good morning indieweb!
#

Morning Sven
#
[jgmac1106]
[acegiak] whisperflow looks cool [jackjamieson] is doing soe neat stuff trying to build a native microsub reader in WordPress
#
acegiak
ooooh!
#
[jgmac1106]
and in other WordPress news [pfefferle] released a new plugin called mf2 stream which should make more themes compatible out of the box
#
acegiak
oh awesome! That's super neat because that's a thing that I think we've been needing
#
[jgmac1106]
for the technical explanation head to WordPress but in gaming news @zegnat is trying to figure out how to set up RPG by webmention
#
[jgmac1106]
and I am (today actually) trying to fork the rules to this: https://www.twittervszombies.com/ for IndieWebvsZombies
jgmac1106 joined the channel
#
acegiak
oh neat! I've done some twitter based RPGs in the past
#
acegiak
Mostly freeform
#
acegiak
I'm interested in using indieweb as the infrastructure for stuff
#
[jgmac1106]
yeah I thought about doing just webmentions, but seems exclusionary, so @sknebel idea was to have install the WebSub/PubSubHubbub plugin so feed readers can be notified
#
acegiak
i mean, yeah. that works
#
[jgmac1106]
...though I am thinking about adding a "webmention brigade" component with some bonuses or multipliers...to I guess gamify onboarding
#
jgmac1106
but now I just want to play lonely engines
#
acegiak
you can join in lonely engines any time you want
#
acegiak
I don't understand why TvZ doesn't have an automatic scoreboard component.
#
jgmac1106
bc it was built and designed by non technical teachers
#
jgmac1106
I am gonna join lonely engine and share it with the #ds106 crowd
#
jgmac1106
if we keep diving deep ionto the weeds on games we should proably head to the #chat channel

but I am thinking of post just being tagged bite or human, I will post a draft set of rules later

#
@acegiak
Yes, Twitter as a platform is bad and getting worse, but I cannot afford to migrate away from a system where I've built a community and audience I love in favour of other platforms where that's actively harder to do. Marginalised folks can't afford to "just rebuild"

chrisaldrich, that tweet has broken my twitter notifications
#
acegiak
what I AM doing, is working on my twitter/indieweb integration
#
acegiak
pulling my twitter feed straight from the api in WhisperFollow now just to make it smoother
#
Zegnat
I think the way reactions to that tweet are saying how Mastodon is going great for marginalised communities, without pointing at instances where I might find these communities, are an interesting sign of the problem.
#
Zegnat
If you move to Mastodon today, how are you going to connect with the network there, if nobody is pointing you at it?
#
acegiak
yup definitely
#
acegiak
also SO MANY replies saying "it's not the platform that's bad, it's the people"
#
acegiak
no fam, it's the platform
#
acegiak
on the plus side, I have WF pulling tweets and displaying them nicely! *does a little dance*
#
[chrisaldrich]
I always feel like my twitter notifications break with even 30 reactions... I can't imagine something at your scale acegiak.
#
GWG
acegiak, you should check out Microsub. It is the future for reading. And this is the year of the reader.
#
Zegnat
When you pull in tweets, are they then chronological, acegiak?
#
acegiak
I'll push to github tomorrow when I fix my hard coded tokens
#
acegiak
yeah, the API gives you chronological tweets
#
acegiak
GWG: I plan to add microsub to WF
#
acegiak
just need to get my head around how to auth it
#
GWG
acegiak, use the IndieAuth plugin.
#
GWG
It implements all of that.
#
acegiak
*grumpy face*
#
acegiak
y'all treat auth stuff like it's so easy, but it's really hard for me
#
acegiak
even if I have the indie auth plugin I still need to integrate the flow into my code
#
[chrisaldrich]
lol... I think it's hard for everyone
#
Loqi
[jackjamieson2] yarns-microsub-server: Early stages of a microsub server plugin for WordPress. Currently in development and not yet stable, so please do not use yet.
#
GWG
acegiak, I spent months learning it
#
acegiak
I have the same problem with stuff like pubsubhubub subscription requests and all that. All of these back and forth flows between servers are actually really difficult to deal with for someone from my kind of code background (duct tape and google)
#
acegiak
chris: I saw!
#
GWG
I sat in a room with aaronpk, then wrote, got reviewed, bought his book...
#
acegiak
I have a nice setup with WF that I find easy to fiddle with at the moment so my plan is to add microsub compatiblity rather than restructuring my whole thing
#
GWG
I was only suggesting you draw on it for inspiration
#
Zegnat
“treat auth stuff like it's so easy” - *apologises profusely*
#
GWG
It is conceptually easy, it is hard to implement because of security concerns
#
GWG
That's why I wanted so much peer review. I didn't want to open a hole.
#
[chrisaldrich]
I remember that hole... 🙂
#
GWG
We found one later despite that.

How about if, instead of ditching Twitter for Mastodon, we all start blogging and subscribing to each other's Atom feeds again instead? The original distributed social network could still work pretty well if we actually start using it

Why is anyone upset with Facebook or Twitter? The keepers of the Web are all of us—the individuals. We built it. And still can. Does no one feel a pang of remorse at abandoning their blogs and home pages? And of not showing the newbs where to safely migrate? (Indieweb, for one.)
