[Mike] Does IW chat have blocking by keyword? Generally I find that kind of heavy-handed, but in the case of repeated Spam, whether well intentions but oblivious or actually badly intentions, in this case there’s a specific domain that I don’t think any of us are losing anything by blocking it from being mentioned in chat at all.

WinnerWind aaronpk: i dont think i know any on-demand enamel pin vendors, but i'll let you know if i find one.
# WinnerWind [Mike]: i dont know how time consuming making enamel pins making are
# WinnerWind aaronpk: someone i know knows of an on-demand vendor with international shipping, i'll get the deets and email them to you? who handles the merch store?
# WinnerWind he says circular shaped pins can be readied in 2-3 days
# WinnerWind but he says that we should probably have a design in mind before we contact them
# WinnerWind additional details: custom shapes are okay, but enamel pins require a MOQ if we go down that route (minimum 20-50 units) but lapel pins in a small quantity can be done on demand
# WinnerWind lapel pins = pins with a metal base pin with a vinyl on top
# WinnerWind enamel pins have texture but because of that they'd prefer that we do a MOQ, i dont know the volume at which merch is bought from the IWC merch store so im not sure if minimum 20-50 units would be worth it

[capjamesg] [tantek] [artlung] + everyone else. Osteophage noted to me one instance relating to removing links where they weren’t sure how to handle a scenario where someone’s post more generally on the web had been sufficiently poorly received that they had deleted their site. The only context I can find is on https://mastodon.social/@st3phvee/1164447814. A web search for their domain showed at least one hostile blog post written in response to
# [capjamesg] what they had written.
# [capjamesg] I don’t know enough to comment on the specifics of what happened, but there is a discussion to be had on what we do about links where something like this has happened.
# [capjamesg] Oops, I think Slack broke the link or maybe I did: https://mastodon.social/@st3phvee/116444781492817412
# [capjamesg] > “Yeah, so I’m never posting anti-AI thoughts to my blog ever again. A post I made yesterday ended up gaining WAY more traction than I ever thought it would after it got shared to HN. While it generated some good discussion, it also led to some pretty nasty comments/personal attacks and retaliatory behaviour.”

# [Mike] I have certain referrers whose users I don’t want visiting my site, so I actually have a cloudflare worker that tracks visitors arriving with those referrers, and then adds them to a secondary list that blacklists those visitors for a length of time afterwards even if they type in the URL directly. It’s not 100% bullet proof of course but it does a good job of dissuading visitors from those sites from continuing to try.

# [capjamesg] [Mike] One thing I do want is to ban IPs trying to scan for files like *.php, *.env, etc.
# [capjamesg] Oops, this is more for #indieweb-dev.
