Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

[jgmac1106], What's Kanban?
#
Loqi
gRegorLove_: [jgmac1106] left you a message 1 hour, 7 minutes ago: an interesting KanBan style reading collection: https://tender-tune.glitch.me/

#
[eddie]
gRegorLove Kanban is the philosophy of moving ideas through columns of progression. That’s what Trello was based on

Ah, interesting
iasai and [tantek] joined the channel
#
[tantek]
Would that apply to moving blog post ideas/drafts through a profession?

[tantek]
progression*

#
[jgmac1106]
I always called it moving a list item between three different lists, but in a way yes, and thought about that with read, watch, and listen. I think I would want to update a progression more than publish three posts
#
[jgmac1106]
or even better use webmentions maybe to link my progression through three posts
iasai and [aaronpk] joined the channel
#
[aaronpk]
Yes it could, but it's specifically about the visual representation of it. It's a great way to keep track of progress on multiple things tho, like if you write multiple posts in parallel and want to track progress of idea through draft and publishing stages
#
[jgmac1106]
Oh yes....I am addicted to cards the list item I move around..if I took the time would be styled into nice cards and moved into other cards....I may want to hack on this...doing it on the wiki page now: https://indieweb.org/User:Jgregorymcverry.com

[jgmac1106]
hope Japan is treating you two well pics have been great

side effect of being able to "easily" (in my UI) add alt text to my photos, now I have the extra cognitive step of writing alt text for each photo!

my appeal: "I have never posted any harassment ever - please review my tweets!"

jamietanna[m]
Oh no, that's really sucky 😞 Could be that someone's flagging you as a way of trolling ?
iasai joined the channel

I wonder if there is also something about your account because of all the errant “@t”s that people put in random tweets

What time is it for [tantek]?

In [tantek]'s timezone, America/Los_Angeles, it is currently 2:32am on March 20
#
Zegnat
Good call on the morning thing!
#
[tantek]
at least I got alt text working, on a /multiphoto even, which Bridgy successfully POSSEd to Twitter, alt text included
#
[tantek]
and for about an hour you could see the POSSE tweet and verify the alts

How do I send references to a photo to a micropub endpoint? I know mine takes it through headers of some kind, is it just mf-photo?
iasai joined the channel
#
GWG
URL references or uploading the file?
#
[Rose]
URL references
#
[Rose]
I already uploaded all the pictures for once 😄
#
GWG
Then the reference is just photo, not mf-photo
#
[Rose]
Gotcha, thanks!

Hello Rose!

I just figured out how to get my avatar on here :LOL:

I am missing about 40 posts before I can switch to WordPress, so close

Unfortunately I'm about to record a podcast, so I won't have anything finished to show tonight
#
[tantek]
aaronpk, yes my main @ t account. and I just checked and they apparently suspended my less used @ tantek account too.
#
[tantek]
KevinMarks I don't understand how getting an account suspended has any impact on being able to steal it
#
[tantek]
Sounds like just trolling to me
#
[tantek]
(and yeah, still suspended, haven't heard anything from support)
[jgmac1106], jackjamieson, [kevinmarks], dougbeal|mb1 and iasai joined the channel

ok I'm going to archive the suspension in internet archive

for posterity

Wow, not just locked, hiding all your posts?

What is gopher?

It looks like we don't have a page for "gopher" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "gopher is ____", a sentence describing the term)

So used to consuming your stuff elsewhere [tantek] it took Zeldman’s tweet to know you’d offended the Twitter overlords 😉
jimpick and [tantek] joined the channel
#
[tantek]
[davidmead] interesting - so you saw my most recent post about getting alt working? (wasn't able to POSSE it, yet)
#
[tantek]
TIL: You can't block accounts on Twitter if your account is suspended.
#
[eddie]
Loqi << feature request: It would be cool if Loqi could watch items on [[events]] and announce it when or shortly before it starts in the IndieWeb channel
#
Loqi
ok, I added "feature request: It would be cool if Loqi could watch items on [[events]] and announce it when or shortly before it starts in the IndieWeb channel" to the "See Also" section of /Loqi https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=58363&oldid=58144
#
Loqi
I think shortly before it starts in the indieweb channel
#
[tantek]
or maybe in the meta channel?
jackjami_ joined the channel
#
[eddie]
If it is an event beginning I think that would be of general interest
#
[eddie]
In case people want to participate

[eddie]
but, yeah either one works

snarfed
[eddie]: sounds like an extension of what sknebel did with kaja?

