Can we just give extension policy a rest for a while? It's been a long summer and I'd like to do things ad hoc for a while.

For real. The amount of time spent trying to centralize a process for extensions to a decentralized protocol is astounding.

Ok #indieweb friends. What do you do about 404-ing webmentions?

@aaronpk Especially curious for your thoughts on this WRT http://webmention.io.

+@adactio @jgarber @t

Generally, 404 isn't enough to assume the author intended to delete, so I still display them. If you want to actually delete a webmention, then 410 is the better approach. See also: https://indieweb.org/deleted

@aaronpk ,
regarding #habanero #hotsauce ,
SO MUCH Habanero?
OMG. For how much sauce is this?
Can you share the recipe please.

I need to post an updated recipe, but it's more or less this: https://aaronparecki.com/2017/07/21/26/habanero-sauce

It makes a little over half a gallon of hot sauce!

@aaronpk Is it possible to remove a microcast from microcast.club?

If you remove the link to microcast.club from your microcast's website then it'll get dropped from the directory in a day or so.

@aaronpk Clicking on the image showed the correct one, so presumably it's a caching issue ¯_(ツ)_/¯

maybe reused an imageview in the app? post that to the #bugs channel?

i mean, https://indieweb.org/h-card mentions exactly one consumer, which is telegraph, which you wrote and which is the one you're typing that reply from, right? http://microformats.org page lists 4 implementations http://microformats.org/wiki/h-card#Implementations - of which 1 is dead and 1 only produces.

aha that explains the confusion then. The wiki pages clearly need updating because there are a *lot* more consumers than that.

there's discussion in the thread, but the gist is that stuff like h-card is a decade-old spec without a single fully-formed consumer. mostly the same with h-entry. but instead of de-emphasizing these specs, they're at the top of the 'adopt indieweb' bits https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started

That said, I totally agree that specs without implementations are dangerous. I didn't bother adding Microformats to my website until there was a clear consuming use case for the additional markup. But that was like 7+ years ago now.

I still don't understand where this "without a consumer" is coming from, there are plenty of consumers of those, including the app I am typing this reply from.

but even something like h-card - it predates the webmention spec by a solid decade, but i struggle to find any implementation or usecase served that isn't just webmentions

That’s tricky. hCard (Microformats 1) was/is indexed by Google. The Webmention spec (published in 2017) was published after years of implementations working in the wild. Before Webmention existed, h-card/h-entry was used with Pingback to send comments back and forth.

i'm kind of sold on webmention - been silently using http://webmention.io for a while, but the volume hasn't convinced me to display the results onsite. i'm not sure that it relies on h-card/entry, though, and the many many http://schema.org schemas don't have consumers

Wait were you referring to schema.org vocabs in your comment about pushing specs that don’t have implementations? Because yeah I agree completely on that front.

Congratulations Aaron. Was your talk recorded? I’d love to watch it.

Thanks! It was recorded, but will take a little while for them to publish all the videos from the conference. The videos will end up here eventually! http://qs18.quantifiedself.com/program/

I’ve decided to leave Micro.blog for now. I wrote up a very long post about why I’m leaving, in case you’re interested. I’ll be here to chat about it for a while, if anyone would like to.

That's a great writeup with a lot of good points! I particularly like your thoughts on API design!

Web app tip: Don't use a .io tld unless you want everyone deciding the tld is part of the product's name even though you never, ever use it anywhere in any branding or anything. Argh 😡

fwiw I usually intentionally call it exist.io because just "exist" won't help people be able to find it.

@aaronpk I think that's a fair answer if you buy that owning the content makes the community "the whole internet", but it's not. There's an awkward split between the blog content itself and the community of users interacting on micro blog. The latter will always exist separately to individual blogs and thus needs to give users (some level of) control.

That's also true. I forget about that because I always reply to people on micro.blog from my own website via my reader rather than from the micro.blog app/website.
