I want a blog editor that will let me select a block of text, and then search Google for me, providing me with a list of URLs from a search for the text provided. Then, when I pick one, the text and URL will be turned into a link. Nothing fancy, just a quick way to generate obvious links. For instance, in the last post, I ended up searching Google a half-dozen times to find good URLs for the links in the post. I wish Ecto could automate that for me. *scottstuff*: Blog Editing with Google

Lee asks about blogrolls, and gives me another chance to rant about the “b” word.

What do you think about blogrolls? Should they match RSS subscriptions? Are they useful? Would it remove value from this site to take it off completely?

Common Craft: Blogroll Conundrum

(Follow that link for lots of good points in the comments)

Blogrolls are an interesting little thing, and maybe in some way even tie into Steve Gillmour’s notions of attention.xml (about which I don’t know enough to have an opinion, other than I don’t *think* I need it). I think we’ve outgrown them, even if there ever was a need. Is it for people that don’t link to other people in their regular posts? Yeah, I’ve got lot’s more to say after the jump…

I only sort of have a blogroll (aside: that’s from late 2003, and I just edited to fix broken links; sorry, no custom blogroll icon — imagine a log with an axe in it). Sort of, because the built in aggregator goes along merrily sucking in other people’s feeds in various different categories, including one I even call blogroll.

But only sort of, because it in no way reflects the just under 300 feeds I’m subscribed to. Especially the 2 dozen or so PubSub feeds, which pull in “stuff” from all over the place, and let’s me “read” several orders of magnitude more resources. Some of those feeds are private, but mainly it’s too hard to keep updated, and doesn’t really add much value. It’s the same reason I don’t use my weblink directory anymore: sure, the feature is there, but if I’m going to link, either I’ll put it in del.icio.us and add some tags, or I’ll make a longer blog post with my own thoughts on it. What’s the value of a bare link?

I remember the always-insightful and usually thought provoking Shelley Powers starting off a blogroll debate a little while ago:

Rarely do people discover new webloggers through blogrolls; most discovery comes when you reference another weblogger in your writings. But blogrolls are a way of persisting links to sites, forming a barrier to new voices who may write wonderful things — but how they possibly be heard through the static, which is the inflexible, immutable, blogroll? Burningbird: Steve Levy, Dave Sifry, and NZ Bear: You are Hurting Us

Melanie McBride does a good job of representing the other side of the argument, that a blogroll is a feature that helps define what a blog is:

The suggestions of abandoning blogrolls, so early in the history of the form, is a very bad idea. Especially when it’s coming from high profile bloggers or, at least, bloggers with influence. To abandon blogrolls is to abandon community and the links that connect diverse and unique sensibilities. Links that help others find us and help those who are not already well-connected techy-scenesters find allies and audiences. And our blogrolls are yet another thing that distinguishes us from the traditional media. I don’t like blogs that don’t have blogrolls. Those blogs imply that they’re really only interested in promoting their own voice and don’t have the time or inclination to show you who they’re reading or reveal their support for other blogs via a blogroll. My blogrolls says “I like these blogs (for now)”. Let’s be adult and assume that if we have the time to put together a post we also have the two seconds to add or remove a link. It’s really not that much work to maintain a blogroll. I make changes about once every few months maybe adding a new link every month or so. This really isn’t hard work. And my blogroll is not static. chandrasutra: Blogrolls and community

I don’t think a “blogroll” is much of a thing at all. What does it say, exactly? It says, here are some people I read, that you might enjoy reading too. Except, since I read through RSS, I never see those links. And if I come to your site to comment, it’s just a static chunk of space on the left or right that doesn’t mean much to me — it’s a set of bare links without context. How often do they post? What do they write about?

So what is the difference between a blogroll and links that happen to be websites representing people? Can’t we use del.icio.us? Or put together some more categories around this content, like a selection of people that write about VoIP.

A more generally useful application for links to blogs certainly is for putting together bundles of (what you consider to be) related blogs about different topics. But then, that’s not a blogroll anymore, is it? Actually, these all sound like lists or OPML applications, don’t they?

