#
[jacky] lol so I see https://indieweb.org/snark when I'm looking at post types and I am kind of curious, how would one think of highlighting something like this? granted, if you _have_ to then something must have gone wrong in delivery
#
[tantek] jacky, I've seen folks end short text posts (sometimes email paragraphs) with "</sarcasm> — the start tag is implied"
#
[jacky] heh
#
[jacky] that's actually probably enough for me to make a filter

#
[tantek] ok I searched for the origin of </sarcasm> start tag is implied and...
#
[tantek] 🤦‍♂️

#
[tantek] snark << Brainstorming: format with an explicit in-content </sarcasm> closing tag, e.g. https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2003Jan/0292.html
#
Loqi ok, I added "Brainstorming: format with an explicit in-content </sarcasm> closing tag, e.g. https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2003Jan/0292.html" to the "See Also" section of /snark https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=76261&oldid=68496
#
[jacky] that's' actually amazing [tantek]
#
[jacky] WOW

#
[KevinMarks] Were you inventing animation-timing-function in your sarcasm there?
#
[tantek] I would answer that except it would be too much of a #indieweb-dev answer :)
#
[tantek] On a more user-centric note, I found this interesting: https://www.engadget.com/instagram-no-longer-a-photo-sharing-153127352.html

#
[Murray] On the one hand, I'm glad someone senior at Instagram is actually owning that sentiment. There recent changes have made it such a pain to upload images, that's why I finally started moving off the platform and onto my site 😄 Still, it's said for actual photographers; will be interesting to see what fills that void
#
[Murray] Unrelated, but this has a very _digital garden esque_ feel to it: https://readings.design/

#
[tantek] [Murray] re: what fills the void, Flickr still seems to be around and very photo-focused (with “new” owners smugmug)
cev and [Murray] joined the channel
#
[Murray] Yep, and I still reckong it's the best option. Unfortunately I've not seen any movement in that direction from most places; it's still mainly those that used it in the past, or those using it more for photo storage (as I do), than actually developing communities, like Instagram was.
#
[Murray] Right now, Twitter seems to be the most productive place, but it feels weird and is certainly not ideal 😄

#
[chrisaldrich] [Murray] I'm curious what makes the readings.design page feel so digital garden to you?
rockorager joined the channel
#
[Murray] I guess the curated feel of it, the easy filtering, the targeted nature. It follows a lot of the same information discovery patterns I associate with digital gardens, even if (I suppose) the content isn't really mutable enough (not sure that's the correct term)

#
[jacky] I'd put that it's also using one of those trendier typefaces nowadays lol

#
[tantek] Murray, curious what you got out of that RSS article
[Murray] joined the channel
#
[Murray] I thought it was well written and might be of interest to people here; I'm also a sucker for that kind of illustration style
#
[tantek] hah yes the illustration style was/is kinda adorable. agreed.

#
[tantek] the message feels a bit like hankering for the "good old days" which feels dismissive of the actual problems / dead-ends encountered with RSS, UX, interacting with each other.
#
[tantek] "RSS" (the experience) was/is pretty much read-only, one way from publishers to consumers and that model misses the fact that most people, most of us even, want to be more social with our online interactions (despite today's social media being more antisocial)
#
Loqi [tantek]: can you move the tech talk (RSS) to #indieweb-dev to keep this channel more inclusive and inviting?
#
[tantek] lolol done & done Loqi
