Loqi [@simoncarstensen] Starting work on IndieAuth for Jottit today. Building authorization and token endpoints so people can publish from any Micropub client. Love how the IndieWeb specs are small and focused: each one does one thing well, and they compose beautifully together.... (https://mastodon.social/@simoncarstensen/116000740726288316)

gRegor what is powRSS
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "powRSS" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "powRSS is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
gRegor huh, I swear I was just gardening something about it the other day
#
[tantek] we can list it under bots or spam or something. doesn't deserve its own page
#
gRegor powRSS is /planet#powRSS
#
Loqi ok
#
gRegor It's a planet
#
[artlung] Never ascribe to malice what can be explained by ignorance.
#
[artlung] And yes, it's a planet. As we proselytize indieweb it's incumbent on us all to explain the nuance of the indieweb hashtag.
#
[tantek] a weirdly anthropomorphized one, with self-third-person language like "Spotted on powRSS" "Discovered on powRSS" or my favorite: "Crossed my path on powRSS" — like really, "my path"?
#
[tantek] that's not ignorance, that's someone deliberately writing deceptive copy
#
gRegor powrss.com is the planet. Mastodon syndication of it might be noisy, but I wouldn't describe it as spam.
#
[tantek] I would describe it as spamming the indieweb hashtag
#
[artlung] tantek, attempt generosity and the benefit of the doubt please.
#
gRegor > powRSS is a public RSS feed aggregator with a mission to support the open, independent web.
#
gRegor The feed features daily updates with the latest from independent blogs and websites to help you discover a different side of the web.
#
[tantek] [artlung] given the prevalence of bots on such mediums, there is little benefit of the doubt left to hand out
#
[artlung] try anyway.
#
[tantek] it's adding noise to the #indieweb-stream and thus it should be muted/blocked there. if anyone has had any success with getting hashtag spammers to stop spamming a hashtag, please go ahead and attempt outreach
#
[tantek] if they stop spamming the hashtag then unmuting/unblocking is reasonable
#
[tantek] there's an email on their about page if anyone wants to try getting in touch and asking them to stop spamming hashtags on their Mastodon: https://powrss.com/about
#
gRegor There's a difference between "this post came from an indieweb site", which is what powRSS is, vs. "this post is specifically relevant to the indieweb.org community that might see it in the stream channel"
#
[tantek] they're also spamming the "blogging" hashtag, like no those posts are not about blogging.
#
[tantek] nevermind that hashtagging every post with "#blog" makes the hashtag superfluous and thus unnecessary
#
[tantek] to be clear, powRSS site is fine, perhaps even a good thing for discovery! the powRSS Mastodon cross-posts that spam hashtags are the problem.
#
[artlung] powRSS++
#
Loqi powRSS has -2 karma over the last year
#
gRegor The author even gave props to [artlung] for your feed patterns page: https://enocc.com/2026/01/23/powrss-mastodon-account.html
#
[artlung] I used my list just today for a very infrequent substack!
#
[tantek] It's a good list [artlung] ++
#
[tantek] [artlung] ++ retry bc the darn mobile app client insists on putting a space after an @-name on Slack--
