[tantek] Via jacky RT, thread on community curation: https://twitter.com/holdenshearer/status/1212727688085090305
#
@HoldenShearer Here's an idea to carry into 2020: You cannot create or curate a community where everyone is welcome. It's an incoherent, fake goal. It sounds nice but it is categorically impossible. Some people, by their very presence, make a space unsafe and unwelcoming to others. (twitter.com/_/status/1212727688085090305)

aaronpk needs to update the newsletter code tonight
#
@brettkosinski Most of what you see from me starts on my blog. Tweets, photos, or articles, I post them on my blog and syndicate. Part 1 on why and how! #indieweb (twitter.com/_/status/1212970562164793349)

#
aaronpk i'm implementing a shortcut for response moderation for the immediate need of today's newsletter
#
aaronpk responses will need manual approval eventually, but in the mean time, if a webmention is received from the website of someone who has logged in already, then it will be auto-approved
#
aaronpk it's kind of an implicit allow-list

aaronpk Boom
#
[schmarty] that's a lot of upcoming events!
#
aaronpk I want to cluster the HWCs by day to collapse it a little
#
[schmarty] i think that's how they appeared previously, right? one entry per HWC day, with cities listed underneath?
#
aaronpk yea cause before there was one page per HWC day
#
aaronpk which is only good for this exact use case

aaronpk I do appreciate how little code had to change for that because both indieweb.org/events and events.indieweb.org use microformats

@jgmac1106 I posted a microcast as a reply here: https://jgregorymcverry.com/2020-01-02indiewebupdate In summary: I found Doug's points fascinating and his connection to political philosophy, enlightening as always. I do take issue with Doug's ideas that #IndieWeb's focus on building out… https://quickthoughts.jgregorymcverry.com/2020/01/03/i-posted-a-microcast-as-a-reply (twitter.com/_/status/1213167827013767169)

Loqi Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#
[jgmac1106] Sadik and I are raising money for our IndieWeb OER project. Would it be a violation of community norms to send a CTA post for a donation to indienews?
[schmarty] joined the channel
#
[schmarty] do you have a post that explains what the indieweb oer project is all about? particularly why this funding model is a good fit?
petermolnar joined the channel
#
[jgmac1106] yeah I think Sadik wrote one, I will ask
#
[jgmac1106] I know I have a few but would rather it come from Accra rather than Connecticut
#
[jgmac1106] [Sadik_Shahadu] no worries if it doesn't make this weeks newsletter if you want to work on it more

@brettkosinski ↩️ What about a backfeed? It's not perfect (Facebook, for example, has closed off their APIs so this isn't possible), but it's an option for a few (including Twitter and Instagram): https://indieweb.org/backfeed (twitter.com/_/status/1213180284545294336)

@CharlieRoseMari ↩️ I have always felt that IndieWeb is more a culture of mutual aid than shipping tools. We do release tools, but the focus seems to be more on teaching one to fish than giving a complete out of the box replacement for social media. (twitter.com/_/status/1213181082218192897)
#
@CharlieRoseMari ↩️ Or, I suppose I could also put it like this: IndieWeb is a philosophy. Fediverse is a solution. I think of the two as both complementary and categorically different. (twitter.com/_/status/1213181527519105026)

#
gRegorLove [jgmac1106], I don't think this line is correct in your post above, if you mean the Social WG?
#
gRegorLove > In fact the four founders of IndieWeb came together as a reaction to the W3C working group that helped lead to the development of ActivityPub and Activity Stream.

#
[tantek] I feel like this error happens often enough that Loqi ought to be smarter about it
#
[tantek] aaronpk, can you use the same code that evaluates for "<<" as a way to check for the name of a page to redirect to for "a is b" expressions before using b as a literal for page definition?
