Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "Refern" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "Refern is ____", a sentence describing the term)

[artlung] https://www.refern.app ~ oh wow. that shutdown notice for this pinterest-a-like is just painful lesson after painful lesson. sounds like it was too expensive to run, and it didn't plan for users using it for nsfw images - zero moderation plan is not good.

[tantek] Maybe worth an entry in /site-deaths and then redirect /Refern to that subsection
# 
[social] Rule one when building a social platform with user generated content is NSFW content will show up and often very early (as in the first day and hours). Somehow this lesson from the early 2000s didn’t get learned.
# [social] There really aught to be a list of lessons learned to go through that would greatly help avoid or mitigate problems that will likely be run into.
# [social] In my past few years mentoring grad students and some of their projects I point out the issues they will likely run into and how to plan for them. The guidance sometimes gets ignored and the lessons learned become their lived memory. Other times they hit them and they have a plan in place that works or helps deal with the issues.
# [social] It could be a book. It is part of what my Complexity / Social Lenses are for, but there many sub-set collections that can be created like a list of lessons learned as starters.
# [social] My long time phrase is, “You can not know until you know”

# Loqi Weird Web October is a 31 day challenge to make a website every day in October according to the theme of the day, inspired by Inktober, and open to anyone to participate by posting about their new sites with the hashtag #weirdweboctober https://indieweb.org/Weird_Web_October
# Loqi October is the 10th month of the Gregorian calendar year and a month of several blogging challenges such as Blogtober, Inktober, Mathober, Weird Web October, also a month where some sites display a seasonal Halloween theme, or may be in reference to October CMS https://indieweb.org/October
# Loqi Site deaths are when sites go offline, taking content and permalinks with them, and breaking the web accordingly https://indieweb.org/Refern
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "external content" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "external content is ____", a sentence describing the term)

# [Al_Abut] [gRegorLove] true, but calling reels “short form vertical video that’s different from stories because they have permalinks and don’t expire” is a bit of a mouthful :)
# [Al_Abut] True! And collecting into something they call highlights, I think?
# [Al_Abut] *collected
# [Al_Abut] I think highlights are like albums or playlists for short videos
# Loqi A highlight is a reaction post of a range of content that consists typically of just a restyling (like a yellow background as you might use a yellow physical highlighter, or an underline) https://indieweb.org/highlight

# Loqi A story is a singular (one per profile) time stream collection post, that consists of ephemeral photo and video posts that are shown in sequence one at a time and disappear from the collection some time after being added, usually 24 hours https://indieweb.org/story
# [Al_Abut] *a tiktok user, not that I thought you were a tiktok. Man, my phone’s autocomplete is acting up today…
# [Al_Abut] I definitely want to add more video to my site, whether vertical or not. I experimented with a draft blog post last year to see how onerous adding a <video> element would be:
# [Al_Abut] Oh yeah, I don’t pay attention to channel names, haha
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "short" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "short is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# [Al_Abut] Yeah, short videos is the closest I can get
# [tantek] "short" is my suggestion, based on the prior art/naming of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_film ["Short" was an abbreviation for either term.]
# gRegor lol from my searching: https://indieweb.org/redirect_short_cut_thingy_for_the_wiki
# Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "featurette" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "featurette is ____", a sentence describing the term)
# [Al_Abut] It’s not the driving factor, vertical has a lot of positives that I’ve learned to embrace (looks immersive on mobile without looking bad on desktop, whereas the horizontal videos are microscopic on mobile)
# [Al_Abut] Yep!
# [Al_Abut] go down the rabbit hole of vines compilations that are saved on youtube, they’re hilarious
# [Al_Abut] That 8 second limitation was GENIUS
# [Al_Abut] Some of the funniest stuff I’ve ever seen in my life
# [Al_Abut] Hahahahaha
# [Al_Abut] Some of the coolest magic editing tricks too
# [Al_Abut] And with that, I’m off to dinner. Later skaters…
