Welcome to #NAFO @DJfromAnnapolis and here is your @fellarequests thank you for your long term support of #Ukraine, the numerous donations, and bringing the struggle to freedom to your radio show
I always rewatch this on Martin Luther King day. The life and legacy of Martin Luther King is a topic too complicated for me to discuss in a simple note, but a Jewish and an African American group harmonizing together is not.
Anyone else feels this too? Like Governments are pressuring media to keep the extent of Russian infiltration and influence campaigns out of the news? Anyone have any evidence, research or readings? Or is paranoia growing?
Although there continues to be a corporate media blockade to the acknowledgement of links between global chaos and Russian active measures, in @BylineTimes authors of thi...
When you publish on your #IndieWeb site, you can decide afterwards where to distribute your content, and when. Figure out how you want to fit into the network of sites & instances.
We call this POSSE — for Publish on your Own Site, then Syndicate Elsewhere.^1

By prioritizing your own site, you decide whether (and when) you want to syndicate your posts (or a particular post) to a feed, to a fediverse, to a social media silo or silos, and/or to email like a newsletter.

You can make it as simple or as detailed as you want. It’s up to you.

Choose deliberately. Change your mind when things change.
 
You can opt out of any destination, either by not opting-in, i.e. explicitly not sending your posts to them, or blocking them if necessary.

Here are a few of the destination decisions I’ve made, and reasons why.

You can delay sending a post to an RSS or Atom feed, say 10 minutes after the time of publication, to give yourself a chance to edit your post, fix typos or links, before a classic feed reader retrieves and perhaps caches your post.

You can further delay sending to known uneditable destinations, like Twitter or email, to give yourself even longer to make further edits, corrections, updates, or improvements based on feedback to your original post.

Some destination decisions may depend on the type of post.

When you post a reply to someone else’s post, in addition to sending a webmention to that other post, it makes sense to also distribute it to where that other post was originally distributed, or a subset thereof, threading your POSSE reply with their original post POSSE copy.

https://indieweb.org/reply#POSSE_a_reply

For example, if you reply to someone’s IndieWeb note, and they’ve POSSEd that note to Twitter, you should POSSE your reply to Twitter as well, threading it with their POSSE copy, if you’re still using Twitter that is. If they did not POSSE their original note to Twitter, there may be reasons to POSSE your reply to Twitter anyway, if your reply makes sense there on its own.

https://indieweb.org/Twitter#POSSE_Replies_to_Twitter

Some destinations have content limitations^2, and you may want to take that into consideration when authoring your content, or not.

For example, you may want to more carefully copy-edit the first 256 (for now) characters of a note if you plan to POSSE to Twitter, so that the content that makes it through makes sense as an introduction, or a summary, or a hook, and perhaps has discovery features like hashtags.

https://indieweb.org/Twitter#POSSE_Notes_to_Twitter

You can use that POSSE tweet text length limitation strategically, placing content after that 256 character cut-off that you may want to edit or expand in an update, or content Twitter may mess-up, like @-domain mentions I described yesterday (day 14).

When you publish a multiphoto^3 post, if you’re POSSEing to Twitter, you may want to re-order your photos to choose which four photos show up in your POSSE tweet, e.g. if you happen to be using Bridgy Publish to cross-post your photos to Twitter. You can always re-order your original multiphoto post after POSSEing it.

If you’re POSSEing photos to Instagram, since you can only do that manually, there’s no need to edit your original to fit Instagram’s 10-photo limitation, or 2200 characters caption limit, or 30 hashtags limit, or 20 person-tags limit.

https://indieweb.org/multi-photo#How_to_POSSE

Or you can reconsider what if anything you get from syndicating to Twitter or Instagram.

Are people still seeing and interacting with your posts there? Are your friends?

If & when social media algorithms deprioritize your original posts in favor of showing more ads, you can deprioritize posting to social media.

If & when your friends quit social media silos^4, you can quit posting copies of your posts to those social media silos.

You decide what content goes where, when, why, and can change your decisions any time you want.

POSSEing to social media was always a stopgap.

As social media silos self-destruct, you can stop syndicating to them.

Some people are somehow still on Twitter. Why?

Are you getting into the game during eternal Caturday?

Craig Hockenberry, writing on his long-lived personal blog:

Well, it happened.

We knew it was coming.

A prick pulled the plug.

Over the weekend, Tweetbot, Twitterrific, and every other popular third-party Twitter client was unceremoniously banned. It’s a stupid petty move on Twitter’s part, executed in an impressively stupid petty way. I imagine it’s the final nail in the coffin for several high-profile Twitter hangers-on.

Most of the people I follow, though? They’re long gone.

Previously^1 I asked "How should we @ someone [on the #IndieWeb]?" & suggested we use @-domain. With some web spelunking, the earliest such use I found was 2013-03-26 (~10y ago!) by @eschnou.com, maybe^2 the first #siteToSite #federated #atMention!

 "And my first ever #indieweb pingback goes to @tantek.com, @aaronparecki.com and @waterpigs.co.uk ! Yes, I can now federate... well.. if I can manage to get it to interop :-)"

Though the original post disappeared in a site update (and was unarchived), you can see it on the Internet Archive of @eschnou.com’s #IndieWeb tag page: https://web.archive.org/web/20130609045145/http://eschnou.com/tag/indieweb#2013Mar26

At the time, Barnaby (@waterpigs.co.uk) did confirm receiving that @-mention on his site via Pingback (this was before Webmention was a thing^3): https://waterpigs.co.uk/notes/1199/ (https://twitter.com/BarnabyWalters/status/316664943820812289)

@eschnou.com also asked in the IndieWeb chat if @aaronparecki.com had gotten his @-domain mention: https://chat.indieweb.org/2013-03-26#t1364333721000000
You can see at the bottom of that chat log that he did.

I myself started using @-domain in my posts ~4 years later in a 2017 reply: https://tantek.com/2017/345/t1/aaronpk-paid-thanks (https://twitter.com/t/status/940382393097228288) though only when the same person controlled the domain and the Twitter @-name of the first part of the domain name before the "." (which was/is not many people. Workaround: use other @-domain mentions in posts after the POSSE tweet cut-off).

I think that was my earliest use because two days after that post I added @-domain auto-linking to the https://tantek.com/github/cassis (@cassisjs) "auto_link" function https://github.com/tantek/cassis/commit/0e8e6270c0a3b600423c283f59b5d22c3648d59a (https://twitter.com/cassisjs/status/941107922318381057), likely having already tested it in production on my own site with that post.

I’m still #testingInProduction the updates noted in ^3, notably "https:" for all @-mentions (@-name @-domain @-@) and hope to merge them into the repo soon. Aside: both that and the #testInProduction hashtag have hilarious Twitter results^4.

Does anyone know of any other auto-linkers that support linking @-domain in plain text to an https URL of that domain? Extra internet points if they also support @-@ auto-linking.

^2 I’m curious if StatusNet, OStatus, or OpenMicroBlogging had an explicit syntax for site-to-site @-mentions, whether any of them resembled @-domain, and is there evidence of their earliest @-mention usage (if any) still visible on the web (or Internet Archive) cc: @evanp.me (@evan@prodromou.pub)
