GWG [snarfed]: Any advice on what tags I should filter via Bridgy? https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-formatting-being-sent-via-bridgy/

#
[snarfed] GWG I don't understand the problem yet. are you sure you do? you'll probably want to get an example before you jump to a solution

#
GWG [snarfed]: Agreed, just wondering if I should implement a default tag filter, and figured you'd given it thought.
#
[snarfed] by tag filter, do you mean for HTML sanitization?
#
[snarfed] for what use case? Bridgy Publish itself doesn't need to sanitize HTML

#
GWG [snarfed]: Yes. Just wondering if you did any sanitization

#
[snarfed] Bridgy Publish emits plain text, not HTML, so it doesn't sanitize HTML, it converts it to plain text
#
GWG [snarfed]: So, is there a case for me to do the same for some targets?
#
GWG That's the big question. I intend to handle both
#
GWG Both the individual problems and try to make some default decisions
#
[snarfed] right. I stil don't fully understand either their problem or your more general interest in sanitizing HTML. the one place I can think of where your plugin(s) render untrusted external HTML is webmention display, which you're not thinking about here, right?
#
[snarfed] otherwise, we don't have a clear use case here, unless you're confident you understand their question, which I don't
[aciccarello] and geoffo joined the channel
#
GWG [snarfed]: Webmention does sanitize the HTML limitedly
#
[snarfed] right, like I mentioned, but that's a different plugin

#
GWG [snarfed]: I am still brainstorming, so may ask for your advice further down the road. I owe pfefferle a PR now that we discussed the roadblock... I was waiting for him to comment, he was waiting for me to write it because he didn't have an issue...so communications

Loqi !tell snarfed it looks like the Bridgy Fed dashboard stopped reporting reposts. e.g. https://xoxo.zone/@tantek.com@tantek.com/109902114967226481 shows 16 reposts (as of 2/21) but none reported in https://fed.brid.gy/user/tantek.com

Loqi Countdown set by [tantek]3 on 2023-02-21 at 5:56pm UTC
#
aaronpk haha oops loqi doesn't chain !tell commands from countdowns
#
[tantek] Haha that was my attempt to queue a message to snarfed for after he got back from vacay
