#lza1I have a question about webmentions, hoping someone can answer....
#lza1the nature of it seems to be only a one-time notification/update - is it on the operator of a site with webmentions to store the webmentions persistently?
#lza1and if you lose the data/database/however you're storing it you're SOL?
#[aaronpk]Yes that sounds accurate... how else would it work?
#[aaronpk]I suppose if there was some global search engine that you could search for links to your site then you could re-send them if you wanted. Too bad google doesn't really work like that anymore
#[jgmac1106]still think it has to begin with micro efforts at the local news, one new silo to replace the old one just leads to some pigs being more equal than others
#[jgmac1106]like I would love if my local newspaper (a tiny for profit just relaunched and making money) offered some kind of hosting to subscribers or businesses, its the facebook marketplace page that matters for revenue....forget trying to sustain oneself on CPM..fool's gold
#[jgmac1106]scratch that you can sell fool's gold in nick knack shops, less than fool's gold

#[Rose]I find that interesting, in my circle of friends a bunch of us don't actually check the news - there's too much negativity and if something is really important we'll find out another way anyway.
#[Rose]So for us we wouldn't even know about that as a platform.
#[jgmac1106]yeah I always feel like by the time you see the news you already know the new

#[jgmac1106]and this comment "Innovation is rarely driven by big committees at big organizations."
#[jgmac1106]I want each paper to be its own space, think there is space in cities for co-op owned and I think newspapers with targeted coupon newsletters could sell off subscribers a bit of space on their networks, possibly as an additional upcharge, if classified revenue (atleast in US) is not crawled back nothing matters

#[jgmac1106]I live in a tiny town of privilege but people are fiercely loyal to local businesses that support local charity and businesses, something to be tapped here, but would require bringing youth sports, arts, and local biz to table...and money to pour into cities where this much disposable income doesn't exist
#[jgmac1106]but yeah I have always wanted to a version of #checkoutmydomain but with the local journalism students or high school studetns #ReportFromMyDomain, the idea would be newpapers would provide a hosting platform for subscribers and cultivate much richer sales relationships between advertisers and customers that way

#[tantek]!tell petermolnar re: Instagram export and bookmarks, have you tried making a GDPR request of Instagram? Would be worth documenting the result (response time, contents sent to you) and in particular if there was anything missing (like bookmarks).