Back when there were a few double handfuls of people blogging, blogrolls were useful ornaments to help find other interesting people. In today’s world of link clouds, tagging, PubSub monitoring, and millions of blogs…there are better tools.

I’ve had several conversations with people surrounding go links recently, over on Twitter and Matrix; that made me realize I’ve been procrastinating on writing something about them, so here I am. Procrastination over.

Before I lose you, let me tell you outright why I think go links could be interesting or even important to you:

1. They are complementary cognitive artifacts.
2. They are URLs made truly democratic.
3. They are a simple, but solid, base for a distributed social knowledge graph.

Did that pique your interest? Then read on.

A primer§

go links originated within Google around 2005 or 2006. They are the invention of Benjamin Staffin, an SRE (like yours truly); as detailed in his interview with Jon Gaulding from trot.to, they were inspired by AOL keywords and were designed to scratch an itch that Benjamin’s team was experiencing at the time: people kept asking for trivial redirects to internal pages that were relatively work intensive to set up. Go links emerged as self-service named redirects, essentially: a web service that sets up a redirect from a chosen label (e.g. go/agora) to a target URL (e.g. https://flancia.org/agora) pull. From Google they spread to many other companies, particularly around Silicon Valley. If you walk around their offices (well, if you did before Covid-19 anyway) you will see them in wide use.

In many ways, a go link is like any randomly generated "short link" you can get nowadays around the web as offered by a number of services like <bit.ly>: you can create them quickly, they can point to any valid URL, and they tend to be shorter than the URLs they link to. So far so good. But they have some extra attributes:

• They tend to carry semantic information in their labels — you need to choose the go link label anyway, and better names make for easier communication and better recall. Some examples:
  • go/go-links-history is better than https://bit.ly/3iyrl9e as a pointer to https://www.trot.to/blog/2020/07/09/go-links-origin-story/.
  • go/agora is better than https://bit.ly/33Q5F4l as a pointer to https://flancia.org/agora Give URLs back to the people§

    So, what’s with the democratic bit earlier? Isn’t that a bit grandiose? Perhaps, but I believe not by much.

    Back in the early days of the web, the ratio of users that "owned" some part of the URL space to total number of users was quite high. This was due to the fact that many users came from academia and got some personal web space with their campus/research accounts, a la flanbridge.edu/~flancian; or, later, relatively tech-savvy and likely to run a domain of their own or be part of an organization that did so. Even as late as the heyday of blogs, around the mid aughts, lots of internet users could claim ownership of some URL space — and, with it, responsibility over links between resources. Hyperlinks are, of course, the true spirit of the web; it is not the nodes themselves, but rather their connections, that grant the web its power, and define online communities (remember the blogosphere?).

    Then, of course, monolithic social media happened, walled gardens were built — and everything changed. With the push to mobile apps, which are notoriously hard to link to in a consistent cross-platform way, URLs were further de-prioritized by companies; some went as far as fighting deep linking and seemed to make a concerted effort at making URLs useless — by making them impermanent, unreliable. As we all know, cool URIs don’t change.

    I posit go links can give back the power of URIs and stable links to the people; this through the fact that some URL space could be shared equally by all users of a public go links instance. Go links are mostly used in companies nowadays, but they could (and, I believe, should) be extended so they can be used by arbitrary groups in the internet, pending the definition of an ACLing system and the imposition of reasonable terms of use.

    To illustrate: say you write a Facebook post that you are particularly proud of — you share the link widely. One day Facebook decides to take you down for any reason — you’re in trouble. You’ve not only lost your Facebook account and your post — you’ve lost the value of all the links you sent out, and any links that people set up! Even if you rewrote the post in a Wordpress blog, or restore from a personal backup, all the links would still point to the old location, and you would have no way to set up redirects after the fact or even let people know that the target is known to be broken.

    With go links as a tool, you could have shared go/about-topic instead, and just adjusted the target after the Facebook issue. Go links are user-owned arbitrary pointers; a user-friendly overlay that can mediate between said users and the targets controlled oh so often by monolithic platforms that have claimed ownership of most of the URL space that people care about.

