# IWDiscordGateway <jacky> A simple one could be leaning on a back link from "reputable" domains (to the verifier)
# IWDiscordGateway <jacky> Like if you have some sort of bidirectional linking to one's Wikipedia page, or Indieweb profile that's queryable without auth (IIRC)
# IWDiscordGateway <jacky> Could be as simple as a rel-me back link on both pages
# IWDiscordGateway <jacky> At least to start, I know someone out there will see a need for additional cryptographical usage like verifying the signature of said vouch in either direction
# [tantek]1 depending on the notion of a "reputable" domain is both a restatement of the need for vouching in the first place, and sounds like it could/would be potentially centralized
# [tantek]1 heh re: "additional cryptographical usage", like a spice to mix in

# [KevinMarks]1 Should we pick an emoji to put in twitter name to link to our personal sites?
mro and petermolnar joined the channel
# [tantek]1 Are there other emoji that are used in Twitter names for something else?

# ash[m] Thanks Snarfed. I would have taken ages to discover that on my own

# [tantek]1 snarfed, lol yeah at some point we gave up namesmithing the AP verbs
# [KevinMarks]1 AS1 was a bit more focused, but AS2 we let Snell drive it more
# [KevinMarks]1 Pretty sure it was "share" in AS1

# cambridgeport90 What is IndieWeb CLI?
# 
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "IndieWeb CLI" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "IndieWeb CLI is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# cambridgeport90 I'm not going to have that page created yet... because I think that term belongs to somebody's project up here... (it was in the list of commitments for 2023), so I'll let creators explain.

# [timothy_chambe] “Blockchain protocols may be good for some things but they’re not good for Solid,” a web decentralization project led by Berners-Lee, he said. “They’re too slow too expensive and too public. Personal data stores have to be fast, cheap and private.” “Ignore the Web3 stuff, random Web3 that was built on blockchain,” he added. “We’re not using that for Solid.”
# [tantek]1 lol yes [timothy_chambe]++

# [tantek]1 handled the latter, I support IndieNewsing it

# ash[m] do we have a post on the wiki about mastodon's autodelete feature? I think it's fascinating because when I first started with Indieweb stuff part of the appeal was that it would stop things from disappearing, links being broken, etc. but then these days I'm quite happy to have deleted all my old posts and be starting fresh.
# [tantek]1 what is autodelete?
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "autodelete" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "autodelete is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# [tantek]1 what is ephemeral post
# Loqi Expiring content is content that is only temporarily (ephemerally) relevant, and also part of a larger post, that can and should be (preferably automatically) removed once a particular datetime has passed (the expiration date) https://indieweb.org/ephemeral_post
# [tantek]1 autodelete is /expiring_content
# [tantek]1 ash[m] is there a Mastodon page describing its autodelete feature?
# [tantek]1 who else has "Elsewhere" sections on their personal sites?
# [schmarty]1 does this box for rel=me's on my homepage count? http://mmg.re/
# [tantek]1 yes!
# [tantek]1 what is identity-elsewhere
# [tantek]1 what is identity-elsewhere
# Loqi IndieWeb sites typically have a section (often labeled “Elsewhere”) on their website (typically on their home page) that links to profile pages on social network silos and other forms of identity elsewhere https://indieweb.org/identity-elsewhere

# [tantek]1 I'm curious how others decide what profiles / things to point to in their "elsewhere" sections
# [tantek]1 considering splitting mine between "also follow on" and "elsewhere"
gRegor and n8chz joined the channel
# [tantek]1 just decided to rewrite mine with the addition of an at-at identity
# [tantek]1 I split them into "Follow" and "Elsewhere": https://tantek.com/#follow
# [tantek]1 snarfed, I put an idea up there, interested in feedback! visual, usability etc.
# [snarfed] oh no where to link them _to_. I guess any instance works, eg https://mastodon.social/@tantek.com@tantek.com
# 
barnaby huh https://mastodon.social/@tantek.com@tantek.com *does* just redirect back to tantek.com
# [tantek]1 barnaby, yes, for more on that, let's go to #indieweb-dev
