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 platform https://www.kevinmarks.com/partialsilos.

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 inline chat in many cases https://github.com

Read the post - previously deleted tweets showed the blockquote fallback. Now they get a useless injected blank iframe, removing the blockquote from the dom.

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 site. Changing the existing one is leaving holes all over the

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 are dependent on them remaining committed to their

It's not so much that they take ownership, more that they choose who can see it, and can remove it arbitrarily from the web.

Refusing to use attributes in this kind of *ML and using <param> 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 oddly.

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 posting on our own sites was a deliberate alterna

It is a very ugly term; 'eat what you cook' is clearer. The point is that rather than theorising about 'what people want' you should build tools that solve your own problems, and practice with your own site first. This w

If you have your own website, you are indieweb. Having your own domain name is better as then you can decide to change hosting later. After that there are a series of protocols you can adopt to fit in with other indieweb people. Have a look
