momuslim Hi everyone! My name is Mo and I recently stumbled upon IndieWeb while I was reading this article: https://manuelmoreale.com/ … I grew up spending a lot of time learning and meeting people on the internet and I’m very glad to discover this community!
#
momuslim I’m still working on my personal site and plan on releasing it soon, will definitely share it here when it’s up. Currently, I’m building a tool to recommend relevant content on the internet so that’s been taking a good amount of my time.

[tantek] Anyone use the EyeEm photo silo? Heads-up: https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/26/photo-sharing-community-eyeem-will-license-users-photos-to-train-ai-if-they-dont-delete-them/
#
[tantek] might even be worth writing up a silo page just to add the criticism to the dfn
#
[tantek] What is EyeEm
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "EyeEm" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "EyeEm is ____", a sentence describing the term)

[tantek] EyeEm is a [[photo]] hosting [[silo]] that unilaterally changed its [[terms of service]] in 2024 to license any photos users have contributed to train generative AI models, including by external companies. 2024-04-26 TechCrunch: [https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/26/photo-sharing-community-eyeem-will-license-users-photos-to-train-ai-if-they-dont-delete-them/ Photo-sharing community EyeEm will license users’ photos to train AI if they don’t dele

Loqi ok

[KevinMarks], gruetzhaxe and [schmarty] joined the channel
#
gruetzhaxe do the proponents of the 'posse' approach advocate one should dispense content via as many channels as possible?
#
[schmarty] gruetzhaxe the "Why" for the POSSE page has some thoughts on that https://indieweb.org/POSSE#Why
#
[schmarty] i'd summarize it as a focus on posting where your friends/family/etc are spending time. in that, "as many channels as possible" isn't a goal.
#
[tantek] this is precisely why the E in POSSE is for "Elsewhere", not "Everywhere"
#
[tantek] I need to write short blog post about that in particular, since it has sometimes (recently) been confused
#
gruetzhaxe I see; thank you!
#
gruetzhaxe looking forward [tantek]
stefen and [aciccarello] joined the channel
#
[aciccarello] I went to a local NWSL soccer game this weekend and was inspired to stub out a page for recommending all our region's local sports teams. It made me realize some more complexity with reviews but it's been an interesting problem to work on. https://www.ciccarello.me/reviews/san-diego/sports/

#
[snarfed] hi all! Bridgy Fed Bluesky status update, I've slowly started onboarding beta testers to bridge both web sites and fediverse accounts to/from Bluesky
#
[snarfed] Example bridged web site: https://bsky.app/profile/snarfed.org.web.brid.gy
#
[snarfed] other example bridged accounts on https://fed.brid.gy/web/bsky.brid.gy/followers and https://fed.brid.gy/web/ap.brid.gy/followers
#
[snarfed] let me know if you want me to turn it on for your web site. on the fediverse, you can enable it by following @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy, or on Bluesky by following https://bsky.app/profile/ap.brid.gy
#
[snarfed] Docs at https://fed.brid.gy/docs , roadmap and open issues at https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/381 . Still very early, lots of rough edges. For example, accounts bridged into Bluesky don't load on http://bsky.app on the first try, you have to click Try again. 😕 (bug in http://bsky.app itself, they're working on it)
#
[snarfed] Also, Bluesky currently depends on polling, so anything from there to the fediverse will take up to 5m, including the initial follow of the bot user
#
[snarfed] Please don't announce more widely, not ready for much attention just yet. Feel free to file issues for any problems you notice if there isn't already an open one!

Loqi [snarfed] has 33 karma in this channel over the last year (98 in all channels)
#
[aciccarello] I would sign up but I'm not on Bluesky currently so I don't think there'd be anyone to follow my account.

[snarfed] /publics 😎
#
[tantek] yes of course, though there are 1256 people in this channel on Slack alone, who knows how many in IRC or Discord 🙂

capjamesg 319 in Discord.

capjamesg *310

Auctus ~180 on irc
khimaros joined the channel
#
Auctus it strikes me as a little ironic that most of the discussion about open standards / indie web / owning your platform / not being beholden to corporate whims is mostly taking place on closed web-apps that aren't open standards and that you can be arbitrarily banned from, like slack and discord
#
Auctus for example i was auto-banned from discord because they didnt like my email address or phone number or number (required to sign up)
#
Auctus tech support would not help at all
#
Auctus the only way i was able to get on there to follow the development of an open source project (which was exclusively discussed on discord at that time)
#
Auctus was to file a bug report with the discord developers so someone in a technical position could see I was falsely flagged as a spambot
#
Auctus almost no one would think to do that, they'd just be stonewalled and never be able to get on discord since tech support wont help
#
Auctus (i.e. autoban at signup, never get to view anything, never get to finalize account creation if they flag you based on "heuristics")

#
gRegor Yeah, IRC is the "canonical" chat which we bridge other platforms into and archive from, so no requirement to use Slack or Discord
#
cophee [campegg]: Ah shoot, I can’t see messages there on Discord 😦
#
gRegor cophee, you can while you're joined to the channel. That channel is purposefully off the record so can't see past logs, https://indieweb.org/discuss#chat
