[Michael_Kupiet] There's a famous video in which a newscaster gets stung by a bee mid-take and immediately switches from standard news anchor diction to a stream of profanity-laden AAVE. I think that's how a lot of us folks who'd never encountered it learned about code switching. I think, to bring it back to websites, or at least online activity, it's an apt metaphor for what a lot of us do online. I misspopke earlier, I do have one social media account
#
[Michael_Kupiet] under my real name, which I use to promote my consulting, and if you were to read that side by side with my personal account on the same site you'd never know it was the same person, by design. In the account under my real name, I write in the tone I use to speak to clients on the phone, which people who've seen me do both have remarked is very different from how I normally speak. In fact I changed my name on LinkedIn because I got tired
#
[Michael_Kupiet] of "code switching" and wanted to be able to post in my authentic voice (which is pretty silly, considering it's linkedin.)

[Murray] Anyone been browsing Bubbles? https://bubbles.town/
#
[Murray] It seems like a fun idea, certainly relevant to discovery if it takes off. Definitely IndieWeb adjacent (I mean, the Wiki is directly linked from the About page, and the IndieWebRing is one of the key sources 😄)
#
[Murray] *Love* the strapline, too!

darius-it seems like a less specialized/on-topic version of hacker news or lobste.rs, pretty neat
#
darius-it (also i just read the about page and realized that's exactly the inspiration for this site lol)

[snarfed] (follow-ups in #indieweb-dev)
#
[capjamesg] I love that idea!
#
[KevinMarks] ↩️ I saw a version of it In London last month. It needs someone other than Dan to dev advocate it, but it's a powerful abstraction.
