[chrisaldrich] Maybe we could change our tag line? This one seems more apropos to who we actually are? https://twitter.com/RMac18/status/1338898287957426177

@RMac18 Facebook is having an end-of-year, company-wide meeting right now. One of its executives tried to rally employees by telling them: "We're at the center of what it means to be human." (twitter.com/_/status/1338898287957426177)

alex11 i'll settle for "don't buy all your competition and maybe have a less algorithmic feed"
# alex11 like you don't think it strikes a negative chord with people when you say "yeah so we used onavo to spy on people and bought whatsapp because people were using it so now they're forced to use it and also we said oculus wouldn't need an account and reneged on that"
# alex11 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Loqi Fraidycat or Fraidyc.at is a browser extension for Firefox or Chrome that lets you follow people, see a summary of who has recently posted instead of a news feed, and expand the summaries to see recent titles/excerpts https://indieweb.org/fraidycat

# [KevinMarks] Hah typo
# [KevinMarks] I'm not sure if that method works any more as everything auto corrects now
KartikPrabhu joined the channel
# 
gRegorLove Still correct, afaik. It runs all that in the browser extension

# [Ana_Rodrigues] Copying from #indieweb-meta
# [Ana_Rodrigues] > I feel as if there is a “formality” (even if small) when posting and I feel like I want permission to publish unfinished thoughts/work and being okay with going back to edit them. I thought my new “defined” states would help because certain metadata (like a date) feels like it “seals the deal”.
# [Ana_Rodrigues] For context: I’ve been working on my personal blog and I’m planning on separating it into different sections. One that renders all my posts along with new ones such as: “pixels” (which I would use for photos or digital art), “analog journal” for photos of my actual notebooks, “cursed thoughts” for notes that could have been tweets and finally “drafts”.
# Loqi A draft in the context of the indieweb refers to a draft post, a post that an author has partially written, or otherwise does not consider finished https://indieweb.org/draft
# [Ana_Rodrigues] And, in my head, these “drafts” would be public by default.
# [snarfed] [Ana_Rodrigues] lots of us have felt the same thing! https://snarfed.org/2012-08-11_unwriting , https://snarfed.org/?s=unwriting
# gRegorLove [Ana_Rodrigues], "cursed thoughts" cracked me up. Love that.

# chrisaldrich pardon the language, but I've actually seen people have sections on their websites labeled as "sh*tposts" which is another variant of that pattern for notes.

# 
petermolnar drafts, for me, are offline, not even private. They are not ready for prime time. But I do get the urge to do unfinished (unpolished?) pieces.
# petermolnar but then this suddenly becomes a philosophical question: should only "perfect" pieces be shared?
# petermolnar The answer is obviously no.

# [KevinMarks] right, but then editing your drafts gets tricky - I had a bit of that with this one: http://www.kevinmarks.com/htmlversustex.html as I went back and forth with the author of the post I was linking to
