#sknebel[jeremycherfas]: I don't understand were the idea that users can't handle plaintext formats comes from either...

#[manton]Starting to get a little bit of pushback on the feature I worked on at IndieWebCamp (showing replies Micro.blog knows about, including Webmentions, on your own blog post) because some people might want to opt-out of having their replies appear on someone else's site. Reminds me of Bridgy and including Twitter replies even if the Twitter users don't know that is happening. Has that kind of discussion been documented anywhere? Not seeing anything on
#[manton]Thanks y'all. I missed the backfeed page.
#[manton]I was also wondering how our terms of service on Micro.blog relates to this. Going to paste the relevant text in here in case someone has feedback:
#[manton]> Micro.blog does not claim any ownership rights in any text, images, photos, video, sounds, links, works of authorship, or any other materials that you post to the Service (collectively, “Your Content”). After posting Your Content to the Service, you continue to retain all ownership rights in Your Content, and subject to any licenses granted by you, you continue to have the right to use Your Content in any way you choose. By posting or sharing
#[manton]Your Content, you grant Micro.blog only the limited rights that are reasonably necessary for us to provide the Service, which includes, without limitation, the right to store Your Content and share or display it with other users of the Service.
#[snarfed]good terms, but probably don't cover this case specifically
#[manton]Yeah, I don't think so either… Unless it's a very broad reading of the "display it with other users" line.
#[manton]Generally if someone is replying to someone else's blog post, there's kind of an active choice there that they are letting their reply out into the world. But I can see how not everyone might feel that way.
#[snarfed]right. distinction between posting a comment a) directly on someone else's post, 2) on your web site and then sending a wm, and 3) somewhere without sending a wm, and then another service backfeeds it
#Loqi[pratik] @bix I’m uncertain if I want my replies appearing on someone else’s blog. I’m afraid it may have a chilling effect on my replies behavior. Appearing just on the timeline has an ephemeral feel to it.
#[manton]I'm kind of hoping this is a temporary problem, too. What I mean is that right now, people post to a "silo" and assume it will stay there. In the future, I could see people being a little more educated that when you reply to something, you're replying across different blogs, potentially.
#aaronpklike yes it's a good thing that it makes you think about what you're putting out on the internet

#[snarfed]subtweeting is kind of the same distinction _within_ silos, right? ie you reply if you want them to see it, and show up under their tweet as a reply, subtweet if you don't?
#Loqi[Chris Aldrich] sub·men·tion (noun informal): 1. A post about someone or something on a personal website where one neglects (accidentally or on purpose) to either send a webmention and/or syndicate a copy out to an appropriate social silo. 2. Such a post which exp...
#LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for ".@mention called" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say ".@mention called is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#[snarfed]unnecessary now? afaik tweets that start with @-mentions now show up in timelines like normal and aren't hidden any more? not sure

#sknebelIsn't the current thing reply and then self-retweet?