    Cognitive artifacts§

    Cognitive artifacts are "artificial devices that maintain, display, or operate upon information in order to serve a representational function and that affect human cognitive performance"¹. They are objects "made by humans for the purpose of aiding, enhancing, or improving cognition"[^2]. Some examples are calendars, to-do lists, computers — and, with the latter, many of their abstractions.

    David Krakauer from the Santa Fe Institute volunteers some further useful definitions surrounding cognitive artifacts: they can be competitive or complementary. Complementary cognitive artifacts have an interesting property: as you use them, you become better at the same or a related cognitive task, even in the absence of the artifact. A common example is the abacus: as it’s widely known, people that become proficient at using the abacus for performing arithmetic become better at these tasks even in the absence of an abacus. To some extent, they are able to internalize the abacus. Compare, of course, to the use electronic calculator; lose your calculator and you’re back to square one, or perhaps worse off than if you didn’t ever have it in the first place. Another example: maps are complementary for most people, whereas step-by-step GPS directions are competitive.

    See where this is going? I’d like to make the argument that go links are complementary cognitive artifacts.

    To see this, ask yourself: where is the go link stored? It is somewhere in a database or an HTTP server configuration for an HTTP redirect, of course; and, sure, if you lost that data, you would not be able to retrieve the target anymore. In that sense, for that function, they are competitive. But an often used go link is also in your head, and you can easily operate with it in some ways — even while far away from a computer or an internet connection. You can tell people about a go link; you can write it down on a piece of paper; you can tattoo it on you (you should probably only do this if you can trust whoever runs your instance). All in all, the go link can be operated on in many ways by virtue of the fact that you remember it. And you will remember it often, even without trying — you may need to use them for a while to believe this, but setting up and using links in spaces interesting to you (and you tend to link interesting things by definition) is clearly reinforcing in my experience.

    Note that the alternative to using go links for many use cases is not to save and store the target URLs, but rather not to use URLs at all; to rely on search instead. You can notice this every time you ask for a document, or try to surface a document for someone, and find it takes a number of steps and involves opening up an interface (say, Google Docs) and searching. In this sense, giving a resource a go link replaces a relatively unstable procedure in your working cognitive space with a constant operation — dereferencing the go link retrieves an item. It’s a valuable optimization. In my experience it adds up. Once you see this and "get" go links, they become indispensable. They have sticking power. I miss them when I’m not in the day job and have thus spent some of my free time replicating them with open source tools.

    Social knowledge graphs§

    Now, we’ve covered some social aspects and some cognitive aspects of go links as a tool. This section is a bit of a synthesis of both: I’d like to make the case that go links are a reasonable platform to build a social knowledge graph ².

    Think about it: the users of a go links instance link resources. Some of the resources are "owned" by them in some way — say, they are the authors of the Google Document, the blog post or the tweet that is being linked. This creates a transitive user-thing-user relationship that can be modelled as implying a user-user relationship. Furthermore, users might also use go links set up by others; this defines yet another relationship of this kind.

    Thing-thing relationships are where things get more interesting. A go linked resource might include a go link to another resource in its body in turn. This can define a thing-thing edge in a knowledge graph; two interesting resources that are related. Taken as a whole, this defines a subgraph of the link graph that defines the web; one that happens to have been semantically annotated by users.

    Note that there are social platforms, like Twitter, where power users constantly struggle to locate content they’ve seen before; search is woefully insufficient. Go links could work as a bookmarking tool in this context and be bootstrapped by this social function.

    After that I would expect information-heavy communities like that that has formed around tools like Roam Research and Notion to benefit the most. Go links can be a good way to share interesting or relevant information between users; the URLs that these tools (and many others) are often opaque. [Roam Research could even auto-Link nodes](https://twitter.com/flancian/status/1292161170565206016

    pull) marked as public, and offer users a way to cross-link nodes with other users’ (see also the federation point below).

