#
[jgmac1106] If I were to make a tutorial on the wiki for adding rel=me to your mastodon account where would it live /mastodon?
#
[kevinmarks] could do, or could be a standalone page that you link from both mastodon and rel-me
#
[jgmac1106] .....would Mastodon fil under silo details? Is a federated silo a silo? Are there any "political" consideradtions with labeling Mastodon in the silo category or does it simply fit the definition so that is where it goes?
#
aaronpk I don't think it meets any of the silo criteria
#
aaronpk The software itself anyway
#
aaronpk a particular instance has some properties of a silo but even that is a stretch I'd say
#
[jgmac1106] okay will make new heading Fediverse details
[manton] joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] just want to be careful with words we have built in the system with strong negative connotations
#
[manton] I don't think the term "silo" is really a simple true/false designation anymore. I wouldn't consider Mastodon a silo, but an account on an instance like Mastodon.social with 100k+ people has many of the same drawbacks of a traditional silo.
#
[jgmac1106] is there a word for networks like micro.blog and mastodon instances that are IndieWeb friendly and not labeled as "
#
[jgmac1106] silos"
#
[jgmac1106] perfect timing [manton]
#
[jgmac1106] Figured I could add a section about rel=me on the About Me pages of micro.blog at same time
Guest62482 joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] going with open networks for now, feel free to revise when I am done
#
[manton] Cool, thanks! I think in terms of rel=me, Mastodon and Micro.blog have the same approach.
#
[jgmac1106] yeah figured knock them out at the same time
#
[manton] I just read through /silo again. I think it could be iterated on to better reflect 2018 platforms and IndieWeb principles.
#
[manton] I'm not the best person to suggest changes since I'm biased. Perhaps would make a good session at IndieWebCamp.
#
[jgmac1106] what is microblog?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "microblog" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "microblog is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[jgmac1106] what is mircodotblog?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "mircodotblog" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "mircodotblog is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[jgmac1106] [manton] is there a wiki page for micro.blog?
#
[jgmac1106] what is micro.blog?
#
Loqi Micro.blog is a microblogging service started by Manton Reece, which natively supports IndieWeb standards microformats2, Webmention, and Micropub https://indieweb.org/Micro.blog
#
[jgmac1106] got it
#
[jgmac1106] can anyone check this out before I broadcast the link? https://indieweb.org/rel-me#Open-Networks
#
[jgmac1106] I did have trouble linking to the micro.blog page
#
Zegnat strolls in
#
Zegnat Micro.blog now links correctly
#
Zegnat Maybe include preview screenshots? So people see what it looks like when the link is rel-me verified?
#
[jgmac1106] I was thinking about but I then I worry about screen readers and screenshots and having to update screenshots as UI change
#
[jgmac1106] I just linked instead
#
[jgmac1106] anyone can feel free to add them

#
[jgmac1106] open networks isn't the best term open, unless simply defined as any platform committed to open standards

[jgmac1106] [tantek] I am not goign to bug her (too much) but I would like to see us work with Jess Klein to get webmentions working with Wikipedia....be cool to publish a record of edits from my website
[tantek] joined the channel
#
[tantek] That would be amazing. Also to get IndieAuth working with Wikipedia so we can sign in with our domain names!
#
[tantek] [jgmac1106] screenshots are great!
#
[tantek] Don’t worry about having to update them - instead put the date in the file name - every iteration of such UIs are useful to capture!
#
[tantek] And re: screen readers, as long as you start with text description first (which you did), you’re fine.
#
[tantek] In short, yes, add a screenshot, even if it’s just a snapshot of what exists now

Zegnat In tech speak: treat the screenshot as a progressive enhancement for visual user agents ;)
