c​apjamesg I have been on the edge about saving more.
#
Loqi [preview] [ingve] A note to young folks: download the things you love
#
c​apjamesg I found an anime series that is now only available on the Internet Archive in the UK.
#
c​apjamesg It is pretty old.
#
c​apjamesg And k a really thankful that the person chose to archive it.
#
c​apjamesg *I am

tyil don't depend on greedy companies to keep things around for you, this isn't news to many I hope
#
tyil same will go for discord given a few years, it'll decay and you'll lose access to all the things you uploaded or otherwise shared there

Loqi [indienews] New post: "My Kind of Weather" https://www.jeremycherfas.net/blog/my-kind-of-weather
#
s​isoma TIL: Micropub is a thing. Gotta add it to my todo list now 😅
#
s​isoma Not sure if this is the right room/channel for this question, but if I want to use a micropub client to publish an article. What format would I be expected to write the content in, markdown, html, mdx, etc? Would that be up to the server to handle different types of formats?
#
Loqi friendly reminder IWDiscord, it seems like this conversation is more appropriate for #indieweb-dev (Micropub)

#
[snarfed] (#indieweb-dev is a good place for follow-ups)
#
[snarfed] Argh sorry, I see you're already discussing there

#
[tantek] capjamesg, if you mean saving more things that you bookmark/like, I believe we have a page about that
#
[tantek] what is a local archive
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "local archive" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "local archive is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[tantek] huh I thought we did
[KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
[tantek] local archive is /archival_copy#Local_archives
#
Loqi ok
#
[tantek] close enough for now
#
[tantek] capjamesg, feel free to expand https://indieweb.org/archival_copy#Local_archives

aaronpk "It’s time to move beyond the flawed idea of a global conversation platform."
#
aaronpk this is what i've been saying
#
aaronpk i've also noticed my own behavior changing pretty dramatically in the last few months, posting a lot more in private/contextual spaces like indieweb chat and other community slacks/discords rather than sharing stuff on my own site
#
aaronpk concrete example from last week: instead of posting a photo from the event I was at on my website, I posted it in the "pictures" channel in the event slack
#
aaronpk and now i am sad that I am missing those photos on my website when I go look back at it
#
aaronpk so clearly I need to at least prioritize making it easy to make private posts on my site for only me to see. later I can figure out how to make them audience-restricted
#
[tantek] private or audience-only posts
#
[tantek] true, you can make them private for now on your own site, and note somewhere in the POSSE / u-syndication link to elsewhere that it's an audience-restricted destination
#
[tantek] I think that's an area worthy of some experimentation (with posting patterns) to see how it "feels" to you
#
[tantek] like does it remove that feeling of "sad that I am missing those photos on my website" ?
#
[tantek] because that sounds like enough incentive to make that work
#
aaronpk yeah, it seems like an easy enough first step to experiment
#
[KevinMarks] There's a lot of blah in that new yorker piece. Twitter's strength was always the semi-overlapping publics, and the excessive bleed through broke that. Later twitter effectively recreated smaller publics in the "for you" feed by clustering users so they saw a more homophilic flow.
#
[tantek] I have never had a "for you" tab because I stopped updating the iOS native app upon acquisition
#
[tantek] I see it in the web view so rarely because I don't really visit the home page

Loqi [preview] [henry ✷] the coolness of the url is inversely proportional to the coolness of the web project. the best website you'll ever find is gonna be something like libra.v2.progrecali.​edu/oct2023/dept/manifesto.html, but going to etherzone​.ooo or, say, x.​com...
#
[KevinMarks] Search "San Francisco" on twitter

[tantek] it shows a narrow but not inaccurate view 😞
