Okay I will do email

When I get to office
#
[jgmac1106]
aaronpk will Sando get 100 emails if I send it out an email to participants?
#
[jgmac1106]
no they don't seems to filter out duplicate addresses
#
aaronpk
They got 100 tickets, didn't register 100 times
#
aaronpk
I'm assuming that means they'll get only one email
#
[jgmac1106]
yeah, it only sent to 25 has an option to only go to the ticket....I wonder how someone registered for 100 tix
#
[jgmac1106]
gwg email sent, now to go record my demo as a model, aaronpk is doing a write up, feel free to do the same gwg or do a video

[jgmac1106]
would this be wrong to send: @MGraybosch I 100&% agree we need to take back control of the web. Thanks for sharing the #indieweb message. Community however likes to avoid sharecropping metaphor. We do not want to equate the rise of social media with the struggles of post-slavery and Jim Crow
[Michael_Beckwit joined the channel
#
jeremycherfas
I've no idea whether this makes any difference to your argument [jgmac1106] but sharecropping is not an exclusively US activity, nor was it exclusively carried out by ex-slaves and their landlords.

[jgmac1106]
I know and slavery exists,today. Just one of those false equivalent metaphors that bug me... I think I will kust leave ir

For anyone still on Facebook, I created an event to share for IndieWebCamp Austin: https://www.facebook.com/events/789905824861855/

[Michael_Beckwit
still on it, though i removed my phone app so i can’t casually browse readily
#
jeremycherfas
The actual digitalsharecropper hashtag doesn't have a huge amount of traction, and users with that moniker are ... Interesting
#
jeremycherfas
I'd be inclined to let it lie.

I'm also experimenting with running a Twitter ad for IndieWebCamp Austin to see if we can get some more visibility to the Austin blogger community. If anyone wants to retweet: https://twitter.com/microdotblog/status/1226211226017026049

@microdotblog
When you post something on the web, it should belong to you, not a corporation. Join us at IndieWebCamp Austin for sessions on the alternative to big social networks. February 22-23 at Capital Factory.

their apps are very invasive with tracking you unfortunately. if you're going to use it at all, try to use just the mobile website
#
[tantek]
oops scroll-thread err
#
[tantek]
[jgmac1106] I agree with the spirit of the "teachable moment" of your response, however I think the timing is not ideal with a new person
#
[tantek]
better to be 100% welcoming on Twitter, invite them to join our chat, and if subsequent positive conversation and connection gets built, *then* it may be effective to start talking about how problematic "sharecropping" is as a metaphor
#
[tantek]
Twitter is one of the worst places for correcting someone if you're actually trying to build a relationship, and especially when there is a power imbalance where you're coming from more privilege (e.g. as a defacto active member from the community vs a new person)

I try to limit own Twitter "corrections" to those much more privileged than me, which usually limits me to arguments with white-male (presenting) folks who are either C-level or work for a BigTech company.
#
[jgmac1106]
yeah glad I paused before sending it out. just sticking to post positive works, Recognition on the parade ground but dressing downs in private
#
[tantek]
especially with new folks
#
[tantek]
I think it's an important subtlety for recruiting

[manton] my only attendees at IWC New Haven were people from a diner, this year event I am blanketing coffee shops and diners...though you already have a huge number of people registered

I thought maybe you promoted me to organizer

okay time to record my IWC Online demo, I think work for the day is about done
#
[jgmac1106]
..but I think my demo got extended to a Ghana and possibly an Austin demo
