Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "BirdWatch" yet. Would you like to create it?_ (Or just say "BirdWatch is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# 
[tantek] Anyone seen / tried this? https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2021/01/25/twitter-crowdsourced-fact-checking-project-birdwatch/ — would seem to be perhaps tangentially relevant to the Respectful Responses pop-up we held

rsheftel8 Looks like a way for bully mobs to silence people and cloak it under the banner of "fact checking"

@tiffanycli I have MANY concerns with Birdwatch. Unlike Wikipedia, Twitter is not one cohesive community, and users are not dedicated to a common purpose of sharing knowledge. Imagine the harassment and disinfo you already see in replies and QTs, but transposed to a “fact check” context! https://twitter.com/BrandyZadrozny/status/1353764843732480001 (twitter.com/_/status/1353770900487720964)

# [timothy_chambe] Hi all. So with the help of some folks here I started an instance on Mastodon just exploring the places where #Indieweb and #Fediverse related technologies bridge to each other and to evangelize Indieweb tech to that space. We're have generated lots of followers from other instances and over 580 peeople have created brand new accounts and made this their Fediverse home. Accounts here have creaated over 4,000 posts mostly on topic.
# [timothy_chambe] I'm updating this page (many of you are already on it) and if there are anyone here that syndicate to Mastodon and want to be added let me know.

petermolnar [timothy_chambe]: some of us definitely use fed.brid.gy (are we frid.gy already, though?) meaning some indieweb sites exist in fediverse as @example.net@example.net

# [KevinMarks] It's on the lawn of Ormesby Hall, so the last one is mostly right. The confusion between Middlesbrough (the post town) and Redcar and Cleveland (the county) and Redcar (a town 6 miles away) is common
# [KevinMarks] The challenge is mapping the UK's messy set of jurisdictions to the vcard levels

# [KevinMarks] A174 is the nearby big road, but it's not exactly accessible from there, so that would be a miss

# [Raphael_Luckom] they used to insert drift in the GPS system around DC so that adversaries wouldn't be able to use it for targeting. I'm not sure it was ever actually effective and I think they stopped doing it

# [timothy_chambe] ↩️ Right now i'm hosting the version at Mastohost...but if it gained momentum I and others who wanted to help program I was thinking down the road we could host directly and even extend the instance or even fork the code with some Indieweb extensions that could be submitted back to the Mastodon developers
# [KevinMarks] yes, quite.

# petermolnar [timothy_chambe]: my message probably got lost; any recommendations on how to include those who are already using fed.brid.gy, and so they are sort of their own fediverse instance with their website in indieweb.social?

# [timothy_chambe] ↩️ One thought down the road is to do a light fork of the mastodon code to allwo sign up via indie auth and then offer that code to the mastodev community. But that would be way down the road and require i self-host the fork etc.
