[Joe_Crawford] Currently driving home but loving listening in to HWC UK
#
[tantek] thanks capjamesg[d]++
#
Loqi capjamesg[d] has 13 karma in this channel over the last year (214 in all channels)
#
[tantek] and yes, let's not get distracted by every solution providing only shallow interactions
#
[tantek] I meant to ask if anyone on the HWC call has tried using an email prompt for feedback on posts
#
[tantek] i.e. at the bottom of post, beyond a Webmention form (or instead of!) some text or call to action to email. E.g. "Got thoughts on this? Feel free to email me!"
#
[tantek] ironically I'd expect high quality emails of that sort
#
[tantek] and the mailto link can have the subject pre-filled in to be "Re: (blog post name or summary here) "
#
[tantek] ^ capjamesg[d] question for HWC folks looking for more interaction/feedback on their websites

Loqi "Homebrew Website Club Europe/London" call ended https://events.indieweb.org/2025/01/homebrew-website-club-europe-london-EDE0nKJmcyhk
#
[Jo] i have been thinking about adding an email form at the bottom of my posts. i dont expect to get much spam since my site isnt indexed anywhere but perhaps thats wishful thinking
#
[Jo] a mailto like with a bit of pre-defined content is also a great idea tho, i didnt consider that

#
capjamesg[d] [tantek] 100% with regard to shallow interactions.
#
capjamesg[d] One of my favourite things about having a website is I can write in the way that I like and be able to share my writing on a page I designed.
#
capjamesg[d] I appreciate a kindly written email much more than I did a like on social media.
#
capjamesg[d] Blogging makes me reflect on the idea that we don't need scale; having a group of friends following with your art is more than enough for a blog!
#
[tantek] note in particular I mean 1:1 emails, almost like txt messages
#
[tantek] I wouldn't say this scales to email lists or groups, which tend towards turning into "work" or other weird interactions
#
capjamesg[d] 100%.
#
[Jo] yes agree
#
[Jo] lists again have this type of social media thread feel that id want to avoid in that situation
#
[tantek] 100% [Jo]
