[social] There is a “rel=me” is there a “rel=notme”?
#
[social] I’m wanting to mark my former Twitter accounts as “not me” should somebody takeover the closed accounts.

#
[jgarber] Oooh, interesting. “nofollow” is in the ballpark even if it’s not how the value tends to be used:
#
[jgarber] https://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/link-relations.xhtml
#
[jgarber] “Indicates that the context’s original author or publisher does not endorse the link target.”
#
[jgarber] Also, hi, [social]!
#
[jgarber] But in that usage (if it’s even sensible), there’d have to be some clarifying text beyond “just” slapping `rel=“nofollow”` on some links.
#
[social] Hello [jgarber]
#
[social] I’ve always used `rel="nofollow"` for scrapers and bots, going back to when it was first used in 2006 or so.
#
[social] I”ve not thought about in the context of “this is not me”.
#
[jgarber] Yeah, concur. I was surprised to read the IANA definition.
#
[tantek] It's a good reason to tombstone accounts if possible (make them private then maybe post a tickle message once a year?)
#
[tantek] "nofollow" is kinda junk. It started out as one thing and has now been abused into something else
#
[tantek] First I heard that there's an IANA dfn. bc canonical spec started and still at http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-nofollow
#
[jgarber] Matt Cutts!
#
[jgarber] A colleague from a different era, for sure.

[tantek] [jgarber] do you remember what post you were replying to in this tweet? https://chat.indieweb.org/microformats/2021-05-20#t1621544703548300
#
Loqi [preview] [jgarber] ↩️ rel=“source” could work in one direction (from published page to source code). See: https://microformats.org/wiki/existing-rel-values (scroll wayyyyyy down) There are also some interest code-* and content-* values that I’m not as fam...

[tantek] ok that should be good enough for now and I need to go
#
[tantek] capjamesg, https://microformats.org/wiki/source-code-examples is all yours, have at it, and if you can think of other categories/groupings of links to source (code) and or repos, go for it and add subsections accordingly
#
[tantek] https://microformats.org/wiki/source-code-brainstorming#Examples do need to be re-checked and then incorporated (moved) into the -examples page
