#[jgmac1106]...it didn't happen as I didn't even realize it was HWC week....folks sent me Skype connection. My fault but will see if they still met
#[jgmac1106]Just got swamped with my brother's wedfing, my bad
#[tantek][jgmac1106] it shouldn't be just your responsibility to update the wiki, can you encourage the local organizers to jump in and try?

#@manton2↩️ No problem, I just wanted to get a little more information about how we can improve it. For belonging to an "ecosystem", it's best to think of blogs on http://Micro.blog as part of the larger IndieWeb. (It's actually free to use, but paid if you want us to host your blog.)

#[tantek]whoa (social) networks collision! I know both of you [manton] and Kevin Smokler!
#[tantek]and pretty sure you have both been in Austin at the same time (Kevin is old school SXSW interactive)
#[tantek][manton] I presume from the tone of the conversation thread that you two have not previously met right?

#[eddie][manton] from reading that thread, the discover feed is available to access. I wonder if there could be some type of “conversation discovery feed” that shows not JUST the initial post but the conversations in response to the initial post, showing people that don’t have a Micro.blog account the type of community conversations that go on “on the other side of the login”
#[eddie]I think that *might* be what’s missing from his perspective and causing this “I don’t know what’s behind the wall” phrasing

#@jgmac1106↩️ I wasn't referring to autograding (though argue if you can fool a machine grader with nonsense youvare by definition a phenomenal writer who grasp sublety of prose) but online learning will hace more and more non human actors.

#LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "Discord" yet. Would you like to create it?_1 (Or just say "Discord is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#[jgmac1106]tantek I checked all the pages. It does not exist yet probably bc there wasn't any IndieWeb relevance..until now
#jgmac1106Swedneck_ everything on the channels is Public Domain, if you want to Bridge I would say go for it, if Discord’s ToS and data collection policies do not claim any copyright or exclusive license to use any of the work
#jgmac1106please also note the #chat channel is not logged and is considered off the record
#jgmac1106I mean it’s Public Domain they can use it if they wanted to…it would be the assigning a license, i have never used Discord or read it’s ToS or Privacy policy
#Swedneck_discord is a bit iffy regarding privacy, but i can't find any references to them claiming any copyright
#jgmac1106not sure what I am doing wrong there or Loqi is back to drinking tea…thought that would get you kicked out of #PDX
[manton] joined the channel
#[manton][eddie] Yeah, we've gone back and forth on that... We used to show replies in Discover, which I liked, but sometimes they would be out of context and not useful. Need to think through it a little more.
#[manton][tantek] I don't think I ever met Kevin at SXSW. I replied a few times on Twitter because I was having trouble understanding exactly what needed to be better in Micro.blog. (I think it's a combination of not being able to see more example posts before signing up, and confusion about how it's built on blogs.)
#aaronpkSwedneck_: regarding bridging the chat, my only request is that discord users bridged back here appear as individual IRC users rather than speaking through a bot user
#aaronpkfor example all the users here with [] around their nicks are from slack
#LoqiHomebrew Website Club is a bi-weekly meetup of people passionate about or interested in creating, improving, building, designing their own website, in the same structure as the classic Homebrew Computer Club meetings https://indieweb.org/hwc
#LoqiThe Organizers Summit is a half-day of activities and sessions before IndieWeb Summit 2019, for Organizers, everyone who has co-organized a recent IndieWebCamp or series of Homebrew Website Club meetups https://indieweb.org/2019/Organizers
#swedneck[m]as for how to join via discord, should i just add the invite links to the individual channels for now?
#swedneck[m]discord works slightly differently to IRC, you join guilds rather than channels, and those guilds then have channels that you automatically join
#swedneck[m]so really we could just have the invite link to the main indieweb channel
#aaronpkAdd whatever instructions you need to tell people how to do it who aren't familiar with discord :-)
#aaronpkI didn't know about this "guild" thing. Or is that what look like slack teams?
#swedneck[m]discord just straight up does not have built-in discoverability for anything that isn't an official game chat, people just find invites via other media
#[tantek]let's definitely keep -chat unlogged please and if that means we can't bridge to a network which does automatic logging then I guess that's ok? maybe it's time to have a ok-to-be logged -offtopic channel
#[jgmac1106]manton I humbly suggest adding a 3 to your splash page. Something like "Quickest Way to Personal Websites, Blogs, or Portfolios"
#[jgmac1106]when I tell folks about microblog and show them the page I often get "but does it do regular blog posts and can I make pages?"
#@sirmliveseyMoving platforms, then moving platforms, then moving... Platforms, herein lies the problem.
Nearly all of us have in our pocket a device capable of running a server to syndicate our updates with foundation technology of the modern Web, RSS, plus indieweb technology. (twitter.com/_/status/1139194255497469952)
#@Weegee↩️ Self-hosting is beyond the technical expertise of the average person. So unless you define the "IndieWeb" as coders and software engineers "free to use if you can host it" is like saying "a car is free to drive if you can repair its suspension system" (twitter.com/_/status/1139202517114294272)
#@Weegee↩️ At least then the "IndieWeb" as you are defining it is not a bunch of people talking to themselves. Which, if we are going back to the early days of blogging was never the idea. (twitter.com/_/status/1139203339948658688)

