    Idea: Micropub Browser Extension For Replies

    Aaron Parecki
    It's a great idea! I did a lightweight version of that which is a bookmarklet in my browser toolbar to Quill, where it prefills the reply URL to the page I'm on. It's how i reply to most tweets now actually! (https://quill.p3k.io)

    @aaronpk gotosocial is that easy too.

    Aaron Parecki
    It looks nice! But I'm talking about as easy as adding a DNS record without having to run my own instance at all. Are there many hosting providers for GoToSocial?

    In AP, to use your own domain as your actual identity, you pretty much have to run your own full on instance. You can get half way there with the WebFinger setup so people can search, but even that is harder than a DNS entry. BlueSky got the split between domain and underlying identity and service right.

    I'm glad to see that BlueSky supports custom domains! I have zero interest in sitting on a username in the bluesky namespace. Setting it up was roughly the same as pointing your own domain to a hosting provider, and a lot easier than Mastodon/ActivityPub!

    Some parts of Twitter may not be working as expected right now. We made an internal change that had some unintended consequences. We’re working on this now and will share an update when it’s fixed.

    I've heard so many horror stories of YouTube channels getting hacked. What are some steps to prevent this from happening with my own channel? Can I do anything beyond 2-step verification to prevent this? I have multiple channels.

    @YouTubeLiaison
    Aaron Parecki
    The majority of these hacks happen because the victim runs a program they got from a sketchy source. Could be a fake OBS download, could be a fake brand PR contact. Reading emails in gmail is fine, but don't open any attachments other than jpgs. Sadly 2fa doesn't fix this.

    Only answer emails from a Chromebook, NEVER use a Windows computer to do it, create separate sock puppet accounts for different channels and social profiles. Get a Titan security key, but realize it doesn't stop browser intercept attacks which are happening through brand deal… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1632543340729352194

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