[eddie]
snarfed: That's true, Kaja could probably do it as well

alright going through a bunch of other accounts FTR to note what's been locked/suspended or not

Wait, what sort of people react to Zeldman on https://twitter.com/zeldman/status/1108401652946661379 ?! When I scroll down I get the option to “Show additional replies, including those that may contain offensive content”. I don’t want to see offensive content, I jsut want to see what people have to say

@zeldman
Welcome to Twitter, where Nazis and bots post freely, but @t is suspended.
(twitter.com/_/status/1108401652946661379)
#
[tantek]
And that's the set I've checked so far
#
Zegnat
Ah, apparently [jgmac1106] noticed it too
#
Zegnat
Twitter is weird…
#
[tantek]
[Zegnat] maybe a good opportunity to screenshot that as an example of silo (auto-)moderation?
iasai joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106]
Yeah I couldn't get it back after I clicked. World needs to know it goes Nazis, bot, then @t in terms of evil.....
#
[jgmac1106]
The end is near for Twitter POSSE... They will follow Facebook and cut off the write API... Or say Bridgy falls under the new "paid tier" of develop apps
#
gRegorLove
"I don’t want to see offensive content" Twitter might not be the best site then, haha
#
snarfed
whoa there, hold your horses
#
snarfed
[jgmac1106]: are you extrapolating from tantek's suspension? or recent twitter API changes? or...?
#
[tantek]
snarfed, at least I got to successfully test Bridgy Publish multiphoto+alts to Twitter before they suspended my account
#
snarfed
i saw! yay
#
[tantek]
I saw it (still have the tab open with the POSSE tweet, with Inspect element with the alt values)
#
Loqi
does a happy dance!
#
[tantek]
was literally the last thing I was able to post before the suspension. So, I post photos with decent alt text for the first time, and Twitter decides to suspend me for "harassment".
#
[tantek]
literally an hour later.
#
snarfed
for the record, i have no reason to believe "the end is near for twitter posse"
#
[kevinmarks]
I wonder if having multiple accounts is now a negative signal
#
[tantek]
adactio has multiple accounts he uses regularly, and automatically, for his links, journal posts etc.
#
[kevinmarks]
The api throttling they announced won't affect brid.gy?
#
gRegorLove
multiple accounts + no mobile number on the account is probably a negative signal
#
snarfed
[kevinmarks]: 1qps on the timeline endpoints? good nudge, i don't think bridgy uses them but i'll check
#
snarfed
(also those are read, not write, so unrelated to posse)
#
[tantek]
gRegorLove they've locked/suspended my account before, and I've followed up with support, and they've unsuspended/unlocked it before, and explicitly made a note that I don't have a phone number and they should not be asking for one
#
gRegorLove
Twitter > Settings > Notifications has options to mute notifications including from people "Who haven't confirmed their phone number"
#
gRegorLove
Yeah, I figured
#
[tantek]
sure that's fine. still doesn't justify when their entire UX (anytime they show a phone number) states it as optional
#
gRegorLove
That stinks, sorry it's happening again
#
gRegorLove
Not justifying, just noting it.
#
[tantek]
Only thing I can think of is some form of targeted DoS false report harassment due to my single letter Twitter name
#
snarfed
agreed, seems likeliest
#
gRegorLove
Yeah, I've seen lots of anecdotes of that happening
#
Zegnat
Aren’t single letter names exceptions already? Are any of those random people who just happened to register them? Feels like they might be able to just mark those as never being auto-moderated
#
[tantek]
That would be a reasonable approach yes
#
[kevinmarks]
Also anyone with a user account number under 100,000
#
[tantek]
[kevinmarks] that would be an excellent way to auto-seed an "invite only" new network, app, site etc.