#aaronpkthat was a leap from manton's "free to use but paid if you want us to host it" to "self-hosting"
#[jgmac1106]so then micro.blog is the Uber of IndieWeb...sorry couldnt resist
#aaronpkthere's plenty in between self-hosting or pay micro.blog
#[jgmac1106]I didn't want to hop in but I have been sending webmentions from my website to posts on micro.blog all morning
#aaronpkthat's enough uncertainty for me to leave it as is right now :)
#@jdp23↩️ Yep, me too - Wordpress for the win! I also tend to use Medium for reach (POSSEing, as the #indieweb folks say), but it might well be time to get away from that. (twitter.com/_/status/1139211934312488960)

#gRegorLoveThanks Loqi, I hadn't looked at Twitter yet today XD
#LoqigRegorLove: [jgmac1106] left you a message 1 day, 11 hours ago: here is someone else who might be interested in organizing IndieWeb Meet Ups or an IWC San Diego from UC-San Diego http://www.erinroseglass.com/
#LoqiIt looks like we don't have a page for "discord" yet. Would you like to create it?_2 (Or just say "discord is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#aaronpk[jgmac1106]: that's the opposite of what I would think would be useful. Our current travel assistance fund explicitly already says it can be used for childcare. I dont see the point of splitting the funds people are contributing to
#aaronpkadding a ticket that explicitly requests childcare on the other hand is worth discussing
#@hollyWomen, and especially #WomenInTech -- what do you want to see from events and festivals (eg free tampons in toilets, code of conduct etc)? Writing an article, may quote you! (twitter.com/_/status/1139212302086037504)
#[tantek]Sknebel if we recorded them in Mozilla’s internal system then it’s likely I never got around to exporting them because it’s quite a pain to do so :/
#[jgmac1106]and I have personally been called out for jumping into a conversation where I wasn't welcome from getting there from a syndicated link and not reading entire thread...I never even visited Twitter for context.
#chrisaldrich^ may be a context collapse issue that social readers might consider addressing.
jgmac1106 and [tantek] joined the channel
#[tantek]Also twitter takes a few moments to load the context. Often you only see one reply context upon first viewing a tweet page, then it used JS to retrieve the whole preceding thread
#aaronpkI'm not sure this is entirely a technology problem
#aaronpkwhen I see a tweet that mentions indieweb, I might feel compelled to reply to specifically that tweet, even if the original tweet up in the chain is about something else. It's hard to train yourself out of that
#chrisaldrichoften I'll bookmark those (especially from those I don't know directly) and come back several days later and only respond if no one in their immediate network has followed up. (presuming they asked a question or seemed to need some help/advice)
#chrisaldrichOften there's also an issue of the branching of threads, so it's important to traverse the entire tree and all the individual threads as their question may have been addressed on tweet 3 when you came in on tweet 7 and otherwise don't see it in the Twitter UI.
#chrisaldrichWouldn't it be nice if Twitter had a branching diagram in the sidebar somewhat like the branching diagrams that Git clients provide?
