[tantek] in Australia, you're liable for comments made (and presumably shown) on your posts (at least on Facebook). a whole new wrinkle in the "what from received webmentions should I show or not?" question https://gizmodo.com/facebook-users-liable-for-all-comments-under-their-post-1847633797

Ruxton [tantek]: yeah its crazy over here with that..
#
Ruxton group admins on FB have been legally held liable for peoples posts
#
Ruxton it blew up hard in a group I was in the other week, when a story about someone in the community being accused of sexual abuse rose up
#
Ruxton the moderating on the discussion was heavy and imo affected the discussion and outcomes because too many people were scared of defamation law suits

capjamesg[d] tantek++ for his excellent feedback.

#
capjamesg[d] Regarding de-duping, I have just cleaned up what should be all duplicates. Those duplicates were left over from a previous crawl, before I added in better duplication checking. Feel free to try again 🙂 There are ten unique results for your query now.
#
capjamesg[d] What did you mean re: "site" and "post" results? Can you elaborate a bit more? I could add some feature that let you search for unique sites and blog posts.
#
capjamesg[d] [KevinMarks] "you could maybe make better SERPS to show post types" What would you recommend?
#
capjamesg[d] Adding a badge that said "Recipe" or "Home" or "Blog post" or "Review" based on markup?

[KevinMarks] Showing a richer information card depending on the post type - photo, review, recipe ingredients etc

#
jeremycherfas !tell petermolnar That is very interesting, especially the whole question of embedding versus downloading a copy and hosting it yourself (if you can).
#
Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

#
[KevinMarks] all the actual social data and content is at URLs https://spec.dsnp.org/Announcements/Types/Profile https://spec.dsnp.org/ActivityContent/Overview the rest is a way to post hashes of them to a blockchain to add cost and overhead for no apparent benefit.

#
capjamesg[d] tantek Can you elaborate on what you would expect from the "Mozilla" query?
#
capjamesg[d] The question I have faced a lot is how to extract meaningful information from a limited dataset.
#
capjamesg[d] Our wiki page on Mozilla is not very comprehensive. I could tap into that page for a basic definition but that's probably not the best idea because someone who sees a link to a resource at the top of a page would likely expect that resource to be authoritative and comprehensive.
#
capjamesg[d] I could technically integrate Wikipedia I suppose. But then Wikipedia would likely rank very well for a lot of terms, thus displacing some personal sites that might have relevant content.
#
capjamesg[d] I don't have any "right" answers haha 😄
