Webmention

@xolotl @indiewebcamp And a nice attempt at a well marked up official RSVP on your site no less!

@mattmaldre I suspect it won't change much, since they're primarily used/displayed in comment sections. The bigger effect is going to be on products like Post Kinds Plugin, which may (hopefully) provide even easier modularization for injecting microformats into one's site.
@EddieHinkle @jackyalcine @wilkieii Almost as a joke on Facebook functionality a while back, I posted this voting related post: https://boffosocko.com/2016/11/08/i-voted/
There are some interesting suggestions and use cases here as well: http://microformats.org/wiki/vote-links

Episode 4: Webmentions and Privacy

Something like this is possible even without webmention specific support. Essentially it could be done using microformats2 similar to how Events and RSVPs work over webmention. https://indieweb.org/rsvp

I’m attending IndieWeb Summit 2018!

What a great piece! I think it’s an interesting challenge. The lack of “likes” and such do make the IndieWeb feel more lonely. And yet, when I DO receive real responses (thoughtful, text written responses), it provides a MUCH bigger social satisfaction then I received even from 50 likes.

As I started reading your post I thought “we need to do more to encourage likes on the IndieWeb”, by the end I thought “we need to do more to help people seamlessly reply to others” I think high quality engagement is the key to beating Facebook. Micro.blog has already provided me with much more substantive responses then I get from friends and family on Facebook.

Commenting

I have attempted to submit this Feedly feedback on their Uservoice forum. In the past I have had issues with the feedback not appearing, so I am making a copy here. The syndication link below is the URL they provided, but is not publicly visible currently.

When I send a WebSub notification (previously known as PubSubHubbub) for my Atom feed, the whitespace around links appears collapsed, so linked words run up against words around them. The feed is https://gregorlove.com/articles.atom. You can see this in Feedly with recent posts in my feed.

For this post, though (https://gregorlove.com/2017/05/ten-years-on/) I neglected to send a WebSub publish notification, so it appears Feedly did a regular poll of the feed and handled the whitespace correctly. It appears it's only for WebSub publish notifications that Feedly collapses the whitespace like this.

Webmention for ProcessWire Update

Privacy

I have been thinking about this issue a lot. GDPR seems to be everywhere, and I’m not sure that storing information on interactions is a privacy issue, but I want to respect people’s concerns. GDPR or not, I do not think this is a use case the law intended to prevent.

You use the WordPress suite of plugins. And being as I’m as regular contributor, there are a few ideas I’ve floating that I think are a good start, and invite you to contribute more.

  1. Add text to the Webmention form that explains how to use it to delete a mention. Since the form can be used without supporting webmentions on your own site, this is something that should be made clear.
  2. Add Setting to not display avatar/photo
  3. Add ability to edit mentions, to correct inaccurate data.
  4. Add setting to store more/less data.
  5. Add privacy policy to plugin for those who install it and add text/link to webmention form.
  6. Explain how to request a takedown of information.
  7. Periodically poll/refresh sources.
  8. Allow a different level of processing for ‘native’ webmentions vs backfeed run through a service like Bridgy.

This doesn’t solve all of the problems necessarily, but I think these ideas are a good faith effort in that direction.

@FedericoCulloca I haven't heard the episode yet, but I actually created a pronunciation page this past week for just this eventuality! If you know where Torvalds' original is, it would be great to document.

Just noticed @phhhoto shut down last year. https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/20/phhhoto-shuts-down/. Another #silo to remove from my homepage.