    TLDR: Roam/Wikis/Docs/Twitter plus go links = lightweight distributed social knowledge graph that builds on these platforms but is not directly controlled by any of them.

    Extensions§

    If you accept one or more of the hypotheses implied above (that go links can be directly useful to users; that they complement existing tools and platforms well; that they might benefit from network effects), further venues for thought seem to open up:

    • In general, go links could function as a hub-like platform for any number of lightweight label-oriented cross-product integrations (see the Roam example above).
    • Hierarchical go links: multi-level/name-spacing.
    • go links feeds: you can subscribe to updates for go links — or the resources they link. You can subscribe to subgraphs, as well; around things or people.
    • Federation: domains can expose some part of their URL space as go links space. https://flancia.org/go https://flancia.org/go/go-links https://anagora.org/go/go-links Applications§

      All in all, if you had a distributed social knowledge graph, what would you do with it?

      I know what I’d do. I’d build an Agora.

Making a list of go links§

Current Focus: Updating Redirect List from Text File§

Working on updating implicit redirect list…

• Learning JavaScript templating with this tutorial.

Where I left off last / Current holdup: try running node app.js from garden/hello. It says the mustache thing is missing, so check the code for app.js and hello.html. Also, check the documentation that you have saved to make sure you setup the library correctly.

• also, check this out for phase 2: For - Looping commands - Windows CMD - SS64.com

Objective:§

Make a live list of go links from my site uses that regularly updates to https://ethanplante.org/go. (If you don’t know what a go link is, check that link out. They’re pretty much like social bookmarks from my site to somewhere on the web.)

Relevance to Me§

• Reduces friction to setting up go links
  • Enables me to share go links to my evergreens right after uploading them to the garden
• Enables a good index for my [Go links]
  • See this page for what makes go links powerful

Relevance to You§

• Cool, social bookmarks that are pretty easy to remember
• You can set them up fairly easily on https://anagora.org pull

Key Results (KR):§

• A go link exists for each note in [Obsidian Database]/Plantey-Garden (subfolder for where I hold my Obsidian notes) based on title unless otherwise specified
• New .htaccess file is uploaded by means of another
  • Learn Python again (lol), have it do some text editing and add in all the WordPress stuff
• Wikilinks on site are represented by go links, to allow me to change where things are hosted
• Make a list of where I’ve used the go links? (If outside of digital greenhouse/garden)

Flexible Strategy (FS)§

I. For updating implicit redirect list…

• Learn how to edit text files with code and templating…
• Figure out how to run this from cmd
• Add the start of this to AHK

II. For making live list of go links…

• Use STH to upload the text file
• figure out how to delete .htaccess from cmd
• figure out how to upload that text file as .htaccess

III. For updating the go link destination…

• Whenever a new github link is updated:
  • a redirect is created in the text file
  • GitHub note for this is updated
  • Site is updated

IV. For making wikilinks clickable…

• Edit a text file with a script to add a new go link based on markdown format

Additional Goals§

• Auto-convert wikilinks in Obsidian to good URIs on site (go link conversion from title)
• Old titles should redirect to new go links (double bounce… but will this be bad for optimization? maybe file them all as equal variables or update all to the newest one or something…)
  • Cool URIs don’t change (thanks, @Flancia for putting this on your garden)
  • Evergreen note titles are like APIs
    • actually, meshes the metaphor! I need a name for this system…
  • Each wikilink page has a go link for it

Log§

• Make a separate note for this

11-11-2020§

22:14 — Started. Downloaded WinSCP as the software that can interact with files on my site.

23:01 — Figured out how to edit .htaccess file from WinSCP to add a new redirect from /go/. (actually, that’s where I set up the go link in my tweet for this)

(I’m tracking time as I go to document my efficiency.)

23:09 — So I need to run WinSCP from the command line. Gladly, this site tells me how to do so. It looks like what I need to do is start C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe in the command line.

It’s not letting me run that exe file in cmd. Time to review the basics…

23:21 — So the start (stuff above) didn’t quite work. I think there’s a way to open it in cmd…

23:26 — Yes, alright. So, putting start [the stuff from above] doesn’t actually do anything. I need to just put winscp.exe [thing]

23:42 — This is some pretty cool stuff. I just learned that you can hold shift while right clicking on a file to copy its file path. Super helpful.

