    Did the video get pulled down from YouTube? It was playing fine this morning, and I returned and it doesn't work anymore.
    Aaron Parecki
    Yep the stream is down now, but I just finished uploading today's videos individually! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZAeFn6dfHplUgfLOLEuHHAm1HdrIyaZ7

    #writethedocs also, wish your live captions were visible on the livestream! (But overall thank you for the livestream, and the feed has been clear and consistent.)
    Aaron Parecki
    I'd love to have the captions streamed on the livestream too! We'll see if we can make that happen next year.

    @aaronpk http://Webmention.io noob question. Is there anything bad someone could do with my access token? As in, should I be storing this outside my repo code?
    Aaron Parecki
    All it does is allow read access to your mentions, so if you don't mind that being public it's fine to make the key public.

    #37 Differenciate between personal backfeed and swarm coin Webmentions

    Aaron Parecki
    I'd be happy to add a toggle to disable both kinds of backfeed. I think I will keep them enabled by default for now though.

    Flash? What’s that? 😉
    I’ve never tried converting to a video format, but let me give it a swing later…

    Aaron Parecki
    Right?? I was surprised Acrobat was asking me to install flash!

    Whoever this organization is and whatever it is they're doing, they're not doing it to or with or even in sight of the most active community of people who are trying to reinvent/decentralize social media right now.
    Aaron Parecki
    ActivityPub was developed in literally the same W3C group that Webmention and Micropub were standardized in ;-) btw why no website in your twitter bio? Where can I follow your fediverse posts?

    @zarfeblong Ah, I guess this would explain why they're not communicating very well.

    They don't do email. They don't *know about* the Fediverse, or don't believe it's federated.

    They do chat.
    Aaron Parecki
    LOL I've never even seen that paragraph and it took me a really long time to find it. Also note that was written in 2013 when that was pretty much true. Feel free to update it, it's a wiki after all. https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ&diff=5788&oldid=5553

    Is there a YouTube version of this? My Adobe is telling me to install Flash and I don't really want to do that.

    Working out the glitches of my monthly updates newsletter for May, so I can send out the first copy. Hopefully it’ll all be ready in the next day or two. First step in leaving Facebook, having an alternative.

    Aaron Parecki
    Nice! I'd be curious to hear anything you learn! I did a little experiment with my own HTML newsletter from my blog posts, but I haven't gotten them to look right yet.

    @aaronpk Yes! It can post to Micropub or WordPress. It uses whatever blog you already have configured in the macOS app.

    Aaron Parecki
    That's awesome! Can't wait to try this out with my photos! I never got around to building a mass import into OwnYourGram and maybe now I won't have to!

    Instagram import in Micro.blog

    Aaron Parecki
    oh awesome! That was fast! Any chance this uses Micropub and can be used with non-microblog-hosted sites?

    @EddieHinkle I want to try Indigenous, but I’ve never managed to get it to log in. It used to say it couldn’t find any suitable rel=“me” endpoints, but I tried it again just now and I get this:

    {"error":"invalid_grant","error_description":"Redirect not on same host as client"}

    Aaron Parecki
    Sorry about that, there's an open issue on the Wordpress plugin for this, see https://github.com/indieweb/wordpress-indieauth/issues/41

    Twitter suspended my account for live tweeting, but Twitter Approved an Ad Pretending to Be Twitter - Slate Magazine http://nzzl.us/WBddVYa via @nuzzel
    Aaron Parecki
    That is amazing, and I think you need to turn your headline into an actual post and get it picked up by theverge or someone.

    @aaronpk I'm going to have to watch for these in the future. I didn't see this one until three minutes ago!

    Aw too bad, next time! Check https://indieweb.org/events

    @aaronpk Going into my settings it looks like it's already set to use Local Endpoints. Maybe that's the issue? image

    Not sure what could've change to cause this issue.

    Aaron Parecki
    Ooh that's interesting, thanks! That might be a problem with OwnYourGram and Quill not properly updating the access token when you log back in. I will try to reproduce this!

    Taking Quill (https://quill.p3k.io/) out for a quick test drive. Quill is a simple app for posting text notes to your website using micropub (see https://indiewebcamp.com/micropub). It's text only so I can't apparently embed formatted links, pictures or other rich content. If I have this configured properly it _should_ post to my blog.

    @aaronpk I've been experimenting with that for the Micro.blog for Mac app. We'll see how it goes. Seems like a better fit than web upload because of the file sizes.

    Aaron Parecki
    Awesome. If you do end up doing that, I would love to see an "Advanced" settings section so that I could put in my own Micropub endpoint details! I still need to import my Instagram photos from before I built OwnYourGram!

    For anyone who downloaded their Instagram archive, how big was the .zip file? Mine was 30 MB, but I stopped posting last year and only had a few videos. Wondering if the average size is too big for anything except as a backup.

    There's definitely an opportunity for someone to make an Instagram Archive to Micropub importer desktop app. Point it at your archive, then it'd go make Micropub requests to create posts on your site for all the old photos.
