[Al_Abut] I can see the appeal of automated cross-posting if you post a ton, like daily. I’m such a nerd about crafting each post to be unique to each platform though that I stick with manual copypasta instead.
#
[Al_Abut] Maybe a good motivator to post more often and make it hurt enough manually to make it worth automating 😂
#
gRegor I like the semi-manual approach. There were times I was doing that for most of my tweets and I think it made me more thoughtful about what I post. I think that's similar with my Mastodon usage now.
#
cophee that's an interesting point!
#
cophee I haven't really used decentralised social media that much–I don't really use social media at all too much these days d:
#
cophee but i might start again on something like pixelfed since insta was the only social media i used that much
#
[Al_Abut] I tried but PF kept having errors and losing stuff :/
#
[Al_Abut] I’ve been experimenting with boosting my Threads posts on Mastodon because I really like how Threads handles media, but even that depends on whether I’ve used a hashtag or not
#
gRegor A downside is I'm less conversational on Mastodon since it takes more work. I'm making baby steps, though. :)
#
[tantek] The only POSSE customizing I did was editing the start of my posts to get enough before the break into POSSE text tweets, and sometimes curating the first four photos of a multi photo post also for Twitter multi photo post
#
gRegor Though it is cool that I get mentions back on my site, so I saw when [Al_Abut] pinged me in a conversation with Reilly

#
[tantek] I think it's ok to not feel compelled to reply to every reply on Mastodon
#
[tantek] And certainly not feel compelled to reply to others top posts
#
[tantek] Once I stopped doing that on Twitter I realized it was actually more draining than rewarding
#
[tantek] It's one of the reasons I like "likes". It's a way to give someone a nod without feeling like you have to open up a whole convo
#
cophee [Al_Abut]: ahhh that sucks
#
cophee I agree with what [tantek] says, I feel like social media makes us feel obligated to do things that other people probably don't mind too much
#
cophee I think I feel less obligated to reply to replies compared to direct messages
#
[tantek] Exactly cophee

#
[capjamesg] Are there any IndieWeb events you wish existed that don't currently exist (i.e. pop ups on specific topics, series like Front End Study Hall)?

#
cophee ok i think i broke webmentions again on my site after moving it to cloudflare ):
#
cophee everything's brokennnn
#
sknebel @cophee quite possible, but you should be able to excempt your endpoint from the "bot detection" stuff (or turn that off globally)
#
sknebel ah nvm, has to be globally probably
#
sknebel because it will possibly also hit fetches to verify
#
sknebel also -> -dev for details

[byJP] Hey [Paul_Robert_Ll], did you ever get Sunlit working wit IndieKit? I saw https://github.com/microdotblog/sunlit/issues/124, and I’m having similar problems setting it up for http://www.byjp.me (Getting to my indiekit instance works great, I can get redirected back to sunlit too — but sunlit doesn’t seem to _do_ anything wit it). If you’re still having difficulty too I’ll revive the thread 🙂
#
capjamesg Cool website: https://www.jasperfforde.com/
#
capjamesg Another cool website: https://www.jeffbridges.com/
#
[byJP] ↩️ Very cool! And I love his books — though I’m still awaiting https://www.jasperfforde.com/grey/grey1.html book #2 😭
#
[byJP] ↩️ This is wonderful 😄 https://www.jasperfforde.com/upgrade/upgdsog.html

[Al_Abut] Nice find [capjamesg]. Never heard of Jasper Fforde but love his shoutout to HTML on his about page: https://www.jasperfforde.com/index2.html

#
[byJP] ↩️ That page is great! His books are excellent too — I thoroughly enjoyed Shades of Grey and the “Thursday Next” series (starting with “The Jane Eyre Affair”)

[Joe_Crawford] capjamesg: It was one of my favorite things at SD IndieWeb camp when I was expounding on handwritten sites and saying how impressed I was 20+ ago seeing Jeff Bridges' site -- I think it was [chrisaldrich] who told me it was already in the wiki https://indieweb.org/handwriting !

[Paul_Robert_Ll] [byJP] Not sure I ever got Indiekit working with Sunlit. It previously worked with the http://Micro.blog iOS app, but that has repeatedly, and is currently, broken. I looked into debugging the app and making a PR (against the http://Micro.blog app), but it involves wrestling several different tangled technologies and dependencies, given it’s an iOS app built with React Native. Super frustrating, tbh.
