#
avalos [tantek] I just have a question: how does one avoid impersonation with pseudonymity?
#
avalos Maybe a stupid question.
#
[tantek] definitely not a stupid question. great question
#
[tantek] I mean, in general what is the risk of impersonation? (in any given identity "system")
#
[tantek] (aside: this is literally one of the reasons why I reject systems that require phone number as identity, c.f. SIMjacking = anyone can impersonate you on any such systems, e.g. your Signal contacts)
#
aaronpk impersonation is definitely a tough problem, with or without real names!
#
[tantek] avalos++
#
Loqi avalos has 1 karma over the last year
#
[tantek] exactly, it's not clear at all that "requiring" "real names" has any effect on reducing impersonation
#
avalos @Loqi: karma?
#
avalos aaronpk, [tantek]: do you think things like Keybase or similar can help?
#
[tantek] what is karma
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "karma" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "karma is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
aaronpk not really
#
[tantek] what is Keybase
#
Loqi Keybase is a GPG key silo https://indieweb.org/keybase
#
aaronpk it's all a spectrum though
jonnybarnes joined the channel
#
aaronpk things like rel=me or PGP signatures can help in some cases, but it completely depends on your threat model
#
avalos I can't remember the name of a simple identity proofs system, that is entirely open source.
#
avalos Not Keys.pub… hmm…
#
aaronpk there's nothing simple about identity
#
avalos aaronpk: true. There're even people with multiple identities.
#
aaronpk there's a whole spectrum of multiple identities too
#
aaronpk i use my given name everywhere but i even consider myself to have multiple identities and present myself differently in different platforms or websites
#
[tantek] supporting multiple identities is a feature, not a bug 🙂
#
avalos [tantek]: absolutely!
#
[tantek] that Keybase dfn & article needed an update, more in #indieweb-meta
#
avalos *Zoom Keybase
#
[tantek] exactly

#
[tantek] aaronpk, I believe this person is looking for your answer: https://twitter.com/runixo/status/1299778842903576578
#
@runixo @mathowie @soujufreitas I would like to see an app similar to FB but with posts in the TL coming from blogs, comments in the app (but posting to the original blog), social features, recommendations, push notifications, etc. (twitter.com/_/status/1299778842903576578)
#
avalos Loqi: isn't that basically write.as?
#
[tantek] what is write.as?
#
Loqi write.as is a minimal UI blogging tool meant for quick posting with good pseudonymity https://indieweb.org/write.as
#
aaronpk i dunno sounds kind of like https://aaronparecki.com/2018/04/20/46/indieweb-reader-my-new-home-on-the-internet :D
#
Loqi [Aaron Parecki] An IndieWeb reader: My new home on the internet
#
aaronpk wow over 2 years ago now
#
[tantek] avalos, write.as is not a reader at all, it does not do "similar to FB but with posts in the TL coming from blogs"
#
avalos [tantek]: Oh, I see.
#
[tantek] it's a great authoring client for sure, but that's a bit different 🙂

[chrisaldrich] Can anyone help out our old friend Shane? https://twitter.com/veganstraightedge/status/1299892196791836672
#
@veganstraightedge What’s the best way to backup all of the content (at LEAST photos, comments) from an Instagram account these days? I’d prefer not to have to build it myself. (twitter.com/_/status/1299892196791836672)
#
GWG I hope Shane is well. Veganstraightedge.com isn't working
#
sknebel the micro.blog importer doesn't cover comments I guess?
[manton] joined the channel
#
[manton] Nope, it imports photos and your own caption for the photo, not other people’s comments.

#
[tantek] Might have to crawl the permalinks for the comments

#
@NickPacilio This became the most liked Tweet of all time in less than 24hrs. https://twitter.com/chadwickboseman/status/1299530165463199747 (twitter.com/_/status/1299844672219742208)
#
[tantek] That’s the citation for most liked, the tweet itself is quoted
#
[tantek] Do we have a phrase for a series of photo-replies all of which embed the same exact image?
#
[tantek] This one is for you [schmarty] https://twitter.com/officialjlipper/status/1299533132266377224 (note replies)
