[eddie]I think there are both. In most contexts (and in all contexts in my website) I use personal nicknames. Ash instead of Ashley for my wife, Mom and Dad for my parents, etc.
[eddie]But if I ever get my nickname cache to power my phone’s contacts, I do use some “private” nicknames there. Nothing crazy, but more in the traditional sense for “petname” and I often use emojis too
Loqiaaronpk: [tantek] left you a message 5 hours, 35 minutes ago: feel free to add your own (or others) criticisms to /petname and/or create a Criticism section and feel free to move mine there too. Even if you just braindump your own personal discomfort with it, I think it's good to capture since no one here since to actually like the term.

jeremycherfas!tell tantek, sknebel pet name is historically mainly a name people use for their loved ones. Nothing demeaning about it in that context. Maybe a UK/US divide.

jeremycherfasAnd none of the people for whom I have pet names are ever likely to be involved in any IndieWeb activities, so I personally have no interest other than the use of language.

[manton][snarfed] Do you have any experience with ActivityPub replies, specifically how Mastodon determines what to put in "Toots" vs. "Toots and replies"? I figured if there was an inReplyTo that Mastodon wouldn't show that in the "Toots" tab or the timeline if you're not following that person, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
[manton]I think I'm going to disable sending replies to Mastodon if no ActivityPub users are mentioned. Seems kind of wrong, but there's too much clutter otherwise.
[eddie]Re-thinking how I want to display webmentions on my site. I’ve gotten all previous webmentions downloaded from webmention.io and stored in a folder that matches the post they are associated with, which is pretty exciting!
[eddie]I’m pretty excited to have all my webmention data locally now rather than just periodically pulling all the data from webmention.io and having that be my “canonical” webmention data store.
[eddie]Since I have my nicknames cache and will be storing webmentions locally, I think I’m gonna take this time to add a webmention moderation queue, that matches some of the ideas discussed in the Berlin session
[eddie]!tell swentel I feel like I remember reading something about you being able to show webmentions you received in Indigenous for Android using the ?q=source query if I remember correctly? Is that something you are doing now? or something you were thinking about
[eddie]so if you receive a webmention and you have it listed as “unlisted” by default so it doesn’t show up on your page, then you need a way to moderate it or mark is as public
[eddie]So there’s two ways you could display it. One would be when receiving the content of a post (I want to see and potentially moderate any posts connected to this post)
[eddie]Initially I was just going to build a web interface on the backend of my website code, but I think this is definitely something that Micropub could help
[eddie]But back in 2015 we didn’t have the Post List query mechanism in Micropub AND the discussion was more about getting notifications than about moderating and editing content
kisik21I'm making a mention shortcode for my site that pulls data out of my blogroll. Should I mark up URLs as h-cards if the result would look like <a href="$site" class="u-url h-card">@someone</a>?
[eddie]I think you could display the comment via Microsub and moderate it through Micropub but then that feels like you’re starting to cross polinate between the two
LoqiA person tag (AKA people tag) is a person mention that is also a tag on a post that refers to a specific person by URL rather than just a word or phrase, and is done as an explicit tagging action by the user, beyond just mentioning a person via hyperlink / h-card / or @-name, autocompleted or not https://indieweb.org/person-tag
