Relevance of Local Content

 * Does it make sense to post hyper-local content on your site? e.g. Went to The History of Exclusion on the Eastside - Tracy Durnell
 * Will people far away on the internet care about local content?
 * Local content often has parallels outside of a specific location
 * Racial Restrictive Covenants Project at Washington State
 * Mapping Prejudice - University of Minnesota
 * Redlining and Housing Covenants in South Pasadena

Webmentions

 * @remy/webmention node package
 * is looking at fixing an issue where it doesn't pick up fed.brid.gy links
 * self mentions could be a option/flag
 * What use cases are there for image webmentions?
 * Stats, notification
 * Done via http header (per spec)
 * Webmention endpoint caching issue
 * 2021/Pop-ups/Webmentions_Beyond_Webmention.io was related (but doesn't address caching)
 * We should do anther popup soon!
 * See 2023/Pop-ups/Sessions
 * Bridgy Fed documentation on u-bridgy-fed
 * @remy/webmention currently doesn't check for links outside e-content
 * Added a Check Endpoint to his fork of webmention.app for debugging

Collaborating with other communities

 * Should we consider adopting the Open Graph Protocol standard?
 * There are a lot of properties that are likely never used
 * How do we encourage IndieAuth adoption from the broader D-Web space
 * There's very little understanding of IndieWeb concepts in the meetups/conferences
 * Even for projects with a federation setup, what tools/protocols could be used across these communities
 * Some of the vocabulary/principles of the IndieWeb don't fit with d-web community
 * Lots of projects in the d-web community revolve around roadmaps and project leads which is different than the IndieWeb ethos of imprlementation first, spec later
 * 2023/Pop-ups/Sessions
 * https://home.omg.lol/ - supports Fediverse
 * Unstoppable domain .coin issue - One example of why to avoid unstoppable domains.
 * Creative commons has published some articles on generative AI
 * Better Sharing for Generative AI
 * Fair Use: Training Generative AI
 * Experts Weigh In: AI Inputs, AI Outputs and the Public Commons - Webinar summary
 * Generally considers AI training fair use (at least legally)

Expanding IndieWeb Adoption

 * D-web projects are looking to THE project with all the momentum, development, users, and hype
 * IndieWeb principles tend to be less capitalistic, winner-takes-all
 * How could a service make it easy to get set up with the IndieWeb?
 * Micro.blog is our obvious example
 * There's not really a "free trial" for creating websites
 * Squarespace makes it easy to sign up for a domain but is not very flexible
 * Wordpress is both easy to sign up for and customizable, but complicated to set up
 * We could make a d-web/fediverse site that requires indieauth/webmentions to post 😄 (like indieweb.xyz)
