Loqi [preview] [mx alex tax1a - 2020 (3)] the screenshot of the ceo of #bluesky #blueskysocial saying "we didn't do blocks because they're hard" is a straight-up admission to not being serious about solving the nazi problem. sorry, you cannot recover from this by ONCE MORE AND YET AGAIN FOR ... https://media.infosec.exchange/infosecmediaeu/media_attachments/files/110/278/289/152/046/487/original/4bafc0fd30c222fe.png

Seirdy_ everyone told them that shipping in any capacity without basic safety features was worse than shipping nothing. I guess that the privileged ones calling the shots with no experience of being targeted like this thought they knew better.
#
Seirdy_ and then only when there was a big outcry did they finally apologize and say "blocking is hard".
#
Seirdy_ that plus the fact that they get a license to use everything you post as they see fit (probably LLMs and whatnot), and this is clearly just...bad. I don't think it's worth giving it any good publicity at this point.
#
Seirdy_ Giving positive attention to a company that clearly doesn't care enough about keeping its users safe is only going to get people hurt.
#
Seirdy_ Success is not something a new social media platform deserves by default; it's a privilege contingent on taking the appropriate amount of responsibility for the power it holds.
#
[tantek] I think this demonstrates the problem with prioritizing a bunch of brand new technical plumbing for marginal benefit (DIDs for total identity ownership!) over human social safety (blocking as a UI feature from day 1).
#
[tantek] for more on that -> #indieweb-dev before Loqi warns
#
[tantek] on a different subject, I really need to get a venue markup & page design figured out, and start syndicating to HappyCow because they have many fewer listings in my area than I know there are vegan/veggie (friendly) places

ludovicchabant hey here, I'm using mf2py to parse my website, and I see that if I write an `alt` description for an image, it gets included in the post's `name`
#
ludovicchabant I assume it's because of the mf2 rules, and not a bug: http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2-parsing#parsing_a_p-_property
#
Loqi hey ludovicchabant, would you mind moving this conversation (parse, mf2, Microformats) to #indieweb-dev? thanks!
#
