[tantek] I am seeing broken front-end behavior on Twitter, e.g. big "not logged in banner at the bottom", and yet, when I view a profile it shows me followed state (both ways)

[tantek] Twitter << Outage 2022-12-28: SFGate: [https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/twitter-website-down-elon-musk-17682225.php Twitter’s website is glitching out around the world] <blockquote>The website version of San Francisco social media site Twitter is seemingly down for users around the world as of Wednesday evening. … users receive an error message: "Something went wrong, but don’t fret — it’s not your fault. Let’s try
#
[tantek] again."<br/>…<br/>Twitter no longer has a communications department.</blockquote>

Loqi ok, I added "Outage 2022-12-28: SFGate: [https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/twitter-website-down-elon-musk-17682225.php Twitter’s website is glitching out around the world] <blockquote>The website version of San Francisco social media site Twitter is seemingly down for users around the world as of Wednesday evening. … users receive an error message: "Something went wrong, but don’t fret — it’s not your fault.

[snarfed]2 [tantek] https://app.pressnt.net/post/4/
#
[tantek] If there’s only one post then why is it /4? 🤔
#
sknebel Not shown: "First post!" "Test post!" "Does it work now?" ;)
#
gRegor haha. multiple users https://app.pressnt.net/
#
[tantek] gRegor, it it’s for multiuser, shouldn’t that permalonk be /4/post then?
#
aaronpk permalonk 😂😂
#
gRegor It's probable
#
[tantek] The little known cousin of stonk
#
gRegor hahah
#
[tantek] Also if they created the site, who are users 1-3?
#
barnaby not seen “what if instant messenger statuses but they were medium articles” before
#
barnaby I don’t really see the appeal, but it’s fun to see weird stuff like this pop up
bterry, Seirdy0 and gxt joined the channel
#
gRegor I saw Instagram has statuses now, though I think it's only available if you post stories
#
[KevinMarks] Zuckerberg is user 3 on Facebook
#
[KevinMarks] Jack is 12 on twitter
#
[tantek] IG's status feature has nothing to do with stories AFAIK, it is a subfeature of their DMs/chat feature
#
[tantek] gRegor ^
#
gRegor Huh, haven't found the UI to change it then
#
[tantek] top right messages icon, see the row of icons of people on top of list of messages, tap on the left-most icon which should be yours, enter a status and tap share
#
[tantek] barnaby, man many years ago at IWS a bunch of us, myself, aaronpk, a few others, joked about a minimal (demo) Micropub client that literally allowed you one of everything. one post, one like, one following
#
gRegor what is Monogram?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Monogram" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Monogram is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
barnaby ah, I see
#
[tantek] I believe we called it "Monogram" at the time, and somewhere in chat archives / notes it's been brought up several times
#
[tantek] yep, gRegor remembers 🙂
#
gRegor I think of it every six months or so haha
#
[tantek] we would also use it to demonstrate incremental user and developer adoption of IndieWeb features / building blocks
#
gRegor Thanks, [tantek], good to know I can use the IG status/notes thing
#
[tantek] e.g. Monogram would have an IndieAuth login like the wiki, but you could regardless post one thing or like one post and it would track that in your view
#
[tantek] as a web-based service
#
[KevinMarks] I remember a variant where it stores the post by hash, and if you repeat one it counts as a repost.
#
[tantek] also demonstrate working with a domain that had IndieAuth but no Micropub server support
#
Loqi friendly reminder [tantek], we try to keep jargon (Micropub) out of this channel to make it more inviting to newcomers, can you move this to #indieweb-dev?
