Today I will be posting thoughts about Aaron Swartz, who died on this day in 2013. The academic community should be much more aware of him, and challenge the massive problem of academic publishing that we are all part of. Let's make it our mission to tell people about Aaron and what he stood for.

In case folks aren't aware, the Internet Archive now has a scholar version with a huge collection of academic work available.

@dansup super! its working nicely now, just shared.

@dansup super. I appreciate it, it makes sharing much better to other platforms and even blogs. Interestingly, its not a problem on pixelfed.de

I dont want to be an annoying moaner, but please please please @dansup I know youre busy being brilliant but can you get a friend to correct the url for the og image property so I can tell all my FB friends how great pixelfed is when I share my photos?

@dansup I think sharing to FB makes you/pixelfed look brilliant - so its important for the normies :D

@dansup I just added the og code stuff - if you populate the ogL image with your dynamic url stuff, it will sort it for everyone (I think!)

Test for image sharing into other platforms. Still not working in Facebook for some reason. (I think pixelfed.de works)... Do other peoples pixelfed.social accounts work in Facebook to populate the image?

@dansup the bulk upload works well but I'd advise a couple more user messages to inform them what's happening. I found it fine but average users may get confused a bit. Also hoping Facebook Linter gets fixed on pixelfed.social so I can share more content over there. Ppl don't realise how good Fediverse apps and clients are. They need to see it. Repeatedly. Pixelfed is the best for this.

@dansup Hey, thanks for responding, and great! I really like open graph (its open source, and VERY effective). It makes it super easy to share content, and pixelfed is now doing a great job so we should share far and wide how good it is. Thanks for all your brilliant work :)

Testing Pixelfed with Facebook linter. One of the best ways of publicising how good fedi apps are is to share them in other platforms - it shows their quality, unless of course it doesn't. Pixelfed.de has configured their open graph og:image correctly, but pixelfed.social has not. This is disappointing.
