@JoeBuhlig I’m getting a 403 error on your now page. Just a heads up
@bdkl_ Oh! Thanks for the heads up. Finally upgraded that server and it seems to have failed building the database.
@JoeBuhlig is the file for the latest episode of bookworm okay? it won't play on the website or downloading Pocket casts for me. It's the one about bullet journals
@JoeBuhlig I hear ya. Took me a bit to see what you were doing. My goal in life is the opposite. I like control of my web content. When I edit/delete I want that propagated everywhere. Thinking that the https://t.co/7PgiRNvy2W was implementing that was what interested me. Enjoy life!
@RichGriese I tend to edit (mostly) before I ever publish. I can only think of one or two cases where I deleted. In those cases I do it manually. Not worth the extra work.
@JoeBuhlig So the micro blog on your site is dealing with mentions more like emails, where you use https://t.co/S9jb3OgxeW to deliver you the tweet/reply, and retain a copy? For example, I've got my tweets to delete after a week, but on your site they will remain even after deleted?
@RichGriese If it helps to think of it that way, sure. But I tend to think of all communication methods in turns of an inbox to be processed.

@JoeBuhlig I've only read of webmentions, the idea being that your site would automatically reflected edits/changes on the source site, you in effect would display a dynamic reference to the source. So, your using webmentions, but then making a actual copy to your embed display?
@RichGriese I’m not truly “embedding.” I’m using the services to capture the data, store it, and then display it. All done via APIs or JSON/XML feeds.

@JoeBuhlig Cool. I deleted the big "reply" I posted the other day, & it "seemed" to delete, but still shows on your embedded microblog. Was thinking my delete would remove it from your embed, and then my tweet would hit your embed. Yeah... testing. Thought maybe it was done w/ webmentions.
@RichGriese My site uses webmentions.io. But I download the webmentions when new ones arrive so that the context of my replies always remains.

@JoeBuhlig Thanks for your post. Checking how your sites handles replies via Twitter. You can see a page I use for folks just getting into Christian history here https://t.co/4tu7HoycFv In the next few days I'll create a response to your 1.50pm 5/7 post. Enjoy life!
@RichGriese Sounds good, Rich. It all works the same on my end. Original posts go everywhere. Replies go to the one source.

@joebuhlig This is kind of fun. I'm using this post to sort of reach out to you, both about micro.blog and the content of this tweet?/micro.blog/post? (trying to grasp the multiple platforms.)
I came cross your micro site page with the very nicely formated posts on a search for something like "why isn't there a slack/discord like chat with twitter login" and your page caught my eye. Created a micro.log account today, and am playing with it. It seems like your page embed is probably more complex than my free account without embed-ability.
RE the church part of this tweet... I've been studying church history since the late 1980s. Started mostly with "historical Jesus" stuff, and ranged over many topics. Today I'm also interested in the state of and form of Christianity in the USA. It seems to me that since the time of Lurther, Christianity has been breaking into smaller and smaller groups. I could see this continuing, and a number of Christians participating in nothing other than online communities. I came across one such example of this on Discord. A server of young christians (HS, college, and some post college) none of which go to any kind of traditional church building.
The word "church", goes back to ecclesia, which also predates it's Christian usage, and was the community of military age males who could meet and put their ideas forward. Some early Christian churches appear to have begun as both burial societies as well as dining clubs.
I think the communal aspect of churches / communities will continue. I think the role of supernaturalism will perhaps become less and less important in many of these.
would be happy to talk with you and get to know you further if this is a topic of interest to you. If I missread your interest RE the post I'm commenting on, I understand.
In any event, would be great if you could reply or mention me via micro.blog so I can try to begin to understand how this systems mention alerts work. :)
Enjoy life!
@RichGriese Welcome to Micro.Blog!
My setup is pretty advanced and likely quite difficult to replicate. Trust me. I’m trying to replicate my own system with another site and it’s taking a while.
As for “church”, I went to a Christian college and have four semesters of Koine Greek in my background. And the way I’ve interpreted it is that “church” requires an element of fellowship with other believers. And in my opinion, digital only methods of fellowship are severely lacking in almost every way.
Thus, my question above. How do we do this when quarantined at home? When Stay-At-Home orders are lifted we can encourage families to meet and watch live streams together. But until then, we struggle.
Anyways, hi! 👋
@FatherRoderick @ChrisWiegman @JoeBuhlig May have ideas after working on it for his church
@curtismchale @FatherRoderick With three singers, I’d go SM58 in front of each with a vocal plate reverb to blend them. Otherwise, look at Rode NT5.
I would love theories on this as well. But through the lens of church.

@HeyScottyJ @JoeBuhlig I’m about to delete my tags and I’m not sure whether to be mad at the two of you.
@jeroensangers Initial thoughts: multimarkdown-based, tagging subscribers, forms that apply tags, scheduling, and potentially some automations based on tags. What else would be useful?
Those who send email newsletters: if an email marketing service existed that prevented spying on subscribers (no tracking whatsoever), would you use/pay for it?

@curtismchale You may want to check the amazon links on your recent business books article. They don’t seem to work as expected.

@JoeBuhlig Was it recorded??
@DrewCoffman Poorly. Giving it again at the end of March with the intent to record it legitimately this time.
I need to find people who care as much about the intersection of ‘technology’ and ‘the church’ as I do. Hit me up if that’s you.
@DrewCoffman I have a talk I’ve given recently titled The Amish Smartphone that goes down this path. 😉

Top 5 from Trader Joe’s: 1. Dark chocolate PB cups 2. Dried mango 3. Plantain chips 4. Pot stickers 5. Fudge Chip ice cream
@JoeBuhlig Programming my old Sony phone to play Kraftwerk's The Model is probably still the best thing I've ever done with a mobile. Though it was scarily loud at full volume.
@thekfe The intro to that song would make for an amazing ringtone! Had a friend that used Joe Diffie’s John Deere Green. That’ll tell you the culture I grew up in. 😂

Just moved the cdn for joebuhlig.com from CloudFront to Digital Ocean’s Spaces. Trying to cut back on the tracking involved with my blog. Let me know if you see anything funny.

@PeterRollins @discordapp @Patreon Have you any experience of @discordapp @JoeBuhlig ? ;)
@neilgrice Personally, I don’t like Discord. It’s easy for conversations to disappear quickly. Basically, it’s like Slack. I prefer Mighty Networks or Discourse. I know the latter integrates with Patreon.

If you have kids, turn your clocks forward 10 minutes a day this week. Sunday will be much less disruptive if you can do this.
