GWG: made an "unlisted" category, just a normal WP category. Ultimate Category Excluder plugin hides it from index pages, feeds, search. Noindex Nofollow All Posts plugin adds meta noindex.

can take followups to #wordpress if you want
#
GWG
It depends how WordPressy it gets
#
GWG
It is definitely devy, so I would switch to #wordpress if you want to hear my thoughts

GWG: the goal here was to _not_ use password- or auth-based private posts (like wordpress's), but approximate them with unlisted posts, which are much more accessible. more in https://indieweb.org/unlisted#Similarity_to_private_posts

Yes, I think this can be done using a post status

i contend that the internet isn’t necessarily dark, it’s just that humans are, and we enabled those dark humans to connect and communicate just as much as the proverbial “good” ones

Good morning IndieWeb
#
[Michael_Beckwit
[tantek] definitely. before, it was even more niche and you had at best your community to go based off of, if that at times. The ability to connect, and connect anonymously as well helped expand your social network there
#
[Michael_Beckwit
but the internet as we know it didn’t cause it, it was just the tool that connected it
#
[tantek]
depends on what you mean by "it". amplification can cause effects that would never have otherwise happened
#

aaronpk: ^^^ accidental submission? Looks wrong and the post already is on indienews
#
aaronpk
Oh weird
#
aaronpk
I favorited his post
#
aaronpk
not sure why that would have caused my site to also syndicate my post to indienews

!tell aaronpk most people I think syndicate by using a syndication link. Malcolm syndicated via a category. I’m wondering if your site automatically adds categories to its likes from the original source? Then add in auto webmention to any URLs in categories and voila accidentally syndication
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
[eddie]
But it would only happy when people use indienews as a category rather than a syndication link
#
aaronpk
Ohhh yeah that's it

aaronpk: [eddie] left you a message 2 minutes ago: most people I think syndicate by using a syndication link. Malcolm syndicated via a category.

#
aaronpk
Well that's sneaky
KempfCreative joined the channel
#
aaronpk
i guess maybe i shouldn't include categories from the external posts if they are URLs
#
[eddie]
Yep, seems like a good ide
KempfCreative and [tantek] joined the channel
#
[tantek]
Wait how do you syndicate to indienews by category?
#
[eddie]
You “person tag” it and send a webmention
#
aaronpk
it's worked like that from the very beginning
#
aaronpk
i guess that also means I won't be copying person-tags from external posts either, which also seems correct
#
aaronpk
although that would have been a shortcut for the "aaronpk liked a post you were tagged in" notification

Also @tantek aaronpk we met Ryan at DWeb Camp today and it inspired me to start using Webmentions for our project (Permaweb). I’m a bit confused with webmentions vs activitypub, would love to take a bit of time for a chat

unlisted private pages status update: i've made a number of my photo album pages unlisted, with visible indicators, and moved their links from https://snarfed.org/pictures to a new "private pictures" page. (feel free to guess its url, but please don't post it. 😁)
#
[snarfed]
all images are robots.txt-blocked, private pages are rel-noindex-ed. pretty happy with the results so far. will wikify. background: https://indieweb.org/unlisted#Similarity_to_private_posts
