@themuuj ↩️ Microformats? Sure. Custom data- attributes? Sure. Heck, the <table> element is probably the most damning evidence. (twitter.com/_/status/1437283198904553474)

@chrismessina ↩️ I remember! But the desktop web was the target of G+, and now mobile (and next, the Metaverse) determines so much functionality/design in these social products. I mean, do microformats make any sense in Discord chats? The data moves so much faster and is much more ephemeral. (twitter.com/_/status/1437434122142576641)

@MassagingMedium ↩️ What do you mean by “microformats”? Tweets? It’s true that in a Discord-like world, it’s difficult to avoid ephemerality. I think there’s a lot to be said for going back to “traditional” web, ie. email and actual websites. Disclaimer: I may be getting old. (twitter.com/_/status/1437435254567014412)

@chrismessina ↩️ See this: http://microformats.org It specified a way to write HTML to identify in-page objects in a way that was machine-readable, back when semantic HTML was all the rage. HTML has now become a kind of forced application specification format. (twitter.com/_/status/1437480673460191234)
