@audreywatters @mtechman @hypervisible @onewheeljoe Even with the script blocking @hypothes_is it is still possible to annotate hackeducation.com. Fortunately, though public annotations appear in the Chrome extension as existing, they don't physically appear on the site itself and need to be searched for manually to be found. I was able to do this with only just a few minutes of work, and could probably hack something more significant with some time/effort.

Hypothes.is should really try to do a better job of preventing abuse in these types of situations so writers needn't worry about providing abusers the ability to use a writer's own platform to harass them. Perhaps borrowing the NIPSA concept from Flickr for flagged annotations and/or accounts? (NIPSA is an acronym for "Not In Public Site Areas", and an admin feature of Flickr that allows their support staff to mark an account such that posts from it will not be shown in search results and other similar public views of posts.)

 

@onewheeljoe @dogtrax @remikalir But I'll bet Vonnegut didn't let you annotate his personal copy! And when did you buy her copy?

 
 
 

Doug, I suspect that you may be using something like OwnYourGram to attempt to import photos to WordPress. While it does generally work pretty well, you might also appreciate https://wordpress.org/plugins/dsgnwrks-instagram-importer/ which is a VERY solid WordPress specific service that does much the same thing. Since it was written specifically for WordPress it's got a lot more finely tuned settings for improving how things display on your site. Perhaps better, it also has the ability to import ALL of your prior Instagram posts.

@Tamaracks There's no need to explicitly set a Post Format in WordPress as it will automatically be set based on the Post Kind setting in Post Kinds on initial publish. (You can also tweak them by hand if necessary, so for example when using the `note` kind it automatically sets the Post Format to `aside`, but I prefer to use `status`, so I replaced `aside` with `status` just under 'note' => array( in the code here: https://github.com/dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds/blob/master/includes/class-kind-taxonomy.php

I also think @dshanske fixed the proper kind settings on micropub in the latest development branch of post kinds as well. https://github.com/dshanske/indieweb-post-kinds/issues/87 (Hopefully this should take care of checkins as well.)

 

@jaketapper No wonder "facts" and "truth" are so difficult for them, they haven't even gotten the alphabet down yet.

@tamaracks If you push the code you have for setting the format to @dshanske I suspect he could roll it into Post Kinds (which also automatically sets the Post Format) so that it's covered for everyone else who may have this issue.

Interestingly these "loves" (and I suspect other reactions) from Facebook aren't parsed as webmentions (I'm guessing by semantic linkbacks plugin) as the comment_type in wp_comments is empty rather than "webmention", but they are assigned a semantic_linkbacks_type of "reply". I suspect that this is why they're not categorized in the webmention section. I'm not sure what the bug is for giving all the names the same URL....

@jimmymansaray I'm sure it's not an Independent Publisher issue. You might also ask Colin where he got it and if it had actually worked for him. I think I saw that snippet floating around last week. I think Colin has ultimately changed to the following instead: https://github.com/colin-walker/wordpress-blank-title.

It adds the kind of date/time stamp you're looking for (or is modifiable with some research) and has the added benefit that micro.blog should ignore the time stamp and just import the_content() of your status update instead.

Honestly, I'd recommend going without a title if you can manage it. If you need something in your admin UI, you might try this suggestion as well: http://boffosocko.com/2017/05/04/title-less-status-updates-for-micro-blog/

I notice that https://baty.blog/ (also https://micro.blog/jack) is also using Independent Publisher to do somewhat the same thing.

 

I'm curious what you did to strip the titles from RSS?
