Zegnat Good morning IndieWeb
#
Zegnat is all caught up on logs
#
jacky morning IndieWeb!
#
jacky I'm def peeking in early lol
#
jacky Zegnat: how's your day so far?
#
Zegnat Slow. As a Sunday is allowed to be.
#
Zegnat How are you jacky?
#
Zegnat What time is it for jacky?
#
Loqi In jacky's timezone, America/Los_Angeles, it is currently 6:53am on December 23
#
Zegnat Re: Your Christian Bible and Christmas Trees being on IndieNews, looks like it uses some sort of syndication WordPress plugin? GWG, is there a plugin that comes with IndieNews support by default?
#
jacky I'm doing well. Testing some code before I go off to make some breakfast and tea
#
jacky checks IndieNews
#
jacky oh interesting
#
jacky maybe their site is sending a Webmention?
#
[jgmac1106] There is a separate plugin
#
[jgmac1106] I think [pfefferle] maintains it
#
[jgmac1106] I am trying to migrate some Medium publications to the new post collection template I made
#
[jgmac1106] https://jgmac1106homepage.glitch.com/ptbinder.html
#
[jgmac1106] Oops
#
Zegnat jacky, yeah, the HTML contains a syndication link to indienews. So I am thinking there may just be a plugin and they toggled whatever was included as a default
#

#
Loqi [Name] Collection Title
#
[jgmac1106] Clearly haven't done the media queries as I look at my phone.
#
[jgmac1106] For those who celebrate the coming of their savior enjoy the holiday season. For those who gather with friends and family enjoy. For those of other faiths, soldiraity in peace
#
GWG Zegnat, not by default, you have to check it each time
#
GWG Syndication Links does Indienews, and the Bridgy Webmention stuff
#
Zegnat But it does come with IndieNews setup by default? I can see why someone would check All The Things for exposure. So if IndieNews shows up in the post interface by default, why not check it…
#
[jgmac1106] If you were evangelizing you would check everytime
#
jacky lol
#
GWG Yes, technically it does
#
Zegnat I wonder if that’ll lead to issues some time down the line
#
jacky yeah with people just flinging content at IndienNews
#
jacky maybe a pre-req sign in?
#
Zegnat I don’t have any obvious solution. Just a thought I had in regards to making something too accessibile (if there is such a thing)

jacky word
#
GWG Think I should disable by default?
#
Zegnat For now I don’t think it is a problem. We haven’t seen people randomly syndicating to IndieNews yet. I am just wondering (out loud) whether it will become a problem and how to best handle that.
#
GWG I made it to syndicate my own stuff
#
GWG I can write a new webmention based syndication provider in ten minutes with inheritance

#
Zegnat This is probably turning into a discussion for #indieweb-dev or #indieweb-wordpress.
seekr, swentel and metbril joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] Not a problem yet but wonder if we will need to add Indielogin or a white list of urls for syndication... If it got crazy
#
GWG Well, I would say you register before your domain is whitelisted
#
GWG If it comes to that
#
Zegnat The idea of a website like news.indieweb.org and indieweb.xyz is that people can submit things. I am not actually sure how many hurdles you want to introduce there.
#
Zegnat I think the minimum hurdle is to have people know about the website. Which is why I am not sure defaults are a good thing in this case.
#
GWG Zegnat, I will take a few measures next time I do an update
#
[jgmac1106] Make sense and why waste brain power on a nonexistent issue
#
Zegnat Not trying to give you more work GWG, sorry!
#
GWG I am not planning on going back to syndication right now
