Text of the page (random words):
rm for example the web irc client at https chat indieweb org does not support receiving mentions but can mention users on slack by including their name with brackets you can typically tell what platform another user is on based on their username see why do some people have brackets why is x user a bot or app and keywords for more information how to reset a slack handle slack users show up in irc and then bridged to discord with brackets around their name when there is an irc netsplit this can result in the irc bot for a slack user to rejoin the channel with a 2 or 3 after their name for example appearing in irc as tantek 2 the bot tries occasionally to reset the nick automatically but it doesn t always work you can manually trigger a reset of the slack user s irc nick by sending a private message on irc to the bot containing just nick you should almost immediately get a reply from the bot confirming differences between chat services what are the differences among chat services for interacting with the indieweb chat each of these four options is roughly equivalent from a text perspective though each may have features configurations or other niceties that differentiate them somewhat from each other depending on your chat client discord users will have a d following their names or users from slack appear with their username in brackets some usernames may have the word app after them to indicate their content is originating from another platform for cross platform notifications to work on the receiving platform one may need to include the d on screen names from discord some platforms like slack will unfurl urls or provide a link preview into the chat while others will allow wiki page names pre pended with a slash to autolink to the exact wiki webpage eg principles in some chat platforms will link to the principles wiki page slack emoji responses aren t bridged to other platforms so giving a heart or thumbs up to someone s post won t be seen unless they re also on slack slack threads are also platform specific so any threaded messages will appear without context on other platforms keywords people frequently in chat might like to be aware that many chat clients provide the ability to allow their users to be given real time notifications when either their username or other specified keywords are used in individual channels check the documentation of your chat client s for details this can be useful if one wants to engage in conversations around particular topics in chat many organizers and project developers will have turned on notifications for keywords related to projects they re actively working on or which they support other community members or volunteers may have notifications for particular topics keywords on which they re an expert and are willing to provide pointers or support keep in mind and be respectful of the fact that almost everyone in chat is an unpaid volunteer and we re all on different work and personal schedules as well as in different timezones depending on how often people are in chat and whether or not they read all the logs loqi can be helpful for communicating across time and space why do i have to wait 10 minutes on discord q why do i have to 10 minutes before i can chat on discord a we have our discord access to chat set to requiring being a member of that server for 10 minutes as the high setting of verification level to reduce the burden on the community for fighting spam this is one technique among many for blocking tons of spam which we ve seen on other discords the next lower setting for verification level medium must also be registered on discord for longer than 5 minutes is insufficient to block the very common spambot practice of create an account on a spammer discord wait 5 minutes go spam all the open channels on the list of discords you ve been able to find for crypto onlycorn whatever unless we can find willing and dependable community volunteers multiple in order to cover 24 7 timezone adjusted weekends taking vacations who can commit to 1 rapidly block spammers and 2 rapid delete and clear spam from irc chat archives and the various clients at least slack and discord then we can t bear to have only medium verification level on discord why are indieweb channels missing on libera list search q why can t i find the indieweb channels on libera s irc list search a the indieweb channels are unlisted to mitigate bot spammer auto discovery via the list command etc our channels were massively spammed by semi automatic irc bots on 2025 12 24 midday pacific time which was a major pain we have taken a number of measures defense in depth to mitigate this in the future we noticed that a couple of our newer channels which were unlisted were not attacked by the botspam we decide to unlist all indieweb chat channels to reduce chances of being discovered and hit by generic rather than targeted irc spambots is anyone around the indieweb chat is a global community and people will check in and respond at different times we encourage everyone to ask the question or share the comment they have instead of checking if anyone is around first there are some more active times and our bot loqi supports leaving messages for people with the tell command why is there no channel for x historically the number of channels in the indieweb community chat has grown organically after documented use cases time for discussion and rough consensus on new names from time to time we do add new channels generally when there is a consistent level of discussion and conversation that either makes it overwhelming or potentially unwelcoming to carry on discussions related to specific topics this is balanced against the possibility that a new chat channel would be either so quiet or infrequently used that asking questions or attempting to have a conversation there wouldn t be conducive or would result in people repeating the same question in multiple channels there is usually an annual conversation about adding new channels at the organizers meeting at the indieweb summit though other conversations do happen throughout the year or can be brought up in the indieweb meta channel email there is no mailing list this is a deliberate decision we encourage focusing on short discussions in chat and capturing incremental agreements disagreements on the wiki this also discourages long essays and repetition of arguments that can take place on email threads for more see faq is there an indieweb mailing list logs if you prefer an email like experience reading things in the past see the current logs https chat indieweb org today will display the current day s discussion log the source data of the logs served at chat indieweb org is available on github logs on your iphone home screen to add the irc logs to your iphone home screen visit the page below on your phone https chat indieweb org today bookmark follow the link on that page then from safari add that page to your home screen suggestions we have the most awesome irc logs on the web that doesn t mean they can t be even more awesome got an idea suggestion or issue to report about the logs create or comment on a github issue https github com indieweb chat indieweb org issues open source for the logs and web ui https github com indieweb chat indieweb org discord issues the discord bridge is using the go discord irc daemon if you encounter issues with the bridging itself please ping peter molnar or aaron parecki there are some ongoing issues with the discord bridge messages from discord to irc may get lost in the wire please report any problems you experience client channel descriptions this section is a stub you can help the indieweb wiki by expanding it keeping the text of channel descriptions per chat client here in the wiki so we can track their history and edit them in one place where we can try to keep them somewhat consistent across clients add to this section as

