Podcasters and CMS makers: Next version of Overcast looks for a link in every episode's show notes with <a rel="payment">. If present, Overcast adds a nice green "$" button on the Now Playing screen that opens up that donation/Patreon/membership URL of your choice.

I finally figured it out. It was because of some markup in my template (I was using the independent publisher theme). Will try to add a reference this to the wiki as it can trip up newbies like me https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/691

@chandler yes we know why the u-photo leaks from Independent Publisher into Twitter.. As a community we need to maintain our own fork to keep it current

[jgmac1106], you’ll be happy to hear my posting UI design is nearing its final stages. Getting ever closer to blogging!

sweet! Congrats, if you are putting as much thought into rest of UI as you did with the radial button it is going to look awesome

^^ why we need to fix this for wordpress
#
davidmead
i was wondering if guttenberg update is going to make this worse aaronpk
#
aaronpk
Almost certainly, which is why I wanted to experiment with the alternate approach
#
davidmead
i installed the ‘classic editor’ plugin just in case, but i may just use quill to post everything going forward, or shift from WP (again)

Good morning! To encourage Twitter to drop Alex Jones, I just blocked the Twitter accounts of every Fortune 500 company w/ a Twitter presence. Ready to mass block Twitter's most lucrative advertisers with me? There are three quick & easy ways. Instructions are in this thread.

[kevinmarks], if I block a Twitter account, do advertisements bought by the accounts still get through? Or is everything blocked at once?

#
sknebel
pretty sure ads are blocked too
#
sknebel
at least you can say "block this user" on ads

↩️ Webmention is the more modern specification now as some have mentioned. I wrote a piece on it in @alistapart recently which includes some background and UI examples https://alistapart.com/article/webmentions-enabling-better-communication-on-the-internet It's part of an #IndieWeb suite of open protocols [more...] https://boffosocko.com/2018/08/12/reply-to-mariko-kosaka-on-rss-blogging-and-linkbacks/

I don’t even know if I see ads ... I use the Andy Baio trick to see the timeline
#
sknebel
I also only see them if Firefox decides to silently kill uBlock again

Still a great way to read Twitter (if reading Twitter on twitter.com is your thing): https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=filter%3Afollows%20-filter%3Areplies&src=typd

So I got an account restoration message today for @t:
jalcine joined the channel
#
[tantek]
However several other accounts which I have done very little with lately got the same / similar “locked” message and asking me to add a phone number.
KapiX joined the channel
#
[tantek]
So it’s back to the support request and follow-up emails routine a bunch more times
#
[tantek]
(Not sure if that slack screenshot upload made it)
#
sknebel
if you shared a screenshot, that didn't get through to IRC
#
[tantek]
Yes, right after “@t:”

[manton], [chrisaldrich] and DenSchub joined the channel
#
[tantek]
And was able to log in to twitter @t again
#
[tantek]
Though 12 other accounts which I had done nothing recently with have been similarly locked and requesting verify phone number to unlock. Including such innocuous accounts as @css3color and @css3ui
#
[tantek]
Kinda ridiculous. I’m wondering if they ran a script locking (nearly) all accounts that have never added a phone number

@Pinboard
@JosephRooks @Delicious That's the old message from last year. I guess the site went down

gRegorLove
(According to site-deaths it's been in read-only mode since then, but still)
#
Zegnat
According to /Delicious Pinboard had it available readonly with an exporter... but that all seems to have disappeared? I don’t know what exactly happened and the Pinboard Twitter isn’t very tech or bookmarks oriented at the moment
#
gRegorLove
Yeah, that tweet above he acknowledges it's down but doesn't seem to want to do anything about it.
#

By finding that Tweet you have found more than me, when I looked at it ~3 days ago :P https://chat.indieweb.org/2018-08-09/1533801373658200

[Zegnat] Hmm, has Pinboard abbandoned Delicious? It never seemed to have completed its server move
