@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.
@manton @Ron @mexpat I see right now Tantek’s entire Micro.blog profile post listing is this collection of “likes” of tweets from yesterday (and even visiting his website, I can’t find how to find a list or archive of any posts older than Monday!), which seems…excessive.
I follow some folks who use Like posts in a useful manner (e.g., Cheri, Eli)—I don’t know if they’re formal IndieWeb Likes, but they 1) aren’t spamming the Timeline with them (a few a day, and not even every day) and 2) are formatted in such a way that I have some idea of the content (the post title is the link text—obviously you can’t get that with a tweet, but you could still use n characters of the tweet text).
That said, it’s not clear to me what the issue here is? If Tantek isn’t making posts you want to read, just unfollow (or block, if you never want to see anything from him, ever) him, right? Or is this being seen as a sign of platform health, the first tumble on the slippery slope to spam and bots?
