@mjg59
That means services that make this possible are more attractive, and federated systems need an answer to that argument.

aaronpk
what is block
#
Loqi
Block is a feature on many silos that provides the ability for one user to "block" or prevent interactions from another user https://indieweb.org/block
#
aaronpk
what is mute?
#
Loqi
mute is the ability to hide posts in your reader from specific publishers https://indieweb.org/mute
#
aaronpk
i was thinking a lot about these features over the weekend
#
tantek
they're very different
#
aaronpk
big difference for me is "muting" a user should give no indication to that user that they've been muted
#
tantek
muting is a local (private) pref basically
#
tantek
it must not give *any* indication to *anyone* other than the user that anything has changed
#
aaronpk
right, which has implications such as continuing to send them webmentions if you mention their name for some reason, and also continuing to send salmentions
#
tantek
no reason why you shouldn't keep sending those
#
tantek
that's separate
#
tantek
mute is a /reader feature
#
tantek
what implications are you thinking of?
#
aaronpk
i thought you were all gung ho on a reader being part of your website ;-)
#
tantek
a /reader is a feature of an indieweb site yes
#
aaronpk
with the line between reader and website blurred like that, i could see someone accidentally implementing a mute feature which also "mutes" in the outgoing direction
#
tantek
huh - I don't know of any site or service that does that though
#
aaronpk
right, which is why it's important to be specific that muting is a one-way thing
#
tantek
that's more like "silent" mode or something
#
tantek
self-muting :P
#
tantek
this is something that has always bothered me about "mute" on (speaker)phones
#
aaronpk
whereas with blocking, if i block someone, not only do I not want them to see things of mine, i also wouldn't want to send them any webmentions ever
#
tantek
vs "mute" on a TV remote
#
aaronpk
which means "block" is not just a reader feature
#
tantek
totally different function!
#
tantek
right, block is much more pervasive
#
tantek
Though twitter (still?) implements block like a reader feature. sigh.
#
tantek
hence the problem of blocked people's @-replies to your tweets still showing up when others look at your permalinks
#
tantek
but yeah, "mute" the TV vs. "mute" the phone. seriously bugs me.
#
aaronpk
yeah that is backwards on phones

interesting thread about federated vs social vs decentralized vs open: https://twitter.com/keithjgrant/status/848976354817314817
#
@keithjgrant
Federated social networks aren’t the answer. Fully open and decentralized standards are.

I'm thinking of writing a blog post series on the indieweb. Could probably benefit from some input from you folks who have been at it longer than I have
#
[keithjgrant]
... Hoping I summed things up well in that Twitter thread :)
#
[cleverdevil]
Please, do write the series.
#
[cleverdevil]
I am considering the same, to be cross-published on my site and DreamHost's blog.
#
[cleverdevil]
I want our customers to be empowered to participate in IndieWeb.
#
tantek
keithjgrant++ yes please do, and definitely feel free to ask for input / review / feedback here on drafts etc.!

hahah you were there! I did a BarCamp session on IndieWeb Checkins titled "Foursquare is down!" because it was at the time
#
Loqi
hahahaha
#
tantek
or I thought you were there
#
aaronpk
not according to the list of participants!
#
Loqi
[Tantek Çelik] Looks like there was an error connecting to #foursquare. Try developing an #indieweb solution instead. https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e15/11142193_1607824269465782_2096199419_n.jpg
#
tantek
well you liked that image at least
#
tantek
aaronpk note the first item in this list: https://indieweb.org/checkin#sessions
#
aaronpk
that's probably why it was in my browser history
#
tantek
is your browser prefetching links on a page?
#
aaronpk
i probably clicked it when i was researching checkins a couple weeks ago

oh nooooes indeed. June 23-25 is the Del Close Marathon in NYC, a huge improv festival. at least one troupe that I play in has already been accepted. :|
#
aaronpk
well that makes early june look like a better option
#
martymcguire[m]
i should make myself +0 because if IWS is that weekend i will most likely prioritize that over improv. don't tell my improv friends. ;}

@kevinmarks
@BrendanEich @ckhonson @brave If you're building things into the browser, how about webmention and micropub?

#
KartikPrabhu
should webmention and micropub be built into the browser1?
#
aaronpk
micropub surely
#
aaronpk
the browser would make a natural micropub client

spends 10 minutes doing object work pretending to look for his improv card to hand it over.
