kepler hi, i have a question. is there any information about the indieweb irc bridge bot? it's incredibly well made and i don't know if it's using some other platform or if someone built it themself and i was hoping to learn more :o

[snarfed] hey aaronpk I'm still curious about the delete buttons I'm seeing on indienews. I don't see them in an incognito window. am I logged in somehow? I'm not seeing a login form or logout button 😆

aaronpk yeah it's on indieweb.org so it shares login with the wiki

[Murray] @kepler rapidly bordering #indieweb-dev territory, so any follow-up there, but there's plenty of information on the /discuss (https://indieweb.org/discuss) page on the Wiki. Specific code is spread out, but check out https://github.com/aaronpk/Slack-IRC-Gateway and https://github.com/indieweb/chat.indieweb.org

[artlung]1 > _"I must once again emphasize that if you are putting art on the internet, you need your own website in case some fucking management ghoul decides the platform they paid too much money for isn't worth how much they paid for it"_ https://bsky.app/profile/ass.golf/post/3mw47arxyys2u (from a profile with the nsfw domain "ass.golf" about a headline which reads: "Kakao Entertainment to shut down Tapas, the North American webtoon platform it
#
[artlung]1 invested $8.4 billion in"
#
[artlung] (I've never heard of either Kakao or Tapas, but there it is another silo death)

[tantek] Still up according to Wikipedia (no sign of the shut down) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapas_(website)

#
[artlung] but that recognition among people that "own your website and put your own stuff on it is the only way to make sure it stays up" is the PUREST indieweb spirit. it's indieweb without needing to say any magic shibboleths that you are indieweb.

#
[artlung] "indieweb" is the name we give to the truth that unless you own and control it, you can't guarantee anyone will see it or you even have a copy.
#
[artlung] I have visitors in town but I might have a blog post in me on this.

#
[tantek] Yeah "shutters" sounds bad
#
[tantek] There's a blog post here for sure, why "indie comics" on a platform are not indieweb. Own your domain or wait for your content platform to sell you out (or censor you)
