[chrisaldrich] it would be cool to bring back voting though... I'm pretty sure html5 left the rev attribute out... is it worth a new microformat or is there something else we could leverage to vote things up down or sideways?
#
sknebel this github profile page thing is seriously getting people to play: https://github.com/radiac/
#
sknebel I guess the "I can put this on the (previously boring) profile" + a few widely shared examples does that
#
[chrisaldrich] is kind of disappointed that the "sign my guestbook" on that ^^ example doesn't work at all...
#
sknebel in the source image it is a link, but githubs cache strips it: https://lol.radiac.net/cgi-bin/status.pl
#
[chrisaldrich] or maybe it does, you just have to click a second time...
#
sknebel oh right, guess its because its an <img> then
#
[tantek] They're so close to [ ] Use my personal domain to serve my profile [_______________]

[tantek] wow that's quite the IG/FB /silo-quit: https://www.instagram.com/brilliantcrank/
#
aaronpk That's very good
#
aaronpk I should probably do that too at this point since I haven't posted on Instagram in ages either
#
Loqi yea!
#
jacky same
#
skalnik That is fantastic! Quite the inspiration, since I also stopped posting on Instagram
#
[tantek] I dm'd him to see if he would be ok with me listing him on /silo-quits

Zegnat I don’t think I ever had a MySpace

Zegnat MySpace launched 2003, but 2004 the Netherlands had its own social network launch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyves

#
petermolnar silo quits are great from one perspective, from a current, played, hacked, impossible to use search perspective, it's damning. Thought experiment: web rings, but for hastags, per content, with preview from other pages. (Somehow without spam. sigh.)

#
[KevinMarks] We did that at technorati 15 years ago. The "without spam" part was hard.
hs0ucy, swentel and KempfCreative joined the channel
#
petermolnar but technorati was an aggregator - I meant a full-on webring, embedded in the pages themselves.
#
[KevinMarks] As in a raw link webring where they're all linked in order, or one that calls to a central database to get the left and right links?
#
aaronpk petermolnar: i could add a webring to indienews pretty quick :-)
#
aaronpk it's basically a hashtag aggregator

#
[KevinMarks] We called them tagspaces back in the day
[grantcodes] and markong joined the channel
#
petermolnar I'll reword it: in many CMS you could add a widget to see "related" articles. I was wondering if a glue could be made to do that across sites somehow, in a controlled fashion.
#
petermolnar Now that I wrote this down, I realized it could be done with webmentions, but it might need a specific type of mention.
#
aaronpk Yeah I know what you mean, it wouldn't take much to do that with indienews for example
#
aaronpk as long as relying on these sort of aggregators is okay rather than trying to do it peer to peer
#
krjst if anyone is interested in self-hosting a minimal git server, i recently made a script automating some of the chore: https://0x0.st/Xgq-
dckc, markoong, hs0ucy, [Erik], [pfefferle] and [tw2113] joined the channel
#
[KevinMarks] that was one of the things we did for technorati too - I think that is hard to do without some kind of hub.
#
[KevinMarks] within-site related articles tend to be done with tags in common; I suppose you could do external refs if your site had your reading history, but a lot of the utility of those things is spanning individuals
