Two anniversaries today: microformats (18y) and POSSE (11y).
Happy 18 years of https://microformats.org/ #microformats!
Most prominent this past year (again) has been the littlest #microformat that could:
rel=me — AKA #relme, now effectively the standard for #distributed #verification on the web:
* https://microformats.org/wiki/rel-me (originally introduced in 2004¹)
with support added in the past year for:
* #GitHub multiple rel-me links²
* #Wikipedia User page rel-me link³
, which is surprising since when it was conceived, the #IndieWeb community was in a period of very rapid innovation & iteration.
POSSE itself replaced a previous term, "POSE", short for “Publish Once Syndicate Everywhere”, which had only been around a year or two at most (I’m still looking for the first use of the "POSE" abbreviation for that meaning).
Since “publish once” was vague enough to include practices of publishing once on a social media silo, or in someone else’s garage⁵, we needed to clearly express the requirement to use your own site instead, first, as the source of your truth. Cross-posting to other sites & channels, is a second, optional step, ideally with a permalink linking back to your original post so viewers can easily discover and use your site.
That distinction was enough for POSSE to express a strong creator-owned-first publishing model that resonated and grew. Every time a silo shutdown⁶ at the end of its incredible journey⁷, removing posts & permalinks from the web, POSSE was there for people who were tired of losing their data, permalinks, & profiles, and wanted an alternative.

♻ Silverwizard @HippyWizard: #Wikipedia #deletionists are actively stupid and pro-ignorance, it's the only explanation ¶ via #Twitter, 'cos his #Friendica instance is down https://twitter.com/HippyWizard/status/901572815668826117

But not on #Wikipedia.

And, funny thing, I've been a #Wikipedia editor maybe longer than some #deletionists have been alive! Any 15yo with a Del key can play

@bobjonkman Yeah, #deletionists and the #deletion_wars they spark are one reason a lot of people don't contribute to #Wikipedia. I know they prevent a lot of spam and self-promotion, but they may be too aggressive sometimes.
otability / significance requirements often boil down to "I haven't heard of it before, so it must not be significant."

Annoyed by #Wikipedia #deletionists. Created article on @KWLinuxfest, tagged "request for *speedy* deletion" in 3 hrs, gone 4 hours later

@maloki It's a formal description of online "agents" (humans, machines, groups - the name is Friend Of A Friend and is designed to graph social relationships). Based on W3C "RDF" standard etc: http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/ and more on #Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOAF_%28ontology%29
My #FOAF profile document (can be used as a seed to start crawling the !fediverse): https://social.umeahackerspace.se/mmn/foaf
I can't find @chimo's example visualisation right now unfortunately.

The #Wikipedia #deletionists were the biggest complaint we had during a Q&A session in 2011 with then-Executive Director Sue Gardner. Nothing got changed, a Toronto Wikipedia users chapter was never set up, and shortly afterwards the Wikipedians mailing list was cancelled in favour of (Yahoo or Google) groups. I was never very active on Wikipedia, but after this even less so. https://www.flickr.com/photos/laurelrusswurm/albums/72157650655305999

#Wikipedia says "Android 4.4.2 Kitkat via CyanogenMod 11 (GT-S5570, GT-S5570i)". Of course it might be "too new" (resource demanding) to run smoothly, but have you tried it yet?

#Wikipedia's problem is probably that they do a really intense fund raising drive and don't…

@pskosinski The WMF develops #MediaWiki, so supporting #Wikipedia means supporting a wiki tool I use in various projects.
