I cleaned up the duplicates after importing my Instagram photos. There was no shortcut. I had posted in both places or used OwnYourGram since launch. It only took an hour. A very pleasant hour, looking at favorite photos, now liberated from their silo.

The end goal is not for every individual blogger and website owner to add HEAD tags to their websites, it’s that the tools that allow people to use the websites support adding the HEAD tags automatically. Like micro.blog. If you add Twitter/GitHub in the settings, it automatically applies rel=“me” to the links. As a user you don’t have to understand the technical aspect. That is the end goal, platform/software owners understand the tech stuff and users use the platforms/softwares

from a strictly legal GDRP compliance perspective, we (including a lawyer) still tentatively concluded that Bridgy may be exempt from much or all of the GDPR because it’s non-commercial, it only handles fully public data, and that data is generally only sent to personal web sites. details..

the ethics, of course, are an entirely separate question. i myself haven’t addressed them at all yet, but you have thoughtfully and deeply here. thank you for your perspective!