Here’s the file path for WinSCP: "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe"

When I want to run the WinSCP console, I need to put "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.exe" /console in the command line. From there, I apply this stuff.

Soon enough, I’ll be able to edit my go link redirects from the command line…

…

23:57 — I’ve been logging this on a text file as I’m going. I think you can run scripts from it. Speaking of scripts, I just moved on from the commandline article to this one on scripting, since the first told me to.

So the first order of business is to use the bit of code I had above, and make a script from it…

Is "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" the same thing? The site describes them similarly…

Yes, but this one actually stays within a single cmd window, so that’s nice.

00:18 — Aaaaaaand, I found the meat of the matter. This article covers automation.

00:25 — How do I edit the .htaccess file? Do I need to download it, edit, then reupload?

I realize that this is kind of like a more removed version of live-streaming. Interesting. Perhaps I could make another twitter account for project updates / garden updates

00:37 — Alright. {Bite-sized goal: find the .htaccess file with cmd.

00:54 — Since the last update, a friendly fellow named Alex P. gave me a notification on one of the tabs I had open.

1:04 — So it turns out that the next step was typing in cd /public_html and then ‘get .htaccess’. } (<— this means that I figured out my bite-sized goal.) {My problem now is figuring out where it’s downloaded and how to edit it with a script…

1:20 — Alex says that I might need to extend this to a .NET assembly. I assume this is so that it can run files in a more complex programming language than just command line.

1:33 — Alex: "After reviewing all the relevant information, I would suggest writing a PowerShell script, that incorporates the WinSCP executable to download the remote file, then remove. Afterwards, edit the file from shell with another command like Add-Content, then pass the file through to WinSCP once more for the upload. I would be interested in further research for this project, I will contact you later tonight possibly."

2:20 — I’m ending work here for today. Alex mentioned other possibilities than PowerShell (like using the server’s Linux capabilities), but I’ll look at those tomorrow. This is still an important project (see Relevance), and I’m not sure how much progress I’ve actually made toward the goal. Still enjoyed figuring this out, though.

[[November 25th, 2020]]§

ilmeschinocalunniato on the Athens Discord server warned me against making the .htaccess file public. Instead, I should make a list that uploads as .htaccess. This clarifies my goals a bit…

[[December 3rd, 2020]]§

Arya from the Interhackt Discord server helped with my issues and sent me this tutorial. Learning JS will help me with other projects, but if this is too complex, I’ll just use Python, seeing that I have some experience with it.

Downloaded [[Node.js]], which I learned allows you to run JavaScript without using the web. Sweet.

Downloading npm, which lets me download packages with Node.js.

Alright, after going over that tutorial slowly about 4 times now and intermittently searching up confusing words on Google, I’ve determined that I need someone else to explain things to me.

[[December 4th, 2020]]§

Consulting Discord once more.

I might be able to figure this out. Following this tutorial for setting up an app using VS Code and Node JS, I managed to make a little snippet that can run from cmd. In other words: I can run javascript scripts from the command line now. Time to learn JS basics…

So Leonard Pauli helped me out a bit. He made an html file that walked me through the basics of replacing things in JS.

21:05§

• I’m finding that HTML isn’t super hard to pick up. It’s like markdown, but more complicated.
• I’m trying to figure out how to actually get the page to display the replacement with the mustache template setup.

21:58§

• Apparently you can run shortcuts to the Windows command line. If you hit Win-R, type cmd, and hit enter, it opens the command line. But if you put cmd /k [command], it opens the command line after invisibly running that command with it. Pretty cool. So what I setup is a command called doskey that lets you make shortcuts to run commands from smaller words or phrases in the command line. What I did is set one up to navigate to my Plantey-Garden file from where cmd normally opens. The command looks like this: 'doskey garden=cd "C:\Users\[rest of the path to my Obsidian database]\Plantey-Garden"'. The final result is for me to run cmd /k [that long thing] from the Win-R box.
  • Of course, I realized afterward that I could’ve just typed this into the Win-R box: cmd /k cd "C:\Users\[rest of the path to my Obsidian database]\Plantey-Garden", which would put me at the same spot. Nice, self.

