[tantek] Via [KevinMarks] in #indieweb, posting here because we should make sure to have wiki pages for all the proper nouns mentioned in this article, along with their IndieWeb standards support or community usage: https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/07/how-twitters-descent-into-chaos-is-paving-the-way-for-a-new-web/

#
[tantek] Should we put up sn explicit allowlist of domains that the wiki allows subdomain logins vs not? Eg yes neocities but no http://GitHub.io

#
[aciccarello] Why yes to neocities but no to GitHub?
#
[aciccarello] I started with a GitHub subdomain before migrating to my own. They have good redirect support.
#
[aciccarello] I still have a batch of business cards from when I was looking for a job 7 years ago with http://aciccarello.github.io on them 😁
#
capjamesg Yeah. It feels like an arbitrary line.
#
capjamesg (And not a good one given that we have at least one community member for whom their primary website is hosted on GitHub pages without a domain name.)

#
gRegor I thought we already had an allowlist for that
#
gRegor I have vague memories of disallowing tilde.town for example
#
gRegor er, tilde.club

cambridgeport90_ Not sure if there's a point in doing this,but along with my The Lounge instance...I'm also thinking of setting up a IRC bouncer. Is there any reason in today's day and age to host one of those for yourself?
#
cambridgeport90_ I'm suing AdiIRC for now on Windows,though.

#
[tantek] I think at the time we decided that github io static hosting is often for random throw away sites that people don't really use as themselves (thus a larger potential for spam / damage) in contrast to both neocities and e.g. omg.lol are nearly always labors of love
#
[tantek] it definitely wasn't arbitrary, there was thought put into it
#
[tantek] it's more like, random subdomains of static hosting are disallowed by default because it's not an identity you own / control, it's owned by the silo
#
[tantek] I believe we also disallow .tumblr or .blogger
#
[tantek] or .blogspot, for similar reasons
#
[tantek] also massive sources of spam in practice
