#

#

#
jacky sounds like something from Captain America: Civil War right when they were about to fight in the airport
#

raghavgururajan jeremycherfas: Oops! My comment hasn't appeared yet (awaiting moderation). I recommended IndieWeb to the OP, to decouple themselves from Corporate Web.
#
jeremycherfas Ah. That explains it.

#
[girrodocus] Hi all. I'm new to all of this (indieweb, web development, servers, etc etc), except for a few months of Python experience which might not be particularly relevant.
#
[girrodocus] Where I'd ultimately like to get to would be:
#
[girrodocus] 1. domain name points to my personal site
#
[girrodocus] I have a domain name and I have a few ideas for where I'd like to get to as my knowledge develops. But right now I'm stuck knowing what to do next. I don't have any hosting, however a friend has suggested I try signing up for a VPS. I've had a quick look on the Yunohost, Cloudron, and Contabo sites but I don't really know what I'm looking at. Could anyone suggest a way forward for me?
#
[girrodocus] I'm particularly keen to avoid any security trouble as I don't have any sysadmin experience. I'm very open to learning, but it will have to be beginner-friendly.
#
Loqi hey [girrodocus]: we try to keep dev talk out of this channel, can you move to #indieweb-dev?
#
[girrodocus] 2. personal site is some kind of blog/wiki hybrid in the mode of a 'digital garden' (birdirectional links, etc)
#
[girrodocus] 3. site is fairly easy to update (including from iphone)
#
[girrodocus] 4. in time, greater integration with indieweb using various plugins, libraries etc.
#
[girrodocus] Inspriration:

#

#

#
[girrodocus] I'm sorry - yes I will post there. Thank you for telling me.

@alexvoica To give people more control and choice over their data, today we're announcing that Facebook posts and notes can be directly transferred to @GoogleDocs, @Blogger and @WordPress via our Transfer Your Information tool: https://about.fb.com/news/2021/04/transfer-your-facebook-posts-and-notes-with-our-expanded-data-portability-tool/ https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EzVaGaYUcAEl0kC.jpg (twitter.com/_/status/1384115217978646535)
#
aaronpk only wordpress.com :(
#
[schmarty] "Data Portability*******"
#
[KevinMarks] I think blogger has reasonable export
bneil joined the channel
#
[tantek] as presumably does Wordpress.com right?
#
[tantek] looks like a step toward multi-step progress
[chrisaldrich] joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich] WordPress.com has had some pretty good export, and other content management services use that to their benefit to do import into their platforms.
#
[chrisaldrich] Some here may find this conference at the end of the week interesting: https://ide.mit.edu/events/the-social-media-summit-mit-smsmit/

#
[chrisaldrich] I just got my first nudge on Twitter to sign up for their newletter service Revue at https://www.getrevue.co/?utm_source=twitter-threads&utm_campaign=announcement-callout&utm_content=learn-more. For some fun context, it popped up when I pressed the "+" button to create a Twitter thread. https://boffosocko.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/twitter-wordsmiths.png
#
[chrisaldrich] So apparently if you're going to bother to write more than 280 characters you definitely need a newsletter...
#
[tantek] I thought that was called a tweetstorm
#
[chrisaldrich] Is just two threaded tweets a storm? I thought two was a Twitter depression, three a strong breeze, four a gale, and five or more a tweetstorm? šŸŒ¬ ā˜ šŸŒ§ :lightning_cloud: šŸŒ€
#
KartikPrabhu by that count, some people do a twittericane!
#
sknebel is there a word for a long thread that gets exended over a long time? "storm" doesnt quite fit it if it takes weeks to build up
#
KartikPrabhu glacier or iceage?
#
[chrisaldrich] I love that their pop up ad says "Hello wordsmiths."
#
[tantek] Wordsmith sounds like a new blogging platform tbh
#
[tantek] for folks who consider themselves more crafts people than mass publishers (WordPress)
#
[tantek] submits "Twitnado" as another Twitter weather related posting term
#
[chrisaldrich] What is Posterous?
#
Loqi Posterous.com was a blogging silo that shut down 2013-04-30 https://indieweb.org/Posterous
#
[chrisaldrich] thinks that Twitnado is pre-Posterous.
#
[schmarty] I thought "a depression" was the collective noun for Twitter users.

#
[jgmac1106] I am once again in LinkedIn Jail which I can best describe as having reach throttled and all your notifications turned off. I think it was for once again calling people racist. No anti-racism efforts allowed on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-6789733811648253952-Cmtn
#
[jgmac1106] this was the offensive post: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6789733811648253952?commentUrn=u[ā€¦]3A%28activity%3A6789733811648253952%2C6789842185559826432%29
#
[tantek] [schmarty] and here I thought the Twitter collective noun was "mob"
#
[tantek] [chrisaldrich] don't think I didn't see your preposterous puntempt
#
[chrisaldrich] I'm surprised that Twitter doesn't bring Posterous back as a middle ground before they start pressing the pedal on Revue. Why not own the whole distribution stream?
#
[schmarty] tantek: a mob of Twitter posters. a depression of Twitter readers.
#
[tantek] oof that hits accurately
#
[chrisaldrich] Not related: Maybe we need a posting service that does single letters or maybe just a word at a time? There's definitely prior art in other media: https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/A

#
[chrisaldrich] What are collective nouns for social media platforms?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "collective nouns for social media platforms" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "collective nouns for social media platforms is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[jgmac1106] there are enough Twitter readers left top be called a mob?
#
[tantek] soapbox
#
[tantek] [jgmac1106] unfortunately yes, plenty enough left to stalk & harass folks, especially women & non-het & non-white folks.
#
[jgmac1106] this was my bullying post on LinkedIn that got me booted: https://twitter.com/jgmac1106/status/1384221439767633922
#
@jgmac1106 What @LinkedIn calls bullying behavior. No doing anti-racist work on LinkedIn. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EzW93U7VoAE4RtH.png (twitter.com/_/status/1384221439767633922)
#
[jgmac1106] i false hate false equivalency so much...racism isn't the other side...it is racism..okay rant over
jamietanna joined the channel
#
[tantek] wow that's worth documenting on /LinkedIn#Criticism
#
[tantek] or even a blog post [jgmac1106], noting what LinkedIn is blocking anti-racist work
#
[tantek] noting that*
#
[jgmac1106] it's the second the first time was me mentioning hova jigawatt which is even crazier. Basically you can't write Jay-Z on LinkedIn
#
[jgmac1106] I will write up a post on Thursday

[tantek] [jgmac1106]++ thanks for publicly documenting your experience on this

#
[jgmac1106] ooh I have been so inactive since COVID hit
#
[jgmac1106] down to 28 karma pts, time to get contributing again
