#
tantek [jeremycherfas]: agreed about absorbing things, however the trade-off is plumbing discussions tend to scare away folks who see too few words they recognize
#
tantek we've seen a few tweets / posts about that recently, can't recall the URLs right now
#
tantek point being, it takes explicit work to make the main #indieweb channel as welcoming as possible to newcomers, and moving plumbing / programming talk is something all of us who have been here a while can help do
#
tantek and yes, sometimes any of us can need reminding
[kevinmarks] and chrisaldrich joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas I'm in full agreement with you, and a healthy <cough> can work wonders.
#
jeremycherfas As an inexpert user of IRC, is it conventionally useful to copy over a link to the original message in which ever channel?
#
aaronpk i'd say that's useful if there's enough discussion in the other channel that the new channel might be lacking context
#
Loqi aaronpk: tantek left you a message 1 day, 12 hours ago: this looks like an inappropriate lol from Loqi: https://chat.indieweb.org/2018-03-30/1522380766627800 - perhaps match a whitespace after "haha" ?
#
aaronpk helps link up the discussion in the logs later
#
aaronpk (fixed that haha btw)
#
jeremycherfas Right. And I know we've chatted about this before, but the fact that /chat is not logged means if anything there should be preserved, it ought to me moved elsewhere, possibly here, right?
#
aaronpk yeah basically repeat or summarize the thread in a logged channel if moving the conversation from -chat
#
jeremycherfas I'll try ...
