GWG [snarfed]: No, but back feed might motivate me

#
[fluffy] I check facebook once a week to make sure nobody in my family died, other than that I basically never post to it
#
jacky [fluffy]: same tbh :/
[schmarty] joined the channel
#
[schmarty] snarfed: I do! Particularly I have an IndieWeb-friendly podcast site with an FB page where each episode also has an FB post where people comment. Would be fun to backfeed those once again!
KartikPrabhu and [snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] [schmarty] awesome! i’ll send you the browser extension soon
[tantek] joined the channel
#
[schmarty] Excitement!
#
[tantek] I was checking FB events like once a week, though that stopped since lockdown.

[snarfed] [schmarty] which browser do you use?
Seirdy, alex11 and [jeremycherfas] joined the channel
#
[jeremycherfas] Like [schmarty] I have a FB page for my podcast, though I don’t use it regularly.

Ruxton there's a thing happening on FB here in Aus, where they've started squashing shared news links, they dont show up in my profile and if i click a notification for them, they 404 and the only way to find is pray to a higher power they show up in news feed
#
KartikPrabhu sounds like a ham-fisted way to deal with the actual problem FB has
#
Ruxton nods
#
KartikPrabhu so you can't post a link that they "disagree" with?
#
Ruxton not even disagreement, they're "at war" with Australian news orgs, they completley kill the reach on any post remotely looking like an australian news org
#
sknebel is that over the "make search engines/news aggregators pay for too-long previews" thing?
markopasha, samwilson, zazazoom and Jad joined the channel
#
samwilson I added a map to my website: https://samwilson.id.au/map
#
jeremycherfas Nice. Are the red dots places where you've been?
#
samwilson yep. I'll make them clickable at some point. :)
#
samwilson they're post/photo locations
kensp joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas Very cool.

[tantek] snarfed, FB just suggested that I friend your cat
#
alex11 lol
#
alex11 well then friend the cat!
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] ugh sorry that cat acct is purely for testing bridgy
#
[snarfed] as you’ll see
#
[snarfed] i mean i even put a unicode char in his name. who else in their right mind would name a cat Snoøpy anyway
#
[snarfed] [schmarty] (and anyone else), Firefox version of the Bridgy browser extension for Facebook is ready: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bridgy/
#
[snarfed] …and the Chrome version should be reviewed and ready any hour/day now

#
[tantek] snarfed++ nice! Installed!
#
Loqi snarfed has 27 karma in this channel over the last year (56 in all channels)
#
[tantek] even if you're not using FB/IG, I encourage installing snarfed's FF add-on above as it will help test it and let's just say that folks definitely look at various extension download/install numbers / rates

alex11 interesting extension

#
btrem IIUC, `u-repost-of` is for putting something on your site and on a silo like Twitter. And not for publishing an article on a GitHub site and on one's own site. Is that right?
#
[tantek] what is a repost
#
Loqi A repost on the indieweb is a post that is purely a 100% re-publication of another post. The act of reposting is an umbrella term that covers the general practice of republishing another post typically on the same service or silo, but more and more across sites https://indieweb.org/repost
#
[tantek] ^ that's what it's for. It has nothing to do with POSSE per se ("putting something on your site and on a silo")
#
[tantek] though I can see how that could be confused

#
[tantek] btrem, for markup questions I'll answer in #indieweb-dev
#
Loqi friendly reminder btrem [tantek], it looks like this conversation is getting pretty technical, can you take it to #indieweb-dev?
#
[tantek] haha maybe if I'm already mentioning #indieweb-dev there's no need to ping? 😉
#
btrem Well, it's not really a coding question. (I have some, but not for here.) But sure, I can go wherever.
[chrisaldrich] joined the channel; vivus left the channel
#
[tantek] class names count as a coding question! 🙂
#
btrem This is not a coding question, which class name do I use, it's what is webmention for? But I've moved per your suggestion.
#
[tantek] ah got it you were using the class name as shorthand to refer to the higher level concept. I understand. thanks for clarifying 🙂
btrem joined the channel
#
btrem Right. My bad for using `u-repost-of` instead of webmention vs. microformat.
#
[tantek] well really, u-repost-of instead of just "repost"
#
[tantek] that's the user level action, whereas the rest is plumbing
