Loqi [infosec.exchange/@shellsharks] A short piece I wrote in 2019 on my love of #rss. If anything, I love it even more these days…https://shellsharks.com/an-ode-to-rss#mondayblogs #blogging #indieweb (https://infosec.exchange/@shellsharks/111125374787510565)

Loqi [werd.io/profile/benwerd] It’s no surprise to anyone that I prefer reading peoples’ long-form thoughts to tweets or pithy social media posts. Microblogging is interesting for quick, in-the-now status updates, but I find myself craving more nuance and depth.Luckily, Blogging is enjoying a resurgence...

[tantek] rel-me << A novel consuming implementation: https://werd.io/2023/subscribing-to-the-blogs-of-people-i-follow-on-mastodon
#
Loqi ok, I added "A novel consuming implementation: https://werd.io/2023/subscribing-to-the-blogs-of-people-i-follow-on-mastodon" to the "See Also" section of /rel-me https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=89390&oldid=89092
#
[tantek] Amazing! Yes a link to the library it uses would be great to know, good feedback for its maintainers
#
[tantek] Also I agree with your insights there and you're pointing at something larger: Twitter/Masto/fedi reading & writing UIs are less conducive to the kind of "more intelligent" content that a lot of us prefer to read (and write). So it's more effective to use those systems as a discovery mechanism for the more thoughtful content we want to read (and engage with)
#
[tantek] At least the curlable open social web. As you pointed out in the post.m, open or not, you didn't want to make several Mastodon API calls just to get a list of profile links

[tantek] what is http://context.ly?
#
[tantek] hmm, do periods confusing Loqi what is?
#
[tantek] what is contextly?
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "contextly" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "contextly is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
sknebel [tantek]: out of curiosity, did you write the first query including the http: part or is the slack bridge adding that?
#
sknebel (or I guess rather "is slack adding that, and the bridge bridging it")
#
[tantek] checks logs
#
[tantek] Slack (I believe the web frontend UI) is adding that http: likely as part of auto-linking text-entry
#
[tantek] as in no I did not type that "http:" in front of context. ly in the "what is" above
#
Loqi [manton.org] When we first added ActivityPub support to Micro.blog years ago, I used the phrase “Mastodon-compatible” because I was worried that “ActivityPub” would be confusing for normal people. It now seems time to adopt “fediverse” as a term throughout our UI instead. Curious... (https://www.manton.org/2023/09/25/when-we-first.html)

sknebel and I suspect that breaks the loqi search
