@edheil It creates a 1 to 1 correspondence between the post on your site & your post on Twitter to make it easier for Bridgy to match and sending responses. It also makes it easier to delete copies in the future because you'll know where else on the web you've posted things.
Settings at /wp-admin/admin.php?page=syndication_links will let you set syndication targets so you can use a simple checkbox for cross posting. I particularly love that it dovetails with https:/
Frank, did you ever track the bug down that was causing this issue? I've tried that same article with a few different Micropub clients and I'm not seeing any issues with respect to Post Kinds finding and displaying the correct/expected data. In fact, the Atlantic actually shows quite a bit more data than most sites do.
Perhaps it's your shortcut not actually sending a URL for it to parse? I've also seen issues when trying to post content that contains special characters or emojis which WordPress tends to choke on and not understand. When a post has an emoji in the title or the body somewhere, it creates the post, but doesn't save any of the data in Post Kinds' context-related fields.

Beyond this several of us have tests sites we could use to test things manually if necessary. Feel free to join us in chat for help and other ideas: https:/
@benwerd Instead of Gutenberg, I'd have core support for the micropub spec and allow a free ecosystem for creating small user friendly custom apps for creating posts of all kinds.
@feedly @edwk Probably better that I help you all out with some needed functionality first. Try this out: http:/
You should keep your eyes glued to the evolving #Micropub spec as well. #ReadOn!
@Dries How awesome would it be if I could use @buffer not only to post to social media, but to post to my own website using the Micropub spec? https:/
Given the "vacation" scenario mentioned, it my be best/easiest to have this automatically default to one of the multiple options (street vs satellite, or hybrid, or other if offered) in the settings page, but give the meta box the ability to do a checkbox override of the standard. This may work best for those doing manual posts.
Alternately you could have it set as a global and automatically default to the last used version.
The tougher thing settings-wise is folks who would use micropub clients for setting location related services and therefore may not have easy direct control. Some micropub clients may or may not have toggle settings to match the plugin's, so choosing a reasonable default for this use case is probably the one to target for the near term.

@andrea It looks like you're missing the Semantic Linkbacks plugin for WordPress. That should make your facepiles have actual faces and display much better. https:/
How are you posting to Known? Using Quill or another micropub application? Do you have the WithKnown Twitter plugin installed? https:/
I'm sure many in the IndieWeb chat (Slack, IRC, Web, etc.) can give you help if you need it. There's a main room, and #WordPress and #Known specific channels. https:/
I'm out at the moment but am happy to help more later if you need it.
UI/UX: Publish default to Don't Forward unless PressForward functionality · Issue #936 · PressForward/pressforward https:/
## What happened
With PressForward installed/activated, the Site Options setting for "Seconds to redirect user to source. (0 means no redirect)" set to 1 or greater, and creating a new post (by almost any means including manually, API, micropub, and I suspect sources like the forthcoming Gutenberg interface) the drop down menu item in the Publish meta box to "Forward/Don't Forward" to item's original URL automatically defaults to "Forward".
## What I Expected
I would expect the Forward/Don't Forward setting to default to Forward _only_ when an item is created via the bookmarklet, through items entering the process via the RSS feeds, or from other PressForward specific functionality. All other posts should default to Don't Forward unless manually switched in the Meta box.
For posts created either manually or other automatic means from other sources (API, micropub, etc.) they default to Forward meaning that their URLs never resolve to view the page as they continually forward back to themselves in a never ending loop.
## Additional notes
With the Seconds to redirect set to 0, all new posts seem to be set to the default "Don't Forward" as one would expect.
