chrisaldrich Is this the "Leave Britney Alone" moment for why to own and control your own web presence? https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/jessy-taylor-instagram-deleted-account-twitter-youtube-a8863591.html

Loqi chrisaldrich: snarfed left you a message 1 day ago: facebook email notification backfeed issue is https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy/issues/854 , feel free to comment. the key problem is that if bridgy can read your emails from facebook, it could also reset your password via email (at least for many users) and take over your account. sure, *i* won't do that, but it still feels too dangerous and insecure. open to thoughts though!

[audioundergroun Morning everyone 🙂 It's been a few weeks since integrating the indieweb into my new website (actually been doing the two things in tandem) and after you get over the initial "huh?" moment with some of the concepts, it actually makes creating content *fun*! Although as a web developer im wondering if i have too much non-tech stuff on my site, but hey, ive never been big into tech blogging anyway 🙂 Next step is getting own your swarm se
#
[audioundergroun have been using Indigenous for checkins (and most other things), but i had a little play around with the swarm app and its pretty nifty!

#
swentel cool :)
#
[audioundergroun Microsub is great, at first I was like, why would i want to use this? and then i realised its basically having an indieweb integrated (likes, replies etc), RSS reader that will never close down like they allllllllways do 😄
#
swentel hehe, true :)
#
jamietanna|wwwjv That's great to hear audiounderground - I'd personally say don't worry about not having everything as purely tech - people can skip posts they don't want to read about
#
[audioundergroun True 🙂

#
[jgmac1106] ohh that is right did vHWC move to Monday's?
#
Zegnat Yes, it frees up sknebel for Berlin HWCs on Wednesday. And Monday won the poll.
#
GWG Wonder if we should do a poll for vHWC America
#
[jgmac1106] I liked eddies idea of just going every other West Coast and East Coast time
#
GWG We need to formalize it
#
GWG To get attendance
#
[jgmac1106] edit the wiki, add self as organizer and choose the time or send out a poll. I can make this Wednesday West Coast or East
#
Zegnat How are things in the US? Assuming people aren’t free on May 1?
nitot joined the channel
#
cweiske that is not limited to may 1st
#
GWG That is why we probably need a poll.

GWG If you are buying up alternative domains that reflect your name, what should one do with them other than redirect?

#
sonny Hey, I'm a software engineer with good track record in FOSS/federation/... I'm quite interested in IndieWeb but I'm not sure what to expect, does it makes sense for me to join the camp this weekend in Berlin?
[Rose] joined the channel
#
[Rose] If you're in the area anyway it probably would! But there's no requirement to attend camps. You could attend the virtual home brew web camp in 2 hours to meet some of us if you're free then :)
#
sonny unfortunally not available in 2 hours, thanks for your answer, I'll register though
#
[Rose] Are you based in Berlin or nearby? :)
#
sonny moved to Berlin about a year ago
#
[Rose] Cool! Well, hopefully I'll see you this weekend then :)
#
sonny cool indeed, love the city :) see you this weekend
#
[Rose] Sknebel runs a bi weekly meeting in Berlin on Wednesdays.
#
[Rose] What is HWC?
#
Loqi Homebrew Website Club is a bi-weekly meetup of people passionate about or interested in creating, improving, building, designing their own website, in the same structure as the classic Homebrew Computer Club meetings https://indieweb.org/hwc
#
[Rose] That might also be fun to attend.
#
[Rose] !tell sknebel We have a new IndieWebber in Berlin! Sonny
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
sknebel .
#
sknebel oh nice!
#
sknebel meetup is a bit on-and-off at the moment, next in 2 weeks probably
#
sonny thanks for the warm welcome, looking forward to this weekend, cheers!
#
[Rose] I thought it might not be this week, especially with camp this weekend.

#
[tantek] Wow [chrisaldrich] that "influencer" video. Not sure what to think about it but probably worth documenting
#

#
chrisaldrich I wasn't quite sure where to put it though... it seemed almost too extreme for /why somehow
#
[tantek] what is an influencer
#
Loqi An influencer is a person with a large number of followers, typically on social media silo profiles, often with their own independent blog, who also receives a lot of responses on their posts, that brands sometimes seek out, and other times themselves seek out brands, to do deals for goods and/or services in exchange for posts https://indieweb.org/influencer
#
[tantek] ^^^ that's probably a good place to put it
#
[tantek] also this is interesting "Micro-influencers, which are influencers with followers in the thousands range"
wolftune joined the channel
#
[tantek] I'm a micro-influencer! 😂
#
chrisaldrich And obviously there are some unhealthy psychological things going on which are only compounded by the ill effects of social media and personal image/identity.
#
chrisaldrich What is a microformats influencer?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "microformats influencer" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "microformats influencer is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] lolwut
