#LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "address of the website" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "address of the website is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#[Bryn_Wolf]I'm trying to organize all the hosting sites, domains, etc for a friend after the previous person left a mess
#[Bryn_Wolf]for some reason the website is down. you shuold be able to click the main "power button" on the landing page and it would take you to the site, but it gives an error 404 which shouldn't happen.
#[Bryn_Wolf](I'm also new to this and not an expert, but trying to learn how to make these things work well)
#cambridgeport90I am not sure who runs chrisreedtech.com (assuming it's an indieweb site in light of the fact he has micro.blog related content), but when clicking on it from bing, you get a fake flashplayer update download. I have noticed this now with several personal sites.
#[Bryn_Wolf]is chrisreedtech.com related to myplanetrider.com ?
#cambridgeport90Not sure. However,m the next time I click it from the bing search results, the fake flashplayer update didn't appear. that was weird.
#cambridgeport90But when viewing the site itself, I was automatically redirected to some weird page that didn't display. something with a .xyz domain, but it now seems defunct. The auto redirect seems suspect.

#[chrisaldrich][Bryn_Wolf] Was the prior builder/maintainer someone at Fortis Web Systems? On first glance, it looks like it was a custom website build with a splash screen that then likely went to a content management system once that button was clicked. It's likely that the link from the splash screen isn't finding the CMS on the second page. Do you have access to their hosting account?
#cambridgeport90Does that include when mentioning people to add the backets around their name?
#cambridgeport90I never quite got the hang of it, or am I too used to other more modern chat protocols?
#[chrisaldrich]If I recall correctly you should be able to use the base username and the bridge you're on should handle the proper translation for notifications.
#vilhalmerweechat at least will add the brackets on tab complete even if you skip the opening one
#cambridgeport90That's the client I use; .NET based, closer to MIRC.

#@mrdanwalkerSome of the abuse on here is truly vile. How hard would it be to implement a system where you can’t get an account without photo ID? Removing the cloak of anonymity would surely reduce the number of fooligans & numpties. (twitter.com/_/status/1355855016079335428)
#petermolnar> studies on that [you can’t get an account without photo ID] topic would be interesting - it's called Facebook. People don't care any more.
#petermolnar676.2K Followers and the person lacks basic understanding of the current day internet? Beautiful.

#cambridgeport90Just caught myself up on the stuff from this morning. Not sure how I feel about ID verification for account creation. I think it's necessary for some things that require actual info for legal purposes, but otherwise, no.

#cambridgeport90I don't think it helps in getting rid of bad actors.
#cambridgeport90In relationship to this, though, in terms of silos,why Facebook requires my real name, even in my user name, which I actually forget since I can't use my normal alias, yet Instagram lets me be my normal Cambridgeport90 user name. Confusing.
#cambridgeport90(I have my real name also showing up on Insta, but you can @me in the normal way.)
