Threads.net now supports the #indieWeb #microformats #openStandard rel-me for distributed ✅ verification!¹ (supported since 2023-08-09)

My Threads profile already had my domain since it was created from my Instagram profile.

View source on https://www.threads.net/@tantek and you can see the #relMe on a link tag:
 <link rel="me" href="https://tantek.com/" />

Instructions to add yours:
* Add your domain to your Threads profile "Link" field. That’s it.
Longer explicit steps: https://indieweb.org/rel-me#Threads

Thanks especially to @timothychambers.net (@tchambers@indieweb.social,  @timothyjchambers@threads.net) for requesting rel-me support² which one Threads engineer “decided to hack it together” one night!³

You can view Tim’s profile @tchambers@indieweb.social for a real world example of a Mastodon profile showing a green text ✅ verified link to a Threads profile.

Tim made several good points in his request:

“… a small, but disproportionately helpful addition would be to support this "rel=me" feature in your profiles. That could launch well before full ActivityPub, & show the first real integration to open social web standards”

Microformats (and IndieWeb) standards in general are deliberately designed as small, incremental building blocks which are disproportionately helpful as Tim says.

These small building blocks which directly enable user features are usually something a web developer can code at least some (often complete!) support for in one day/night which makes them particularly appealing as a way to rapidly support open #socialWeb standards used by the #fediverse and beyond.

Incrementally implementing microformats & IndieWeb standards also demonstrates good will and good intentions for supporting the #openWeb.

On the Road Again

Wow, YouTube has gone ahead and replaced home page recommendations with a shame pop-up if you disable watch history.

I’ve personally tried to quit looking at YouTube’s recommended videos in the past. I guess this is their passive aggressive way of giving me what I want??

Are you returning to office during eternal Caturday?

Across the Spider-Verse in the Home Theater 🕷️

I’m trying out Obsidian and getting back into Mark Forster’s task management explorations, specifically “Final Version Perfected.” I’ve used that method off-and-on and I think it works well as long as I can stick to it. I’m also hoping that regular note-taking will help me put together more blog posts. I’ve had plenty of ideas float by, but if I don’t capture them somewhere, they’re not likely to crystalize into a blog post.

Throwback to 2007-04-28 at Radio Radio for the Wolfy, Cabin, and Little Voice show with Isha and Allison. I think this is one of my first pictures with Isha. This was only a couple weeks before my heart incident too. Whoa.

We were so young. I miss going to shows with Indianapolis friends.
