[tantek] yooo how NOT to do regex's for anything to do with URLs. I can't even: https://mashable.com/article/twitter-dot-com-posts-change-to-x-dot-com-ios

[tantek] on the positive side, for anyone who has transitioned from Mastodon to using their own site with Bridgy Fed, here's an SSG for your Mastodon export of old posts in case you want something up relatively quickly before a full backfill: https://github.com/lmorchard/fossilizer/releases/tag/v0.2.0

#
capjamesg [tantek] do you have a reference on making HTTP requests without CORS in web extensions?
#
capjamesg I vaguely remember running into CORS permission requirements when building extensions in the past.

#
[Joe_Crawford] I believe most extensions can make whatever calls they like, though one needs a manifest to enumerate what the thing will call. What browser are you working with? Look to their developer API docs for building extensions or plugins. I’m heading to bed. :)

#
capjamesg Any UI suggestions [tantek]?
#
capjamesg A big thing is making the rule list for what constitutes misinformation.
#
capjamesg I haven’t researched the best way to get a list of misinformation categories on Wikipedia.
#
capjamesg There are a lot of refinements to make and I don’t have consensus logic in the web extension yet. I will probably not get to most of this until I am back home, but I may tinker.
#
[tantek] Re: list of misinformation categories: manually constructed from examples, we can probably come up with it
#
[tantek] I wouldn't bother listing all the non-bad categories
#
[tantek] They're UI noise
#
[tantek] We should capture screenshots of the UIs of how various silos tag/label/annotate posts as misinformation or "reader supplied context"
#
Loqi yea
