[Jacob_Hall] Just added a bunch of thoughts to the whostyle wiki page. We had some productive discussion at Create Day that I tried to capture. https://indieweb.org/whostyle

sknebel will read later in detail. various silos that offer(ed) CSS customization could be interesting to look at for the security concerns/how they filter

#
[tantek] kinda wondering where to put this article, whether it is the vulnerability of a phone number, or harassment over social media handles or ... ? https://abc7news.com/harassment-over-social-media-handle-cyber-stalking-ginger-instagram-netflix-exec-threat/12096937/
#
[tantek] ^ [fluffy] can perhaps relate

#
[fluffy] The most attention I ever got on Twitter was when Gabriel Iglesias told everyone I was a non-fan who hated him in an attempt to convince me to give him my Twitter username
#
[fluffy] And this also reminds me of when I got doxed on kuro5hin and the harasser(s) did things like ordering a bunch of religious materials and sending proselytizers to my house
#
[fluffy] (all part of the fun of being visibly/outspokenly trans on the early-2000s Internet)
#
[tantek] Do we document any "good practices" about written blog posts like citing your sources etc.? I feel like that's something we could (should?) do, say in contrast to news media practices, e.g. this thread: https://twitter.com/erikphoel/status/1554843582254780419
#
@erikphoel 1/ Media outlets are criticized all the time for their politics, but not enough for their practices. Yet their terrible practices cultivate a false authority and disempower readers, even lie to them. Here are a few https://erikhoel.substack.com/p/how-prestige-outlets-like-the-guardian (twitter.com/_/status/1554843582254780419)

[tantek] Another odd practice that I feel is more annoying than useful: encoding a link in a tweet as also a massive QR code embedded photo: https://twitter.com/SF_emergency/status/1554910246694371328

[tantek] Does / has anyone do this? Should we recommend against it?
#
sknebel never seen that before. weird

#
[aciccarello] I saw a website this week where someone had an graphic that included a QR code
#
sknebel do they have giant screens somewhere where those tweets scroll past? ;)
#
[aciccarello] Felt strange. I assume, it was some promotional print content they decided to also post to the website.
#
[aciccarello] I haven't seen that on twitter though
#
[aciccarello] I wonder if it's to capture the "I only read twitter via Instagram" crowd
#
[aciccarello] Feels ugly though

IWDiscordGateway <capjamesg> I have QR codes on my map pages.
#
IWDiscordGateway <capjamesg> But not as a substitute for content.

#
[aciccarello] I have a QR code on my links page so I can share with someone via mobile if in-person
#
[aciccarello] https://www.ciccarello.me/links/
#
[aciccarello] I also did that on my /pay page for the same reason. If trying to sell something in person, someone can click the link to their preferred payment tool
#
[aciccarello] 🤔 I should add a progressive enhancement to use a dynamically generatedQR code if I add the amount.
#
[aciccarello] I could even add a form to generate that URL 💡

IWDiscordGateway <capjamesg> I also have a QR page.

IWDiscordGateway <capjamesg> I plan to use it at conferences so people can scan to get to my website.
