50 tantek I disagree with the absolutist thinking that you must have zero ads to be personal
# 15:50 aaronpk I used to host my website on a server in my dorm room at college, and I had google ads on it. At one point I got a letter from the IT department saying I had to take down the ads or move the site elsewhere.
# 15:50 aaronpk it wasn't about personal vs commercial, it was about commercial use on my personal site
# 15:50 aaronpk no, it was aaronparecki.com but hosted out of my dorm room
# 15:50 tantek on their ISP? yes education institutions often have their own weird rules
# 15:51 tantek aaronpk OTOH all colleges I know allowed usenet groups that had plenty of for sale etc. stuff
# 15:51 aaronpk i'm just saying I have personal experience with ads on my website being considered commercial use
# 15:55 aaronpk was trying to dig up the email, if it was even sent to me in email. that was before I was using gmail tho!
# 15:55 aaronpk it may have been a physical letter they mailed to me tho

# 16:10 Zegnat GWG++ Nice one. And, I think, that is exactly the thinking sgreger wanted to cause. “Ethical design” etc! How you personally are going to keep archives is one question, giving other people the tools to manage data ethically is the other. You seem to know where you stand on both!

tantek joined the channel
# 16:31 dgold tantek: while _I_ might agree with what you're saying viz advertising, DPAs are a different story
# 16:31 dgold the consensus would appear to be that having advertising _qua_ adverts on a site makes a site a commercial activity
# 16:32 tantek it's also one of many reasons why I don't put ads on my site
# 16:32 dgold note that affiliate linking (rather oddly) does not appear to be considered commercial activity
# 16:33 dgold once its not the raison d'etre of the site, that it
# 16:35 Zegnat dgold, but surely you still have to disclose said affiliate links per trade commision guidelines, if your national trade commision has said guidelines in the books?
# 16:35 Zegnat seems to recall some YouTube centric debate about that
# 16:36 tantek dgold that seems consistent with what others are saying (affiliate links != commercial)
# 16:36 dgold Zegnat: that may be so, but its not germane to whether a site is commercial or private

# 16:50 GWG Is rel=disclosure appropriate for a privacy policy link? Or do we have something else?
snarfed joined the channel
# 16:53 Loqi A disclosure is a bit of content, typically on a home page, on an indie web site that proactively discloses some aspect about the site that the site owner wants the user to explicitly be aware of https://indieweb.org/disclosure
# 16:54 GWG So, is that rel-disclosure? Which is a thing apparently
# 16:54 Zegnat No, that seems to just be about the type of content, not how to mark it up
# 16:54 Zegnat I was just hoping we had a page with markup examples already
tantek joined the channel
# 16:58 GWG So how do I mark up a link to my disclosure or privacy policy so that it is known to consumers?
# 16:58 Zegnat Not sure anyone has been doing that yet on the IndieWeb? Maybe time to set your own standard! Ha
# 16:59 Zegnat I know rel-license and the like were discussed previously, on the subject of “how do I know if I can safely repost something”
# 17:01 GWG I prefer Microformats. u-privacy ?
# 17:02 Zegnat But scoped to what? To an h-feed? To every h-entry?
# 17:02 GWG I would think that it might be in the home page if not every page
# 17:03 Zegnat Yes, but all mf2 properties are part of an mf2 object (h-*). And I do not think anyone is doing h-page on their html elements ;) (This might be quickly feering into #dev talk!)
# 17:04 GWG So let's steer to the theoretical
# 17:05 GWG Should consumers of Indieweb pages be able to identify the privacy policy?
# 17:05 tantek more important than what rel value or microformats is what link text
# 17:05 GWG I am working that out concurrently
# 17:05 tantek I don't know of any machine consumers of any privacy policy or disclosure etc.
# 17:05 tantek I'd say research and document the *user visible* aspects
# 17:06 tantek and procrastinate on any / all format issues until then
# 17:06 GWG tantek, was wondering if there should be, so that I would have some idea whether someone I was talking to wouldn't want me to show their conversation
# 17:06 GWG But I will have a privacy policy update for all of my stuff this week
# 17:07 tantek "whether someone I was talking to" --> you have to just read their website
