It feels like we should make mention of this on the spec site too if so.

It is, but for a narrower set of use-cases. It’s not really essential for any kind of indieweb to indieweb interop
#
[tantek]
More of a bridge for older sites / software that has a stricter built-in “post types” model

↩️ Any thoughts about the Goodreads replacement going toward @indieweb / Mastadoon model? As in, still a social network, but entirely related to self-owning our part in the system? https://wordpress.org/plugins/indieweb/

↩️ In the past I've dug in heavily to Indieweb and I revisit it every few years but I've found it largely a waste. So many dead ideas/protocols/etc all making folks feel good but never really providing anything to anyone

Well that's a bit extreme. "Anything"? "Anyone"?
#
aaronpk
Maybe "something I was looking for" and "to me" would be more accurate
#

I did POSSE a reply, but did not mention indieweb so it won't be picked up.
#

What is the purpose of this site?
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "purpose of this site" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "purpose of this site is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
capjamesg[d]
I saw it on Google today. I can't really remember what I searched for though.
#
@ChrisWiegman
@EatPodcast Lol. OK. Just keep feeling good about it.

we don't need that attitude here 👋

@chrisbergr
↩️ For me, the Indieweb is two things: a collection of concepts and ideas (e.g. OwnYourData); and a community with great people. Both offer me a lot, so please don't say "never provide anything to anyone" - There's more alive than dead.

Mastodon also incorporates IndieWeb concepts, right?
#
aaronpk
yes, which is why i've decided to just ignore that person

It’s been kind of messy on my RSS feed, apologies for that. I’m still setting up IndieWeb stuff. Here’s an old pic of Billy and Mara though.

[tantek]
wow it's a day for arguments.
#
[tantek]
aaronpk, that person does have #indieweb-wordpress in their Twitter bio (the # wordpress hashtag, in case that got auto-converted to a channel link). did they try to engage with IndieWeb and WordPress and have problems? GWG do you remember them at all?
#
[tantek]
jeremycherfas++ for trying the kindness approach. never know when it's going to work and when someone is going to double-down. 😕

I didn't realize the microformats staging wiki was up still, should we remove that? https://chat.indieweb.org/meta/2021-10-27#t1635341930484300
#
capjamesg[d]
That’s what I was thinking.
#
capjamesg[d]
It has been indexed by Google.
#
aaronpk
oops, i think it's on the same machine
#
aaronpk
i can redirect those to microformats.org

gRegor
good catch capjamesg[d]++

#

oh funny
#
aaronpk
http://microformats-staging.indieweb.org/ does redirect, the fact that it's serving from https is an accident
#
aaronpk
there was never an https version of it
#
gRegor
huh, interesting
#
capjamesg[d]
Very odd.
#
aaronpk
good tip, always set a default virtual host in nginx/apache that is a redirect otherwise the server will serve whatever your first site is
#
aaronpk
it's serving the wiki from `https:// (the ip address) /` too
#
aaronpk
there we go that should fix it

[tantek]: No, but I'm not always good with names, will look more closely

[tantek]
Thanks for looking into it. I'm kinda curious if we can figure out if/when this person showed up (in which channels) and how we responded at the time

[Chris Aldrich] Chris, many of us have been having the same thoughts for quite a while. Since you’re rethinking things, and you’ve already got your own website/blog, why not just switch over to that and let the internet be your social network? Many of us in the ...
#
[tantek]
Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between reasonable frustration at the wiki or other resources, vs a sense of either perfectionism or entitlement (or both) which can be an unfortunate source of continuous toxicity
#
[tantek]
Yes we should keep improving the wiki etc based on feedback, however as aaronpk alluded to, it's not always good to try to include or accommodate "everyone". that being said, we can all choose our own levels of personal outreach we want to do with different people, and how to spend our time/energy accordingly
#
aaronpk
why is everyone named chris 😂
#
[chrisbergr]
At school I was one of five Chris' in a class. That was horrible.
#
[chrisbergr]
The reason can be frustration, but maybe there is some kind of agenda behind it. Possibly someone is behind concepts/products that compete with IndieWeb?
#
[tantek]
that's usually unlikely because of our bridging philosophy
#
[tantek]
and actual bridging code and services!
#
[chrisbergr]
I guess Facebook isn't a fan either. But it was just a general 'maybe'.... In any case, it can't be because of the people here.

[tantek]: Coming to HWC tonight? We could discuss your booster shot post type
#
[tantek]
lol oh boy
#
[tantek]
is there prior art from Zegnat on posting vax status?
#
[tantek]
or making it part of your h-card?
#
GWG
[tantek]: Suggest it, he'd probably do it

I'm sure there is FHIR for vax status

i need to write up that blog post. i dug into the specs and wrote some code to validate it
