@zachleat says it clearly - we can’t expect places like Twitter to exist forever. But we can do that for our own identites on platforms we have a say in.

This is so very true. I remember when Geocities went down taking my website with it. That was one of the reasons I started my own. Didn’t quite learn my lesson tho and G+ happened. Never again!

It’s been almost 20 years now 😁

“Ich nehme gerade an einem Onlinetraining teil, das physikalisch in London stattfindet, zu dem ich per WebEx zugeschaltet bin. Es kommt mir gerade komplett surreal vor, dass ich zu so was früher hingeflogen bin. Nicht nur wegen des CO2, jetzt geht das halt auch komplett ohne Hose.”

Plottwist: Doesn’t even need freakin expensive and closed source WebEx.

“I remember when it was all about Geocites sites. Your page had to include at least 10,000 gifs and legally 2,000 of them had to be that dancing hamster. You also got bonus points for midi sound that couldn’t be disabled. https://t.co/GKZtphdaN7”

I remember when geocities went down. My website included. So now I roll my own. It’s almost 20 years old now. Mindboogling 😁

@ZoePionierin can you make use of such? I’ve a handfull of Li-Ion rechargeables (14.8V 4400mAh and similar) that are not of much use for me any more. Wonder what you’re up to but sounds good. No idea about its conditions. Stuff is sitting on the shelf for years.

“Riesenauto hält direkt vor mir auf dem Radweg, Frau steigt aus und will in die Bäckerei. Sie sieht, dass ich ein Foto von ihrem Auto mache und sagt: "Ich hole nur kurz ein Brot" Ich antworte: "Cool, ich mache nur kurz ein Foto" Sie findet das nicht lustig und droht mit Anwalt.”

Mir rutscht bei sowas immer direkt ein “Ich sehe Sie wurden wohl auch nie mit einer höheren Bildung gequält” raus xD

Using my blog to reply to other posts by Jan-Lukas Else (jlelse.blog)
Yesterday, I added support to my Hugo theme to use it to reply to other posts on the web using the u-in-reply-to class (here’s the documentation for h-entry) and sending a webmention after publishing the post. Now I can use my blog to comment on other IndieWeb-compatible sites, how cool is that? ?...

Why not displaying replies as well? Nobody gets such posts without context :-/

“Hey #indieweb Let me introduce you to "Joe WebUser". He's just heard this term for the first time ever. How should collective "we" inform Joe about the IndieWeb? For example, why he should care in the first place? How to participate? Lets talk.”

Well I’d suggest a nifty video. IndieWeb in 5 minutes. Don’t talk about the details or the implementation (that’s tech babble). Show em what’s in for Joe. Solid reasons like displaying a feed the way you like it and not how $silo AI decided.

bin/ingest export 'list' object has no attribute 'get' · Issue #6 · cleverdevil/ditchbook (GitHub)
When I run bin/ingest export I get the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "bin/ingest", line 24, in for post in posts.get('status_updates', []...

Follow-Up: Sadly no longer compatible.

Looks like FB changed it’s export format:

[{"timestamp": 1566833332,"attachments": [],"data": [{"post": ""},{"update_timestamp": 1566833332}],"title": ""}]

This is not what Ditchpost expects.

The posts file is also no longer posts/your_posts.json but posts/your_posts_01.json
