benpate[m] Apparently I cannot type to save my life. 💯 I’m FOR “humbler and more sustainable.”

#
[snarfed] in preparation for https://twitter-atom.appspot.com/ 's API access getting shut off, I looked into recreating it in IFTTT and Zapier. IFTTT can't do it, but good news, Zapier can! and it looks like they pay for enterprise API access so they'll keep running. https://zapier.com/blog/twitter-rss-feed/
#
[snarfed] the bad news is, its UX is notably worse than granary/twitter-atom's. no media, no auto-linking, no expanded URL entities (ie links are all t.co). sigh
#
Loqi friendly reminder [snarfed], we try to keep dev talk (API, ATOM, RSS) out of this channel, can you move to #indieweb-dev?
#
[snarfed] maybe

#
[tantek] this is for reading Twitter?
#
[snarfed] in a reader, yes
#
[snarfed] sadly neither Zapier nor IFTTT can do any backfeed, they don't have triggers for when people like, retweet, or reply to you on Twitter
#
[snarfed] (so much for https://snarfed.org/backfeed-without-code )
#
[tantek] indeed. I'm thinking of turning off replies on my POSSE tweets
#
[tantek] they've been nearly useless, ironically until one this morning

#
[manton] Related to Substack Notes and the IndieWeb, posted this today… I think Substack has missed the mark on how this is all integrated. https://www.manton.org/2023/04/12/substack-notes-is.html
#
Loqi [preview] [Manton Reece] Substack Notes is interesting but they seem to have forgotten a valuable part of the rest of Substack: content ownership and portability. Your newsletter/blog can be at your own domain name, but “notes” are just another silo on someone else’s p...
#
[manton] Of course, it’s very early so we’ll see how it evolves.

capjamesg HWC starts in 5 mins: https://events.indieweb.org/2023/04/homebrew-website-club-europe-london-h1pgObV5Um0o
#
[tantek] aaronpk, pretty sure that was last week?
#
[tantek] what is silo quits
#
Loqi silo quits are public statements by individuals announcing they have quit posting on or using various silos with no intention to return. Sometimes people take a temporary break, AKA "social media break" or soft quit https://indieweb.org/silo-quits
#
aaronpk the tweet is from a couple hours ago, they just made the decision yesterday
#
aaronpk the reason for the quit was brewing since last week
#
[tantek] no there was an NPR tweet about this last week
#
[tantek] let me find it
#
aaronpk the main @NPR account hasn't tweeted since Apr 4
#
aaronpk except for the new "find us elsewhere" thread
#
aaronpk which is also a good example of /elsewhere
#
[tantek] ah it was a quiet quit as of April 4, semi-explicit in their profile description which was noticed here as of April 6: https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1644114036185874433
#
@brianstelter NPR hasn't tweeted since Musk's unjust labeling decision, and its bio now directs visitors elsewhere: "You can find us every other place you read the news." https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FtERAJ5XsAgn9I2.jpg (twitter.com/_/status/1644114036185874433)
#
aaronpk yep
#
[tantek] interesting, Twitter did change the label since then from "US state-affiliated" to "Government funded"
#
[tantek] BBC is "Publicly funded": https://twitter.com/BBC
#
[tantek] is labeled*

sknebel -> -chat? Twitter drama of the day doesnt exactly feel on-topic
#
aaronpk funding sources seems off topic, but silo quit is certainly relevant :)
#
[tantek] silo-quits / criticism are reasonably on-topic (helps with /why ) though I agree in spirit sknebel, better to focus chats here on our own productive efforts 🙂
#
sknebel I feel like it really has stopped having any significant new variations. API changes, ok, sure, I get how thats somewhat relevant for personal websites. Musk picking a fight with yet another organization is not, and mostly tiring to read about *everywhere*
#
[tantek] agreed sknebel, it is tiring and can be a distraction from making stuff that matters
