@manton Tantek is one of the pioneers of the Indie web. What are all these apparent links to tweets he's posting on the Timeline, none of which seem to go to any tweets? Can't someone tell him what to do different? They don't work for me on Dialog or on the Chrome browser on Android. He has been posting dozens of them. Do they work for anyone? If not, can't someone help him out?? Or tell me what I'm doing wrong, if they work for everyone else.

@mexpat @manton I agree with Glenn completely. To me, I experienced it as spam, which is very rare here on micro.blog! I don't think it was intended as spam, especially considering the source, which made it seem very ironic to me. Even the idea of linking to many things on Twitter (even if I could have seen them, which I couldn't, with Dialog) seemed very out of step with the usual postings here. I have been saying for a looooong time that I believe the community standards here should more specifically specify the positive things that would be most welcome on micro.blog, not just the most agregious postings we would want to avoid or ban. For example, I would readily pledge to limit my postings and comments here to things that are civil in tone, respectful in nature, and constructive in intent. It's not something that would need to be policed, but I believe making a positive statement about what we all want to contribute here would be a wonderful thing to have. Many decades ago when I was in college, all students agreed to a Code of Honor, which helped to create a very positive tone at our college. The system is still working there today and I think a positive statement of our core intent could have a similar beneficial effect here. Of course I realize I am just one user here and what I want may not be anything at all like what others want. Thanks for reading this.
