@aaomidi So @SlackHQ decided to send me this email. No way to appeal this decision. No way to prove that I'm not living in Iran and not working with Iranians on slack. Nope. Just hello we're banning your account. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Du1flhkXgAAyV4o.jpg (twitter.com/_/status/1075621119028314112)

petermolnar Anchakor: I've reacted to that hn submission, but it seems like really hard to talk to some of the crowd there, their immediate, knee-jerk reaction is the "think about people without the knowledge of html!" and they tend not to hear the alternatives you list
# petermolnar as in alternatives to mainstream silos

[asuh] petermolnar: I think that’s part of the challenge we must take on, evangelizing to not just other developers and power users but to enterprises, companies and businesses which provide these services. The turnkey solution for Indieweb still exists in fragments and many of us on here embrace and understand. I think there’s still a large case to be made to for the rest of people out there who don’t understand or maybe even care.
# Anchakor petermolnar: it's a very diverse crowd there, don't take the responses you get as representative of anything

chrisaldrich There is an interesting UI piece on that potentially misplaced Christmas trees post on indienews.
# chrisaldrich They've got a "Leave a Reply" section at the bottom that allows one to reply using one of three methods: Disqus, Facebook, or via "IndieWeb"s
# chrisaldrich I don't think I've seen that sort of multiplicity tabbed out like that before. Though it still separates the conversation streams for users rather than having one unified UI.
