    The Microsoft trigger was `text-justify: newspaper` and intended for fully-justified narrow columns. I don't think it made it to Edge.

    Indeed - every silo wants you to use their own specific markup, but even then they choose what to show. I made a post a while back that gave a different summary on every silo platf…

    Both Mastodon and Tumblr have microformats support built in. Twitter and Facebook used to, but they decided they'd rather be silos than protocols

    That's not exactly accurate. The wiki has been edited recently, and change discussions are now done through github issues before updating the wiki, as that is more convenient than …

    You're wrong. The tweet embeds decorate a blockquote of the tweet - read the article. The now code removes that blockquote from the DOM.

    We trusted them because they were committed to being part of the wider web, and as you can see from Ben Ward's tweet at the time, took that seriously.

    If they want to change this, they can have a new version of the widgets script that makes it clear that it will edit your site, and switch to that in future embed links from the si…

    It's not a dogma so much as a warning from experience. If you post to your own site first you do retain control. If you rely on the silos' api to extract it back to your site you a…

    Refusing to use attributes in this kind of *ML and using instead makes this a mess to parse safely. I imagine this will be read as HTML and the params will show up in the document …

    The specific reference to email was based on frustration with endless mailing list bikeshedding, especially on 'standards' mailing lists. Building a community around irc, wikis and…

    It's a very informal organisation - you are part of the indieweb if you have your own site. If you want to talk about it, there's https://chat.indieweb.org/ (which bridges to IRC, …
