Loqi [cleverdevil] has 2 karma in this channel over the last year (4 in all channels)
#
jacky yeah, I think it's something that depends on how one sources content
#
jacky YouTube used to be a bedrock for me but it's not worth it (I do the whole RSS thing and donate via other channels they have b/c Google)

#
Ruxton anyone know of any self-hosted alternatives to something like github releases (I want easy project pages with history of project binaries+storing said binaries)

Loqi ok, I added "overtagging as denial of service https://www.vox.com/culture/22299017/sexy-times-with-wangxian-ao3-archive-of-our-own-tagging-censorship-abuse" to the "See Also" section of /tags https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=74748&oldid=73921

aaronpk So um, over the last few days i keep getting notices from Instagram that they think my account is suspicious and I've had to jump thru various hoops to get access back
#
aaronpk https://i.imgur.com/92nuaaM.png
#
aaronpk today it escalated and now they are going to do a manual review within 24 hours
#
aaronpk I'm wondering if somehow this is related to bridgy running on my computer

#
[snarfed] aaronpk ugh, that’s very possible, and worrying
#
aaronpk also possibly significant is that I use chrome on like 3-4 computers which means the extension might be running a lot more often and from different locations
#
[snarfed] oh true. does chrome auto sync and install extensions on all instances you’re signed into like that?
#
aaronpk yep
#
[snarfed] wow ok
#
[snarfed] that combination is probably it then
#
[snarfed] wonder what i can do about that
#
[snarfed] i’ll maybe see if i can detect it somehow
#
aaronpk I guess I should turn it off while my account is under review
#
[snarfed] yeah probably
#
[snarfed] won’t really tell us anything conclusively, but probably safest for your account

#
[scojjac] What do you all think about how to share someone else's post from Instagram? I thought about using an embed, but I don't really want to embed Facebook trackers on my site. So I'm thinking about posting a jpg with attribution instead.
#
[scojjac] Ah better ... I found the person's actual website where they've posted the same photo

#
[Ana_Rodrigues] I feel a bit weird about sharing someone’s instagram post without the embed. Probably because it is images and I don’t fully understand copyright/sharing rules. When it is tweets, I usually do a full screenshot of the tweet and link to the original tweet.

[tantek] i'm ok with whatsapp being doomed fwiw. anything that requires phone number as identifier can diaf
#
[tantek] what is repost
#
Loqi A repost on the indieweb is a post that is purely a 100% re-publication of another (typically someone else’s) 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, and sometimes across sites https://indieweb.org/repost
#
batkin[m] Google refused to let me use my phone # to confirm my YT acct for streaming today. Says only 2 a year
#
batkin[m] And then when i used a phone # said i had to wait 24 hours
#
[tantek] [Ana_Rodrigues] [scojjac] those kinds of questions, concerns, and current practices would be great to add to new subsections on https://indieweb.org/repost#Brainstorming — even just copy/pasting what you wrote above. it doesn't have to be a well-formed/precise thought (that's what brainstorming is for!)
#
[tantek] batkin[m], better to never associate a phone # with any (social media) account. opens up too many hazards.
#
[tantek] reposting is still not very well understood, nor is there a solid "convention" or guideline for how to do it "well", especially across sites
#
[tantek] those kinds of user / intention concerns are particularly important to capture!

[scojjac] Thanks for the suggestion [tantek]
