jargon << https://www.vulture.com/amp/2020/02/spread-of-corporate-speak.html “I like Anna Wiener's term for this kind of talk: garbage language. It's more descriptive than corporatespeak or buzzwords or jargon. Corporatespeak is dated; buzzword is autological, since it is arguably an example of what it describes; and jargon conflates stupid usages with specialist languages that are actually purposeful, like those of law or science or medicine

Title: Sharing Gratitude
#
gRegorLove
Keeps a gratitude journal on her micro.blog
#
jonl
Testing
#
gRegorLove
Thanks Jean and Manton for inviting her
#
jonl
Thanx for increasing the volume on the stream, whoever did that.
#
jonl
Loud and clear now.
#
gRegorLove
lives here in Austin, works as an academic fundraiser
#
[chrisaldrich]
Natalie was introduced on an earlier edition of Micro.Monday: https://monday.micro.blog/2020/01/06/natalie-hester-aka.html

Loqi
77: Natalie Hester, aka @nataliekayh
#
gRegorLove
things changed about 10 months ago when their daughter was born
#
[jgmac1106]
gRegorLove++ for scribing

Social Media: The Good
#
gRegorLove
Helped connected her to moms
#
gRegorLove
Made it easy to learn things. Loved the likes and comments.
#
gRegorLove
The third party validation felt great.
#
gRegorLove
Social Media: The Bad
#
gRegorLove
joined Austin Moms FB group. Over 20k members, conversations pretty intense.
#
gRegorLove
Found herself getting judgmental about some people.
#
gRegorLove
Plus a deluge of ads for weight loss
#
gRegorLove
Eventually realized wasn't part of a community that shared her values
#
gRegorLove
Competing Missions:
#
gRegorLove
non-profits often have different missions than the companies they work with
#
gRegorLove
libraries v publishers
#
gRegorLove
"support your local library"
#
[chrisaldrich]
What are books?
#
Loqi
A book is a written work typically longer than an article, on the indieweb, there are examples of publishing whole books on IndieWeb sites, and publishing lists of books https://indieweb.org/books
#
gRegorLove
Companies like FB collect our data and inject influencers and ads
#
gRegorLove
"you just constantly feel like you're being marketed to, and judged"
#
gRegorLove
An acquaintance drewcastillo.micro.blog posted daily on FB. Simple statements of what he was thankful for and what he was looking forward to that day
#
gRegorLove
Last year he announced he was leaving FB and going to micro.blog
#
gRegorLove
She followed him and set up her micro.blog
#
gRegorLove
and started posting a daily gratitude post
#
gRegorLove
There are many days she wakes up less than grateful.
#
gRegorLove
Taking a moment to stop and think about it has improved her days.
#
gRegorLove
Why Micro.blog:
#
gRegorLove
Could have bought a notebook to keep a gratitude journal
#
gRegorLove
She had been inspired by Drew and thought if she shared online she might inspire someone too.
#
gRegorLove
m.b "It feels a bit like Hulu after we started paying a little bit and got fewer ads"
#
gRegorLove
The discourse seems pretty civil and content seems real
#
gRegorLove
Recommends trying to start a gratitude journal for a couple days or a week
#
gRegorLove
Keep up the good work trying to make the web better
#
gRegorLove
*applause*
#
[tantek]
Q: Do you still use Facebook? A: I deleted my Facebook! I still use Instagram.
#
[tantek]
Another reason why I left Facebook, was learning about Facebook's knowing in the current political climate, knowing what they're doing with political ads. I don't follow a lot of my family on Instagram, and I don't allow them to follow me. My circle is a little tighter on Instagram.
#

Title: Without Glue, Everything Falls Apart
#
[tantek]
by Pace Smith
#
gRegorLove
"Welcome to 1993. Have a pile of wood"
#
gRegorLove
Imagine you're back in 1993, this technology lets you type things in and then it appears on the web page. Guestbooks!
#
[tantek]
With this same technology we could have built blogs
#
jonl
We could've stuck with lynx!
#
[chrisaldrich]
What is a guestbook?
#
Loqi
guestbook is a way to allow visitors to your site to leave a comment about the website as a whole, instead of a comment about a specific post https://indieweb.org/guestbook
#
[tantek]
In the future... ... and it's all built on IndieWeb technologies
#
gRegorLove
In the future: we never build the same thing twice, nobody gets betrayed, no more sexual predators, no more marketing, no more bad science [missed one]
#
[chrisaldrich]
no more capitalism
#
GWG
I'm more a Lycos person myself
#
[tantek]
"We never build the same thing twice" - reusable functions etc.
#
[tantek]
"IndieTrustWeb", just as website link to each other, we need people to be able to say "I trust you"
#
[tantek]
"No more sexual predators, we had Gamergate, #Metoo, and in the future we have GlassCupidor where people post transparently about their exes"
#
[tantek]
(gRegorLove please continue! I'm only partially taking notes!)
#
gRegorLove
"No more marketing: IndieTrustWeb Goods and Services Recommender ITWGASR!"
#
gRegorLove
No more bad science:
#
jonl
FYI streaming feed has a lot of distortion.
#
aaronpk
yes sorry there's nothing i can do
#
gRegorLove
No more capitalism: IndieTrustWeb helps prevent fake news, "I trust you"
#
gRegorLove
media has less influence
#
aaronpk
stream issues -> #indieweb-meta
#
gRegorLove
all of these problems get solved by IndieTrustWeb. This is the glue that holds the future internet together.
#
gRegorLove
So thanks to us for creating it.
#
gRegorLove
*applause*

Title: Social Readers
#
gRegorLove
Realized at one point he hadn't posted on FB in six months, worried people might have thought he died
#
gRegorLove
Made a post on FB that he doesn't post there anymore with links to his site
#
gRegorLove
Liked Instagram, but mostly used it because he had a pipeline where ownyourgram posted his photos back to his site
#
gRegorLove
They've locked down the API so that's not working as well (at all?)
#
gRegorLove
Twitter isn't really fun anymore either. Random order with the algorithm, every tweetstorm ends with the "please unroll"
#
gRegorLove
Thinks we can do something better.
#
gRegorLove
has been posting on his own site for a while. Which is great, but very different from using it every day as a social experience.
#
gRegorLove
Integrated posting and reading experience had been missing in indieweb
#
gRegorLove
In the pas we had Google Reader. Was good at aggregating stuff around the web. Was still just one direction though
#
gRegorLove
web-based application, responsive for desktop and mobile
#
gRegorLove
there's a handful of others: /Indigenous on iOS and Android
#
gRegorLove
Can log in to these readers and see the same content he has subscribed to
#
gRegorLove
the list of feeds he's subscribed to lives on his site, e.g. via /Aperture
#
gRegorLove
Specification for this is /Microsub
#
gRegorLove
Impelemented in WordPress, Drupal, Ekster, Dobrado, others
[datashaman] joined the channel
#
gRegorLove
last night he got a Push notification from his site from Brian asking if the group was still at the restaurant
#
[chrisaldrich]
I don't think I've seen that Microsub icon before!
#
[jgmac1106]
ooh just saw the microsub logo cool!
#
gRegorLove
Went to /Monocle, typed in a reply and posted it. It was published on his site and a webmention sent to Brian
#
gRegorLove
No silos involved in the interaction!
#
gRegorLove
Highlights four of our /principles: Build things you will use yourself, UX and design before protocols, Modularity, Plurality of projects
#
gRegorLove
