petermolnar re slug: auto-generated slug is usually bad, but slug can be deliberately crafted, short, and relevant. I don't think it should be completely dismissed; for humans, if it's well done, remembering a relevent set of handful words is much simpler, than a date.
# 
doosboox what's a "slug"?
# doosboox jamietanna[m]: Your article was great! Thank you for that :)
# petermolnar what is slug?
# 
Loqi A slug is a series of words in a permalink URL, usually at the end, that are from or representative of the name or text of a post, and thus part of an overall URL design https://indieweb.org/slug

jamietanna[m] Yeah those `[...]`s are slack btw, noticed them at work for some time, and could be we don't have any way of working around it
# jamietanna[m] Thanks doosboox ☺

@bramcohen @jolieodell @AmyVernon It's extremely aggro about pulling contacts from wherever it can. All the top suggested matches for me were people who had me in their phone contacts, which is obviously a huge privacy leak. (twitter.com/_/status/1371626561816850432)
# 
@kevinmarks @AmyVernon @jolieodell it does the facebook/google buzz reverse addressbook stalking thing, so if they ever had your number… given that google got an FTC ruling for that you'd think they'd stop (twitter.com/_/status/1371600753798811649)

[chrisaldrich] Woot! Just heard that my proposal "A Twitter of Our Own" was accepted to be one of the few workshop slots at OER+Domains 2021 in April: https://oer21.oerconf.org/. I'll add it to the calendar, etc. shortly. Hopefully they'll announce their full schedule soon. Maybe we can add some more IndieWeb goodness to the /A_Domain_of_One's_Own space?
