[Serena]: you can use the "move" feature to move your wiki user page to the new domain, but that's really the only thing like a "wiki account" we have

↩️ IndieWebCamp has and extends a lot of technical and social baggage that their wiki/chat and the governance (read: cult mentality) is FUBAR - 4chan of Web stuff. They don't understand or capable of genuinely approaching "plurality" even if their lives depended on it.

↩️ Hi Ruben, the RDF ones were me. The way the #indieweb wiki works is that when you ask 'what is [thing]?' in chat, the bot will show the definition, or you can make a quick stub by saying [thing] is [definition] This does encourage flippancy a bit.

i've looked at that feature before but it's never seemed worth it really

seems like it would take more coordination between the streaming devices in each room than just streaming easch individually like we do now
#

I guess it also makes it harder to join as the option is not available on mobile.

Zegnat
I still thought it was an ineresting UX thing though. As we would only need to share 1 url and people could watch any room from there

aaronpk
yeah i do like that aspet
#
aaronpk
really we just need to make our own page that can link to the current stream from each room
#

wouldn't be a lot of work, mostly figuring out a way to have each room identify which it is when starting a new video
