@RamenCatholic Show them the Internet and how to access it.

@pfefferle @obenland @mattwiebe I thought the import feature was new.

I love your plugin.

Q. Do you have a tip jar where we can show appreciation with cold hard cash?

If a nerd won the lottery, how much would they need to buy Wizards of the Coast from Hasbro?

@pfefferle I thought you might be interested to know that I made a child theme of Sempress. There's only one change: the extra fields per user show up on the author page.

Here's a GitHub link if you want it: https://github.com/lordmatt/matt-sempress

@Gargron @randahl @renchap There's a whole bunch of cool controls there. Nice - I didn't know that existed.

I don't mean to be a demagogue, but is America a communist state yet?

If you were to ignore my instructions not to use it, this #PHP script will probably rickroll Trump and Elon's weird new departments.

Purely for education you understand: https://gist.github.com/lordmatt/547319f0ca4d8231c1837cafaef73dd7

@Gargron, I'm a latecomer to all this, but man, oh man, do I love it here. You have had a hand in building something special that I feel most fortunate to partake in.

Hello @pfefferle I have a question about your wonderful ActivityPub plugin. This is not a priority, please only answer if it is convenient.

I'd like to alter the way it processes the ActivityPub object/thing content so that it does not process the Syndication Links plugin's content (as this looks messy). Where do I need to look to get a handle on doing that? I'm assuming there is a filter or something.

Thanks for your hard work. I love your plugins.

@pfefferle Here is an example, if you'd like to take a look: https://punning.isbrill.com/ (sidebar right hand side)

@pfefferle From others? No. From me, strangely little. Once I found the static method I needed and did a few print_r() calls to figure out the return values, the whole thing worked as smooth as a very smooth thing. Browsing your code was a pleasure.

Today I took a dip into @pfefferle's ActivityPub code and added Fediverse followers to the votes for brills on isBrill.com.

I think of https://openmentions.com as the #IndieWeb equivalent of hashtags for content. Especially #blogs.

@pfefferle The sub-directory fix is awesome. I thought I had done something wrong.

Smashing.

@br00t4c Ah yes, that same "satanic" teaching of that Jesus bloke.

Thank you @pfefferle for willingly sharing some of your time to help me with a really rare edge case where "the other site refuses to play nicely" was the one-in-a-million error.

@pfefferle I accidentally stumbled on the problem. I tried to ping another site I run from node.lordmatt.co.uk. That too gave the same reply.

So I took a look at the backend of node.lordmatt.co.uk. That's when I saw a notice about an expired anti-spam license. Disabled plugin. Everything works again.

I'd assumed it was WebMention as that's where the error was. Only now do I recall that 500s were recently changed to 403s. 4.5 hours spent re-learning to look at the simple stuff first.

@pfefferle I suspect the problem may be with node.lordmatt.co.uk as other implementations also reply forbidden to it.

@pfefferle OpenMentions has no blocked comment keys - the only limit is first-time commenters are held for moderation.

This might be the strangest brick wall I've run into for a while. Everything looks correct and yet...

@pfefferle It seems to be between the two. Another pinged as normal. I've tried two targets on OpenMentions with two sources from node.lordmatt.co.uk and both gave me a Forbidden which showed up in the access logs.