Pull Links§

Pulled Links§

• Nodes that are specially relevant to the context at hand can be pulled. To do this, just add a block using the [[pull]] action:
  • [[pull]] [[pulled nodes]]

Roam Go Links§

• https://twitter.com/Conaw/status/1292164908688134145 pull

Shortlinks§

• A way of referencing URLs without typing out the full domain.
• Common shorthands for websites are mutually agreed upon.
• Commonly:
  • gh/[user]/[repo]#[issue] links to https://github.com/[user]/[repo]/issues/[issue]: repo and issue are omittable in the case that only a user or only a repository are wanted to be linked to.
  • Same for gl but to GitLab instead of GitHub.
  • Same for gd but to GitDab.
  • tw/[user] links to https://twitter.com/[user].
  • sw/[id] links to https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=[id].
• References to the [[Agora]] could also be made shortlinks, perhaps ag/[node]?
• Shortlinks aim to emulate the automatic link replacements of the website in question.
  • gh/[content] should behave the same as if [content] was posted on GitHub itself.
  • tw/[user] should replace the functionality of mentioning @user on Twitter.

Shortlink Guidelines§

• Shortlinks should start with an identifier and a slash, such as tw/ or abc/.
  • The identifier is not restricted to two characters, but most common ones can be condensed to two characters.
• Shortlinks should not be URIs themselves.
• Shortlinks should not obfuscate content, like a traditional link shortener.

User Links§

• In the [[agora]] you can link to another user’s subnodes within a node with two conventions as of the time of writing ([[2021-01-25]]):
  • [[@flancian/readme]]
  • [[readme@flancian]]

• [[neil]] https://social.coop/@neil/107527105960845017 pull

Wiki Links§

Wiki links are the internal links that connect the files in your knowledge base.

To create a wiki link use [[ and type the name of another file in your repo, for example [[graph-visualization]]

You can also create a [[placeholder]]. A placeholder is a wiki link that doesn’t have a target file and a link to a placeholder is styled differently so you can easily tell them apart. They can still be helpful to highlight connections.

Open the graph with Foam: Show Graph command, and look at the placeholder node.

Remember, with CTRL/CMD+click on a wikilink you can navigate to the note, or create it (if the link is a placeholder).

Feel free to use [[[[backlinks]]]], [[wikilinks]], [[edges]], [[multilinks]], or [[whatever the fuck you want to call it]] anywhere when talking to me in reference to something on the [[anagora]] or otherwise, my browser will resolve wikilinks in the default order, aside from duckduckgo as the 3rd step for unprefixed.

What?! [[Wikilinks Everywhere]], enjoy 🥰!

Wikilinks§

• a [[list]].
  • [[pull]] [[wikilink]]
• a [[thing]].
  • I’m excited about [[wikilinks everywhere]].
  • [[vera]] suggested we rename these. Some brainstorming follows
    • [[neil]] [[hyphalinks]]
    • [[multilinks]]: as they are unlike regular links in that they can point to many different places — which particular URL they resolve to depends on the user clicking them.
    • [[querylinks]] ([[qlinks]]?): as they essentially behave as queries in the agora. queries return relevant subnodes/resources.
    • [[nodelinks]] as they map to nodes in the agora.
      • [[edges]]?

    ⥅ [[Pasted image 20210621164333.png]]

Wikilinks were pioneered by earlier internet wikis to make it easier to write links across pages without needing to write Markdown or HTML links each time.

Quartz supports Wikilinks by default and these links are resolved by Quartz using the [[CrawlLinks]] plugin. See the Obsidian Help page on Internal Links for more information on Wikilink syntax.

This is enabled as a part of [[Obsidian compatibility]] and can be configured and enabled/disabled from that plugin.

