Welp, the Instagram gods decided that this comment was spam/abusive and immediately removed it. My first guess is the fist emoji, but the common meaning of that is “solidarity,” especially in the context of an activism post like that. I tried to comment again without that emoji but got a generic “try again later” message. Maybe the automated system thinks it’s a misleading comment about IG features, but it’s not.

Today I tried commenting on someone else’s Halloween costume and got a more extensive message:

“Try again later. We restrict certain activity to protect our community. Based on your use, this action will be unavailable for you until 2023-10-31. Tell us if you think we made a mistake.

Learn more in account status (link)”

Of course that learn more link doesn’t work and only takes me back to the homepage. Seems pretty excessive for leaving a friendly comment on a mutual’s post — not even a stranger.

🎃 Nightmare Before Christmas Live at the Bowl 🎃

I realized this month has been 6 years of me living in San Diego. That’s wild. That’s the longest I’ve lived in one place since I left Indianapolis in 2011. Of course it hasn’t felt that long because I still feel stuck in time in 2020.

coding at #IndieWebCamp Nuremberg, completed the following projects:

0.0: fixed the https://chat.indieweb.org/ footer to drop #Matrix as an access option since their bridge is disabled (#IndieWeb IRC, Discord, and Slack still work great), and provide an explicit link/encouragement for filing issues

0.5: investigated IndieWeb wiki issues (mobile presentation), possible fixes, and documented them: https://indieweb.org/MediaWiki_customizations#Issues

0.7: add HTML <search> element support to my home page and permalinks as nerdsniped by @adactio.com (@adactio@mastodon.social @adactio); expanded to <search role=search> to also support folks using older browsers / screenreaders that only support #ARIA 1.1.

0.8: replaced my incorrect use of HTML attribute aria-hidden="true" (on my links to #BridgyFed) as pointed out by @jkphl.is (@jkphl@mastodon.social @jkphl) and https://sonja-weckenmann.de (@sweckenmann@mas.to), with hidden="from-humans". Since other values are allowed on the hidden attribute and treated as hidden="hidden", the "from-humans" value communicates a subtle semantic that the element is intended for consumption by robots & crawlers, like #Bridgy.
0.8.1 Update: created a pull-request (https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/pull/701) to update the BridgyFed documentation markup examples to use the 'hidden' attribute accordingly as well.

Time is up for today’s IndieWebCamp Create Day so my remaining projects will have to wait.

Looking forward to the next two days at #IndieWebCamp Nürnberg @tollwerk.de (@tollwerk@mastodon.social @tollwerk) of personal site demos, brainstorming sessions, and making, creating, & hacking things from UX to protocols to improve & interconnect our websites, with each other ( #Webmention ), #fediverse ( #BridgyFed & #ActivityPub ), and others ( #POSSE #backfeed ).

Still a few spots if you’re in town or can hop on a train and join us Saturday & Sunday!

Hello ...ladies.

I don’t remember how to do introduction posts, so there ya go, Bluesky.

This is a good writeup on some sneaky vulnerabilities in OAuth implementations, but ultimately is just a simple access token injection attack: https://salt.security/blog/oh-auth-abusing-oauth-to-take-over-millions-of-accounts
