@Flipboard Very similar to what eg Google+ did with rel-author and what I worked on implementing into Flattr back the as well. Not sure why rel-author isn’t used 🤔 microformats.org/wiki/rel-auth…

It’s sad to not see more cooperation between #Mastodon / #Fediverse and #IndieWeb

The latter is focused on social semantics for the web and the former for social semantics for ActivityPub – when the two overlap they should coordinate – and articles are very much web pages and something the #IndieWeb knows best practices around

Thanks, wonderful idea!
Let's implement this for research articles as well. Could be implemented for anything which is being linked by its DOI-address? 🤔
In the long run: once @ORCID_Org offers a specific field for researchers' Fediverse handles (like what we at @tibosl already did for VIVO), that handle can be fetched by means of DOI/ORCID metadata.

@d2ns @Lambo @tibosl Initial thought from the @PublicKnowledgeProject dev team is that this would be pretty straight-forward to do, but the feature is currently limited to one account for each publisher, which won't work just yet.

@juancommander @d2ns @Lambo @tibosl @PublicKnowledgeProject We've also prototyped ORCID Single Sign-On (SSO) integration for Bonfire, along with a feature that automatically fetches and displays research papers from a user's ORCID account in a dedicated tab on their profile. More here: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/open…
Currently co-designing more features with a network of scientists @open_science and keen to collaborate with existing efforts 😀

@gamingonlinux Mastodon is getting the crap beaten out of it by Threads and BluSky because they have basic features that we're missing, like onboarding and quote posts.

Helping journalists (most of whom aren't even on this platform) get credit for articles where they can already put their mastodon handle at the bottom seems to me to be a strange allocation of resources.

@LouisIngenthron Well, it's not a race, and Threads is connecting up with the Fediverse so they will work together anyway.

As for the feature, it's actually incredibly useful and makes it even easier to find people to follow. There's no downside to it, and it's just useful to have. I don't see the problem with it.

Journalists are, of course, entirely without ego. And none have ever felt the need to build a personal following just ICE.
But somehow I think this feature could be a winner.

Here's an extremely quick-and-dirty way to get this new Mastodon author OpenGraph meta tag on your #WordPress site.

Note that this currently only works for pre-approved domains, so you won't see your little author icon chip just yet.

Fediverse creator OpenGraph WordPress meta - Pastebin.com

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

This is a great feature.

You should also add a warning under the links of inadequate media: "this media outlet is funded by a totalitarian state and often spreads disinformation, read euvsdisinfo.eu/learn/" or something like that. Of course, the administrator (or user) can disable such notifications.

We also need mobile apps to publish posts when the user has a bad internet connection. Now the post can get stuck loading and disappear forever

Hopefully this encourages independent journalists who use Threads now to join an actual Mastodon instance. As it stands now, the people who operate Threads filter the content from some journalists they personally don't like. Seth Abramson is an example of one they have silenced. His posts don't make their way to Mastodon anymore.

Zuck is an asshole.

I might be annoying by saying this but the person that wrote this post put "their" twice instead of just once (it looks like this: "their their"). It's only a small error though.

I see the new meta in the header of this article with a content value not beginning by a @ (<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="Gargron@mastodon.social">) but the article says that it should be (<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="@Gargron" />).
Could you precise which one is correct?

Good idea.

The publication you feature as an example though is an infamous tabloid making up stories.

Why? They do it to scandalize topics and get enRagement from angry readers.

Please don't feature sensationalist tabloids guilty of spreading fake news.
