npd[m] right, everything is imperfect! but it's still useful to show what is easy or what has easy paths to improvement
# npd[m] I guess I was thinking that what [KevinMarks] demonstrated in checking bidirectional links showed pretty promising applicability: http://www.kevinmarks.com/distributed-verify.html
# npd[m] although it's interesting if there was adoption of rel-me by "that Flickr, Twitter, Google+, Github, Huffduffer and GnuSocial all support rel="me" links natively" and that there's been a decrease since
# 
[KevinMarks] Also mastodon adopting bidirectional verification is good
# [KevinMarks] And huffduffer.com
# npd[m] did Flickr, Twitter and Facebook all used to have rel-me links and then remove the attributes?
# [KevinMarks] They did, you can see them in archive.org
# [KevinMarks] Publicly calling twitter to put them back is worth it. They were on the intent pages until the most recent redesign
# npd[m] I also want to encourage Bluesky folks to look for use of existing workable technologies. I don't know yet what they'll be open to, but I thought that was a goal of the engagement
# 
@sampullara @TaylorLorenz @joshelman The decentralized version that @kevinmarks mentioned is the right way to do it and it isn't owned by the platforms. (twitter.com/_/status/1143654063281594368)
# [KevinMarks] Well done Monica

# npd[m] oh, sorry! I made edits in the Matrix interface to try to distinguish which part of the message was a quote/blockquote. but of course I should probably have guessed that editing messages would end up as re-sending them over bridges
# npd[m] the matrix puns are a lovely side effect
# [KevinMarks] At one point Brad changed his fb profile pic to a QR code to get a publicly visible url there. I think he made Social Graph API crawl that too
# [KevinMarks] There's a Metaverse snow crash angle there
# npd[m] [KevinMarks]: do you have the code for the rel-me verification check extension somewhere? the github link from your blog post is broken

# [KevinMarks] I'll fix the link
# [KevinMarks] Voxpelli improved it a lot, mine was hackier

capjamesg[d] aaronpk I thought I'd written in meta description logic for og:descriptions. There was a small bug though. I'll reindex your site so your meta descriptions will be fixed. I noticed you only had og:description tags on some posts and not regular description meta tags.
# capjamesg[d] And this one just has a blank description: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/06/30/11/your-first-webmention

# capjamesg[d] I am a bit confused on how to use IndieAuth with an API key. How do I verify the access token someone has given me is in fact real / valid?
# capjamesg[d] I'm using indieauth.com for verification right now.

# capjamesg[d] Poor choice of words.
# capjamesg[d] And I found an answer in the spec in looking for the right word.
# 
aaronpk this post should help too https://aaronparecki.com/2021/04/13/26/indieauth
# capjamesg[d] I meant access_token not API key 😄
# capjamesg[d] Oh, thanks!
# capjamesg[d] I'll take a look.

# 
[jgmac1106] okay my Known blog is borked beyond repair, what do folks think my best migration path, if any is possible?
# [jgmac1106] not crazy, you may have to get me back as a WP migration is easiest, been using micro.blog I dig that, if I could just get the html containing the h* I would use my personal site, I have thousands and thousands of posts I am sure
# [jgmac1106] micro.blog just works, if I go back to WP I need to host somewhere else than reclaim for webmentions to fully function, I really like Known...but I can't keep up and now can't update
# [jgmac1106] thx brother

# capjamesg[d] Microsub looks very promising!
# capjamesg[d] aaronpk Monocle looks great!
# capjamesg[d] Anyone using Microsub actively? I’ll probably have questions 🙂
# capjamesg[d] I found the star a bit confusing.
# capjamesg[d] I then realized it was to like a post.
# capjamesg[d] I sort of wish the star was a heart.
# capjamesg[d] But aside from that it’s an amazing client!

Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "stream.IndieWeb.org" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "stream.IndieWeb.org is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# capjamesg[d] What is stream.IndieWeb.org?
# 
[jeremycherfas] !tell [jgmac1106] do you still have your Known database uncorrupted? If so, you may be able to create a completely new install of Known and then swap out the databases. I had to do that once when I messed up an update.