Syntax§

• [[Path to file]]: produces a link to Path to file.md (or Path-to-file.md) with the text Path to file
• [[Path to file | Here's the title override]]: produces a link to Path to file.md with the text Here's the title override
• [[Path to file#Anchor]]: produces a link to the anchor Anchor in the file Path to file.md
• [[Path to file#^block-ref]]: produces a link to the specific block block-ref in the file Path to file.md

  • this is why I think having an actual wiki wiki would be so good for social.coop :) eg. we’re just getting started at neuromatch.social but we have this https://wiki.neuromatch.io/Mastodon/Governance#Actions pull and have just been gathering up all FAQs asked by our members and putting them on the wiki. and then also like @[flancian 🍄] saw at our workshop a few months ago have a discord (which we’re using as the intra-instance communication spot) to wiki bot that lets you just use [[Wikilinks]] and have the messages embedded in the wiki so you can reference conversations about the topic as well :)

• [[2022-03-13 21:16:21]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • from now on the bot will respond to any messages with [[wikilinks]] in this room, and link+store them in the matching node in anagora.org
• [[2022-03-26 17:30:16]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • (note that if you use [[wikilinks]] in this room, [[agora bot]] will store a link and a copy of your message with your nickname on it in the Agora.)
• [[2022-04-16 22:21:54]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • hi there! if you add An Agora to a channel and you use [[wikilinks]], the bot will 1. link your message in anagora.org (the nodes you mentioned) and 2. respond with the link.

  • if you want to join in, feel free to use this channel; if you use [[wikilinks]] in your messages, they will be indexed by anagora.org and written in the matching nodes
• [[2022-11-18 22:39:34]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • would another wiki based on git + markdown (plus [[wikilinks]]; but I see dokuwiki supports that syntax so that’s great) and having SSO also work?
• [[2023-07-22 18:51:47]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • hi all! I’ve invited [[agora bot]] to this room. Agora bot responds to, and cross-posts, messages with any [[wikilinks]], to a free knowledge commons you can view at e.g. https://anagora.org pull. It should ignore other messages by default. Please let me know if you’d like any changes, etc.
• [[2024-08-12 11:53:23]] [[@flancian:matrix.org]] (link):
  • Yes, An Agora watches out for [[wikilinks]] and optionally #hashtags (support varies per platform) and posts links and saves posts/anchors to the linked nodes

  • @siem @agora ahoy there! Thank you for reaching out.

    Yes, accounts that follow it or that mention it directly. It also only reacts to posts that have [[wikilinks]] or #hashtags.

    Let me know if you think any behavior should change!

• [[2023-02-24 00:43:57+00:00]] @[[flancian@social.coop]] (link):

  • #Hashtag handling in Agora bot should be lightly improved now, and you can opt out of it if you want (even if you continue to follow the bot for [[wikilinks]] based interactions).

• [[2024-05-12 15:34:24+00:00]] @[[flancian@social.coop]] (link):

  • @simon my proposal to work around any linking limitations is to “just” define and maintain our own linking layer on top of all forms of social media — in particular, using [[wikilinks]] to signal that the user means to link to an external knowledge base ;)

  • @BillSeitz @bmann @jessmartin @RobertHaisfield @csageland @balOShere @JoelChan86 @TiddlyWiki @an_agora @socialroots_io What we need is a [[knowledge commons]]. The commons is based on a shared set of values. A commons may define rules for self-governance. Rules for cooperation can be attached to working spaces, which in an [[agora]] all map to [[wikilinks]] resolved in a [[federated]] system.- [[2022-10-01 19:48:49+00:00]] @[[flancian]]: https://twitter.com/flancian/status/1576298105355456512 pull

[[agora bot]] is now fully back to Twitter! That means if you follow @an_agora and then use [[wikilinks]], you don’t need to keep at-mentioning the bot; they should see your post in their timeline and react to it within a few minutes. https://t.co/YH4g4KcyCZ

root.

They are also a good pattern for when you want to attach metadata to a post while boosting; I often do that by adding [[wikilinks]] or #hashtags. (2/2)
