[manton] [tantek] I've heard that suggestion from other people too and I'm considering an option in Micro.blog so that it always adds a link back to the blog post. Personally, I like not including the link unless it's too long to fit in a tweet, just because it looks nicer.
#
[manton] [kimberlyhirsh] Sounds good! Let me know if you have any feedback about changes that should be incorporated into the default themes for everyone. I know the Microformats still isn't consistent everywhere.
#
aaronpk i also don't like how tweets look with the link at the end so that's why i don't do it myself
#
aaronpk however you can take one of my tweet urls and look it up at https://aaronparecki.com/original-of to find my original

[tantek] As a reader I’m less likely to do the work to share the original, so if you’re ok with the tweet links being shared instead of your permalinks then no problem!

#
[Michael_Beckwit i kind of figure, if i can’t be bothered to copy/paste your permalink, did I really want to share it that bad? if I do, then i’ll put in the effort
#
[Michael_Beckwit may be why i don’t have social sharing buttons on my posts, beyond just the 3rd party dependence/tracking risk
#
aaronpk I'm willing to make that trade off
#
[Michael_Beckwit previously, i had considered disabling comments in favor of “hey, respond to my post on twitter”, but yeah, that was from years ago before i discovered the idea of webmentions and the IW in general

takev[m] [snarfed] Since the bridgy error is on my end, shall I remove the issue?

#
[KevinMarks] if there is no extra info at the link than in the POSSE copy, clicking on it is redundant for the user. Also, if the posse copy shows a link preview you can get repeated content displayed, which looks bad.

#
[jgmac1106] I remove the url preview from Known and add the permalink, I want people to know my website is the source and Twitter a copy, doesn't look too bad on twitter

aaronpk after spending so much time on the events site, it's making me really unhappy with the way events work on my own website now 😭
#
[snarfed] oh man what a funny poison pill
wolftune joined the channel
#
GWG aaronpk: How so?
#
aaronpk a bunch of things... my site treats events like every other post except for displaying them, so they appear in reverse chronological order rather than showing what the next event is
#
aaronpk also my site doesn't understand that some events have no time info, just start/end days
#
GWG I have faith you'll fix it

[KevinMarks] dates are hard
#
[KevinMarks] sets mac date format to ISO 8601 to try to avoid this kind of thing