discuss past for resolved and archived discussions web making channel there is a growing broad spectrum of participants in the dev channel including lots more beginner web developers who really want to learn a bit more about html css many recent questions and may be or are intimidated by the sometimes very deep and complex dev plumbing conversations should we create a new channel that is focused primarily on entry level web makers for the curious and tinkerers who may be comfortable editing and uploading static html css files and maybe even using github static pages to publish them but are not interested in deep discussions of specifications protocols plumbing server configuration etc idea by capjamesg roughly reworded by tantek çelik examples of other communities that appeal to html css web designers developers may be useful sources for naming considerations frontend horse web making naming ideas for names of such a channel frontend 1 al abut i d vote for either indieweb frontend or the more streamlined frontend compared to the options above 0 tantek çelik there are other resources slacks etc for generic frontend web discussions and a global channel named frontend would imply that it is aiming for all of that which either loses or dilutes the indieweb focus 1 0 1 add yourself here see this for more details indieweb beginner 1 capjamesg this should be a channel to discuss your personal website and making it beginner implies this channel isn t for people who are more advanced and have questions about html css etc a category in which i certainly fall d 1 murray i feel like this is what the indieweb channel should strive to be otherwise this feels like the first channel to go to if you re new 1 joão pesce not narrow enough i think beginners should be able to participate on the indie web without being concerned about html css like using a platform pre built theme 1 aaron parecki agreed with the above comments 1 tantek çelik it s not beginner and we should always work to make main indieweb beginner friendly 1 0 1 add yourself here see this for more details indieweb frontend 0 tantek çelik i like this overall and definitely like it better than a bunch of of the other longer wordier options like html css js or web dev certainly better than beginner it s ok but changed my mind to prefer maker description should include html aria mf2 css svg at least with js for progressive enhancement perhaps 1 al abut i particularly love the word frontend it s sort of implicitly newbie friendly by focusing on the best entry path to making websites plain html is such a refreshingly back to basics type of tech yet it also leaves a lot of head room to grow from that foundation in fact i think the word frontend is strong enough to stand on its own as a channel name without a prefix that muddies the waters like indieweb or dev 1 joe crawford i think the indieweb prefix sets the stage that the things intended are with an indieweb focus and i think frontend is encompassing enough to address more than html and css which after all are incredibly rich technologies which pull in images video scripting mobile accessibility and all the rest 1 0 1 add yourself here see this for more details indieweb html css js 0 capjamesg nb there are other topics that are not html css js that someone may want to discuss my dns isn t working my site isn t loading properly choosing colour schemes for one s website layout principles like spacing etc 0 murray feels too technical of a name but i do think the simplicity has merit i also think anything css automatically covers things like spacing layout colour schemes but agree that this may not be clear 1 joão pesce might discourage people to ask some topics that are not html css js related but should be discussed 0 aaron parecki seems too specific 1 tantek çelik similar criticisms too long could should also include aria mf2 svg 1 0 1 add yourself here see this for more details indieweb maker 1 capjamesg sounds approachable and empowering 0 murray i like it but would expect it to be more about content creation artistic outputs e g writing filming photography etc 1 joão pesce sounds fun and not too technical but i tend to associate maker with maker culture i e physical things maybe web maker might also address murray s concerns 0 aaron parecki i think this is too associated with maker culture as mentioned above 1 tantek çelik agree with james this is approachable and inviting and i think some overlap with maker culture is ok i also think maker is a more inclusive than frontend on both ends for folks who may consider themselves makers but not necesarily a frontend coder and for folks that may split their making across frontend and a little backend e g tweak their cms or static site generator and want to chat about the latter 1 al abut i love the intention of this but maker is one of those vague overarching words that strikes me the same way that creator does i m constantly having to decode it to depending on the context of the platform or user type it can mean filmmaker writer full time marketer of their own personal brand etc and none of those necessarily imply the newbie friendliness or focus on frontend tech that i think can be so valuable 1 0 1 add yourself here see this for more details indieweb web dev 1 murray i like that this keeps things broad enough but also uses a term many people are familiar with doesn t require technical knowledge terms bonus that it mirrors the existing dev channel but perhaps too closely could be web development 0 joão pesce sounds a little bit too technical to me dev feels like a job making personal web sites should feel more like painting to me 1 aaron parecki this is just going to be confusing since in irc it would be indieweb web dev vs indieweb dev and then in slack discord it would be web dev vs dev and that doesn t really tell me what the difference is 1 tantek çelik also confusing web dev is vague and means different things to different people 1 0 1 add yourself here see this for more details tech help 1 cupparex i think th...
