[tantek] what is a content warning
#
Loqi content warning is a feature of a post create UI where an author can hide some or all of the primary content of a post due to concerns about negative impacts of the content upon viewers, and typically provide a text warning (eponymously named) with the nature of the concerns, which is initially displayed instead of the post content https://indieweb.org/content_warning
#
[tantek] ^ capjamesg, figured I'd shift the conversation here because cw discussions usually end up very quickly in dev/tech questions about how to properly represent cws while having some compat with Mastodon's (re/ab)use of a non-empty "summary" property to mean cw
#
aaronpk [tantek]: if you can create a u-category link to indienews you can submit things as regular posts instead of bookmarks https://news.indieweb.org/how-to-submit-a-post
#
[tantek] Wait I'm confused by that because the docs seem to say that u-bookmark-of is required to submit someone else's post
#
[tantek] "To submit someone else's post, you can post a bookmark on your site and submit that URL to IndieNews! Post an h-entry as normal, then include a u-bookmark-of property linking to the actual URL you want to submit."
#
aaronpk ohhh crap right
#
aaronpk i forgot about that difference
#
aaronpk well, i am open to suggestions if there is something that makes sense that doesn't require bookmark posts
#
[tantek] No I think the current IndieNews design does make sense, it's just that it's non-trivial to add an explicit new response type like that. E.g. my rsvp posts are definitely a bit of a hack
#
[tantek] What is a bookmark
#
Loqi 🔖 A bookmark (or linkblog) is a post that is primarily comprised of a URL, often title text from that URL, sometimes optional text describing, tagging, or quoting from its contents https://indieweb.org/bookmark

#
[tantek] I suppose I could hack a variant of my RSVP detection code to look for a post starting with "🔖 " or maybe also "bookmarked " and then markup any in-reply-to URL with u-bookmark-of (in addition to u-in-reply-to so that receivers that don't support bookmark responses can at least do something with it)
#
[tantek] Though that then begs the question of how far should I take emoji-> response markup methods. E.g. read or watch or listen posts

#
c​apjamesg My question about content warnings is more about presentation.
#
c​apjamesg I wonder if I should add a box around the warning to clearly distinguish it.
#
c​apjamesg Right now I italicised text.

[pfefferle] [snarfed] can you remember that I wanted to write a FEP using rel-alternate as alternative to conneg? I think mastodon has made that impossible because they require conneg also for rel-alternate and most of the other platforms followed that idea https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/issues/626 😞
#
Loqi [preview] [saschanaz] #626 Feature Request: `<link rel="alternate" type="application/activity+json">`
#
[pfefferle] oh no, just saw that you are doing the same... 😞
#
[pfefferle] So maybe it's me who is wrong... too bad, it would have solved all my shared hosting issues!

#
saschanaz Oh Shift+Enter is impossible here. Anyway Mastodon does support `.json` kind of request, it's just that the rel=alternate doesn't use it
#
saschanaz https://fosstodon.org/@krosylight.json for example

Loqi saschanaz has 1 karma over the last year
#
jacky that sucks
#
saschanaz BTW, has anyone successfully loaded account info from single-person servers? I tried it using Misskey and I know Misskey in general has no issue with that, but still my single-person Misskey can't access Threads account as such request e.g. to https://www.threads.net/ap/users/mosseri just gives HTTP 404 even with signed request.
#
saschanaz *account info from Threads
#
jacky I think the _remote_ account (on Threads) has to opt into it, no?
#
saschanaz Yup, and @mosseri is one of the opted-in account
#
[tantek] ^ aaronpk I remember you were having difficulty following Threads profiles from your AP implementation on your site right?
#
[tantek] yes threads/mosseri is a good test Threads account for that
