@TracyDurnell Reading about Medium's union-busting... I'm union and want to support workers. Makes me not want to read Medium articles but does that punish indie writers? Not sure what the right thing to do is. (IndieWeb + widescale distribution/discovery mechanism...) https://www.vice.com/en/article/5dp7y3/medium-tells-journalists-to-feel-free-to-quit-after-busting-union-drive (twitter.com/_/status/1374589334402179074)

#
sknebel is this cross-slack DM thing something we can/need to turn off?
#
sknebel or is it only a thing if you opted in to some kind of connection?
[KevinMarks] and [tantek] joined the channel
#
[tantek] I think a Slack admin has to first setup a cross-Slack connection before the DMs can happen across Slacks so we should be ok
#
sknebel ok, the article I read wasnt entirely clear so I thought I'd ask
#
@dylanatsmith Hey #indieweb, is there a current best/easiest way to syndicate tweets from a "notes" section of a blog? My current stack is Jekyll with NetlifyCMS (hosted on Netlify). (twitter.com/_/status/1374752622087921667)

@44 well that was easy as shit to abuse - send invite with nasty language - slack emails you w/ the full content of the invite - can't block the emails because they come from a generic slack address that informs you of invites - abuser can keep inviting w/ abusive language https://twitter.com/44/status/1374721166376497152 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ExQMOzkWUAYMFBZ.jpg (twitter.com/_/status/1374737695444901891)

#
@hypatiadotca @anildash @justkelly_ok the way this is going to play out is: it sends an email each time there's a message request, and folks are going to use it for spam, and that's going to impact Slack's mail deliverability, and only then will they fix it. Sigh. (twitter.com/_/status/1374731314922983428)
#
[tantek] huh that's much worse if that's true (and not locked down ASAP)
#
sknebel as ASAP as the google calendar spam probably ...

#
[tantek] hmm that seemed to go away tbh
#
[tantek] I'd expect Slack to be more responsive since it was designed from day 1 as a paid enterprise service rather than designed to be free, then included as part of some other service

jacky probably b/c Google didn't want a case on a product that brings in a lot of revenue (possibly by ad info sourcing)
#
[tantek] yup

[KevinMarks] More on slack's motivation/selling point https://twitter.com/MC_of_A/status/1374717753504972803?s=20
#
@MC_of_A note that Slack has apparently explained why it wants to become a messaging app -- because its corporate buyers want more comprehensive surveillance of their employees https://www.protocol.com/slack-messaging-connect https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ExP6aDZWEAE0kBu.png (twitter.com/_/status/1374717753504972803)

jacky that's ... wild
#
[KevinMarks] Looks like slack woke up https://twitter.com/verge/status/1374785166216990720?s=20
#
@verge Slack quickly removes the ability to message strangers with DM invites over harassment concerns https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/24/22348743/slack-connect-dm-abuse-harassment-disable-message-invite-response?utm_campaign=theverge&utm_content=chorus&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ExQ30nvWEAIaY7_.jpg (twitter.com/_/status/1374785166216990720)

@mgdm Do IndieWeb technologies (webmention, web sign in, etc) get much use? I have seen a lot of microformats around but not heard a lot about the other parts (twitter.com/_/status/1374837549831745544)
