@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.
@JohnPhilpin There were ten more today (12:59 am here), all of various people posting links on Twitter to the New Yorker article. His links don't work in Dialog. So basically the same broken thing, over and over and over. You've probably already read the article anyway. Why do we need ten more reminders that it's there? {Hint: We don't.)
This all stems from someone automating the posting of something here, when they aren't actually here to see the outcome of the posting, or to actually communicate with anyone! In Gmail, a filter puts all such things for me in a special place, it's called the spam folder. Another is the Dave Winer account. Dave is on scripting.com, not here, but his links RSS feed puts things here automatically. Try replying to one of those postings. You'll never get a reply, because he's not here! "Dave" is one of the few people here who I've ever unfollowed. I'd rather read his stuff on his own website anyway. Actually I did notice one instance recently when Dave DID reply. Just to prove that general statements are never true, I suppose. He follows me on Twitter, but I bet he doesn't here! I've gotten back into reading his stuff some lately.
More than one person here has told me that unfollowing people is the solution to my problems here. So far, that's never been the right answer. For example not long ago a link to a Tantek talk came up, I watched it and enjoyed it. Had I unfollowed him, I never would have seen the talk. @manton
