#[tantek]we could do a variant on the original /Creator qualification, not for participation, e.g. I think we have figured out how to scale beyond that and keep a sense of community integrity, but perhaps as a requirement to make session proposal
#[tantek]i.e. either you're using your domain as your primary identity, or do a joint session proposals with someone who is
#[tantek]obviously folks who partition their "notes" into a subdomain (e.g. with a personal single-user Masto instance at a subdomain) would be fine
#[tantek]gatekeeping isn't a bad thing inherently, just as curation isn't. gatekeeping is bad when it's a sociopolitical. it's good when it's based on actual relevant experience, expertise, and proof of work
#[tantek]except that back in the 2010s we had an endemic (so to speak) of people-who-sent-lots-of-email claiming to be social-web-experts
#[tantek]now the problem is: "I've been on twitter a long time, so I'm an expert"
#[tantek]being an expert at storing your stuff in someone else's garage doesn't make folks experts on creating garages. they might have opinions as users sure, but user is not the same as a platform/UX creator. I'd make an exception for anyone who could show their HyperCard stacks ๐
#gRegor-1 for the domain as identity pre-req to propose a session
#gRegorFeels like an unnecessary barrier, we've had some good sessions proposed by people new to the community or just getting started. I feel like it might be intimidating/discouraging to some of those people to find someone to do a joint session with
#gRegor^ In the "Posts about Indieweb" we might want to indicate "submitted on [date]" so it doesn't look like the post was written then. jmac's posts there are from 2018 for example.
#gRegorI wonder if his URLs changed and those indienews syndications got re-sent
#LoqiJust generated this week's newsletter! You still have a few minutes to make changes, and I'll re-generate it 10 minutes before it gets sent out at 3pm Pacific time. https://indieweb.org/this-week/2022-12-23.html
#gregorlove.comedited /rsvps (+381) "/* Ben Werdmuller */ links. event post still up, link to archive for comments/RSVPs" (view diff)
#LoqigRegor has 25 karma in this channel over the last year (71 in all channels)
#[tantek]we need a way (for anyone logged into indieweb.org?) to mute any IndieNews post for cases like this where an old post gets auto-re-syndicated because "something" changed. or when there are "random" IndieNews posts that have nothing to do with IndieWeb
#[tantek][KevinMarks] what's the term for when feeds cause readers to forget read/unread status? feed amnesia? I can't quite remember
#tantek.comedited /link_rel (-28) "this was supposed to be a redirect but an errant space caused Loqi to treat "/ rel" as an actual definition rather than a redirect which was likely typed on a mobile touch keyboard that errantly inserted a space" (view diff)
