[schmarty] Hi davy__ you can try webmention.rocks - it's a pretty complete test set for checking how a site or publishing tool handles webmentions.

# [jgmac1106] Version 1.5 of Mozillas Web Literacy Mao we really tried to up the focus specifically on reading and writing for the web: https://learning.mozilla.org/blog/web-literacy-map-v1-5 Mozilla buried the version and then released 2.0 with a new team "invite only"

# petermolnar fed.brid.gy is black magic
[schmarty] joined the channel
# petermolnar at least we don't have to roll our own, given fed.brid.gy is there
# petermolnar so less snowflakes
# [jgmac1106] I would propose not using the word snowflakes, its a loaded term and also used as a dogwhistle by the far right
tglobe joined the channel
# petermolnar [jgmac1106]: with respect, I'm getting tired of phrases being hijacked by groups, there's nothing wrong with snowflake in the context of my own static generator's potential AS compatibility

Zegnat https://schub.io/blog/2019/01/13/activitypub-final-thoughts-one-year-later.html#what-it-is-not - talks about the “wiggle room” in the spec
# [jgmac1106] I misunderstood your contexrt
# [jgmac1106] I thought you were referring to people who were sensitive to disagreement
# petermolnar if there's wiggle room in a spec, we get another ISO8601 which is madness
# [jgmac1106] My apologies, happened a few times yesterday and I meant to mention it, as term to describe people it is usually thrown on those fighting for equity
# petermolnar I know that, which is why I pointed out that context matters :)
# [jgmac1106] I think i crossed channels as well as I flipped between chat and indieweb, good reminder to myself to slow down, read, understand, think, then write
# [kevinmarks] Snowflake is from Fight Club and has dodgy political associations, especially now. Snowflake API was coined around the time of poco/as1 iirc
# [kevinmarks] Ryan called his unique id service at twitter Snowflake too
[tantek] joined the channel
# 
Loqi snowflake in the context of the indieweb, is typically used to refer in a derogatory way to "snowflake APIs", APIs that are (often silo) website or service provider-specific (unique like snowflakes) rather than an open standard https://indieweb.org/snowflake
# 
Mikaela I hadn't encountered the term before and only connected it to Tor's Snowflake bridge https://snowflake.torproject.org/
# [kevinmarks] snowflake << Twitter's unique id service https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/twitter-ids.html
# Loqi ok, I added "Twitter's unique id service https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/twitter-ids.html" to the "See Also" section of /snowflake https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=56086&oldid=10544
[schmarty] joined the channel
# [schmarty] woah that is an interesting Tor bridge idea!
# [kevinmarks] Add it to see also too?
# [jgmac1106] yeah I hopped from chat to indieweb and hadn't had coffee yet
# [jgmac1106] nice to connect with the edcamp folks gwg might be an interesting approach to offer them a custom theme for all the edcamps out there
# [jgmac1106] most are on either Google sites (eww) or WordPress
# [kevinmarks] snowflake << popularized by Fight Club but predates it https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/books/news/a52667/chuck-palahniuk-snowflake-alt-right-origin/
# Loqi ok, I added "popularized by Fight Club but predates it https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/books/news/a52667/chuck-palahniuk-snowflake-alt-right-origin/" to the "See Also" section of /snowflake https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=56087&oldid=56086

@youngvulgarian You know what I miss? Blogs. I miss blogs! I miss doing my weekly round of half a dozen blogs I liked to see if anyone had posted anything new, instead of just scrolling on here then on Instagram then on here again. I think we should bring back blogs. (twitter.com/_/status/1091720207373086720)
