[tantek] social media << https://twitter.com/plinz/status/1433262733080743942
#
Loqi ok, I added "https://twitter.com/plinz/status/1433262733080743942" to the "See Also" section of /social_media https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=76829&oldid=76741
#
[tantek] That might be one of the best summary criticisms of social media I have seen anywhere
#
npd[m] any indieweb folks following the bluesky project/discussion?
#
npd[m] I think there's some potential alignment with indieweb principles and actual implementations
#
npd[m] like it would be fun to write up an indieweb-style proposal/tool for the current "satellite" contest on connecting identities from different services
#
rattroupe[d] @npd yes, there’s been quite a bit of discussion here. You should be able to find it in the logs
#
npd[m] rattroupe[d]: thanks, I'll look! (connecting via the Matrix bridge I'm not getting much scrollback at all, but glad that indieweb keeps web-accessible logs)
#
npd[m] @snarfed, @KevinMarks et al., I would love to help out in writing up rel-me style links as a bluesky/satellite contest entry
#
npd[m] maybe I'm just not cynical enough ... but I think it's kind of lovely and potentially very useful to others to show how 18-(ish)-year-old protocols work to robustly address a current problem

#
[tantek] they don't care about / want simple boring existing solutions. they want complex solutions they can wave about being invented or sponsored via a contest
#
[tantek] and petermolnar already replied to them, and I believe snarfed is writing it up
#
[tantek] since it's a developer thing, consider collaborating in the #indieweb-dev channel1

capjamesg[d] 😆
#
capjamesg[d] Quick question about Microsub. How are subscriptions managed?
#
capjamesg[d] Ah, it's in the follow action. I understand now.

#
capjamesg[d] Anyone building a microsub server?

#
[snarfed] npd: thanks for the offer! here's my in progress satellite entry: https://snarfed.org/bluesky-satellite-contest-entry . feedback welcome!
#
mackeveli_ Hello all, I was wondering if this would be a good place to ask HTML and CSS questions, or should I throw those some other way?
#
mackeveli_ I'm crafting a personal site and I'm ignoring the wiki's advice to not spend forever styling my site up :P
#
npd[m] <[snarfed]> "npd: thanks for the offer! here..." <- this is great! thanks for taking the lead on this. and I think it's so great to do the drafting in public, because this approach really doesn't need secrecy and indeed benefits from the input of the people who are already using it
#
[tantek] mackeveli_ for HTML and CSS questions, the #indieweb-dev channel is better 🙂

voxpelli 👋 Hi channel
obabo, KartikPrabhu and jonnybarnes joined the channel
#
[tantek] yay voxpelli!
#
voxpelli Yay, notifications worked this time! Hi @[tantek]
#
[tantek] woohoo!
#
Loqi does a happy dance!
#
[KevinMarks] Nice personal site https://asuth.com/
#
[snarfed] capjamesg we have fewer community microsub servers than clients, but there's https://aperture.p3k.io/, https://wordpress.org/plugins/yarns-microsub-server/, and https://github.com/snarfed/baffle (only code now, service is down)
#
[tantek] recently saw "move slow and repair things" pop-up again and searched for at least the oldest tweet. found: https://twitter.com/JiminyPan/status/1023871260995055616

#
capjamesg[d] Hey voxpelli!
#
capjamesg[d] snarfed I'm thinking of building my own. But I need to read the spec a lot more.
#
capjamesg[d] snarfed Is your Instagram feed generator still in development? I saw the link on the granary homepage.
#
[snarfed] capjamesg yes! https://instagram-atom.appspot.com/
#
[snarfed] subject to frequent throttling/filtering on IG's end due to its scraping
#
Loqi [snarfed]: can you move the tech talk (ATOM, scraping) to #indieweb-dev to keep this channel more inclusive and inviting?
#
[snarfed] heh
#
capjamesg[d] 🤣
#
capjamesg[d] Excellent. Thank you!
#
capjamesg[d] I’ll need to take another look at it when I get a moment.
#
capjamesg[d] snarfed Does it include my own posts? I’m really looking for a solution to PESOS Instagram posts.
#
[snarfed] aha, like ownyourgram. that's the better path
#
[snarfed] how's aaronpk's browser extension coming along there?
#
capjamesg[d] Ah. I think I read that was closed for registration a few months ago.
#
capjamesg[d] Which is a shame because it’s the only network I use haha 😂
#
capjamesg[d] I suppose I could build something simple to just syndicate my posts. Might not be worth the trouble right now.
jonnybarnes joined the channel
#
[snarfed] if aaronpk is on board with the browser extension path. for ownyourgram, he'd probably accept PRs!
#
capjamesg[d] I’ve been meaning to contribute more to open source projects.
#
capjamesg[d] I suppose I could scrape the DOM for certain attributes, send them as a request to ownyourgram, then ownyourgram could handle the actual Micropub request to a site.
#
Loqi capjamesg[d]: we try to keep jargon (open source, Micropub) out of this channel to make it more inviting to newcomers, can you move this to #indieweb-dev?
#
capjamesg[d] Sorry Loqi. You are right.
